We were over there all the time. His mom was my soccer coach. Haven’t thought about them in ages. My parents lived there from 78-02.

They all moved back to Massachusetts years ago where the parents were from. I've sort of lost touch over the years.
My time running around that neighborhood would have been mid to late 80s, maybe very early 90s.

Yeah…didn’t see them much after their mom passed away. I’d see Jimmy at Winn Dixie but that was about it .

Grew up in N. BTR, weekends were full. Camping out, sneaking in Tiger Drive Inn, swimming at the KC hall on the Airline, hunting and fishing, building car engines, racing motorcycles. Best times when my friends parents would drop us off at their camp in S. La. We could hunt and fish. Best part, they had food and beer at the camp!

We must be from the same era, those are all part of my childhood. To think, I used to ride my bike down Highland Road regularly to reach other subdivisions that were separated by woods. Those are all bulldozed down and covered in concrete now, and some days, I’m terrified driving an SUV down Highland. I went to Lee when our mascot was a Rebel and Dixie was our fight song.

Treehouses....we buit many, many treehouses in the woods. Funny how the woods have completely vanished over the years.
We wore heavy jackets in the winter time and played war games with our Daisy BB guns. Of course, head shots were not allowed!
Swimming in large ditches after or during a heavy rainfalls. Built gokarts that you steered with your feet while the smaller kids pushed you from behind.
Collected soft drink bottles for cash from Winn Dixie. I remember getting a whopping 3 cents per bottle. Cans weren't being used much back then.
Roy Rogers early Saturday morning, then double feature westerns with Audie Murphy, Randolph Scott, John Wayne, etc.

Grandmother lived around Jefferson Terrace... Some of the best days of my life were spent riding bikes from sun rise to sunset. Fishing BCBS lake, Ramers and french quarter.
Went by not long ago, as both grandparents have passed. Huge homes going up, hardly recognize it now.
