My elementary school still had some desks with inkwells still in use. Nobody needed an inkwell, but there they were.

Actually the big hanger is still there with tennis courts in it.
The fire station was next to it on the corner. They knocked it down in the mid 70's and built a new one in the same spot. Then a few years ago built one at Westdale Junior High and another on East Airport and closed the other. Just recently they knocked it down too.
Buying Coca Cola in the 6.5 oz bottles in the wooden case at Wade Lemoines Esso.
TG&Y Five and Dime
Western Auto Stores
Lum's Hot Dogs "boiled in beer"
Woolworths
Shoppers Fair
At Tiger Stadium you could rent a pillow for that seat of like my father bring a folding chair.
I watched Pete Maravich play basketball in The Cow Palace
There were a bunch of drive in movie theaters around BR.
What was the drag strip in Prairieville I believe?
Saw David Allen Coe at the Old South Jamboree out Florida Blvd. man that was some rednecks there.

It's all relative. Actually, times are better today than back then.

McDonalds has the $1.00 menu so not too much has changed.

I was born in '81.
My parents' Falcon had no seat belts in the backseat. I remember all the hard halts.
We had 3 channels; but FOX was out because our Mom hated the Simpsons.
Jame's Drugstore still served burgers and sold candy for a nickel.
There was one Carter's Grocery in Denham Springs. They used to rent VHS and had a snowball stand.
Millennials are capable of nostalgia, too

Rode bikes to the shopping center, picking up bottles along the way. Turned them in for enough to buy a Coke and a candy bar.

Looking back, TG&Y was crap. To a kid though, it was awesome. Western Auto would still be awesome today, if open. They had everything that was not groceries.
Lums. Is anything even still open in the Rebel shopping center?

You dudes who did rotc in the 60's:
Did you have your iq score read aloud for all to hear? Before political correctness. We heard every single guy's scores, both army and af.
Remember slide rules? La tech Fickwad frat boy the only sergeant in the soph class, wrote answers to chem final on
his slide rule.
Glad i never served under that slime.

Saw a few of those, not to mention I got to met him and get his autograph at one of the very few games he played in the PMAC. Jazz vs Hawk preseason game.
How about top notch concerts with $6.50 -$7.50 ticket prices

Gas at $ 0.299 per gallon
Cokes at $0.10 from a vending machine
Burger Chef Hamburgers at $0.29 each
