I have sat in 406 since 1991, high neighbor. :cheers:

We have taillgated on the Old Front Nine for over 20 years and I live in Central, so, I know my option. If you can get to Gourrier (Old Front Nine Driveway Entry), head East to W. Parker, Left to Highland, take a right. This is critical man, turn left into the nieghborhood on Amherst before the road block on LSU Ave. Then basically cut thru the neighborhood back to LSU Ave and take a left and you are home free. If you do not turn on Anhesrt, you are screwed :lol:

Or park over by the Volleyball courts side to the north and exit out on Nicholson to Goverment. Logistics Bruh :thup:
Top Of The Rock Museum in the Arkansas Ozarks. Amazingly done covering local Civil War, Native American and Dinasour history. It blew me away, was not expecting how extremely nice this place is.

Had Tickets in 82 when Ossie banned Ozzy. Cost me chance to see Randy Rhoads. :angry:

1983 at the State Fair Grounds on Airline with, Blue Oyster Cult, LeRoux and Vandenberg. Lake E Lee on lead for Ozzy.

At UNO with Alice in Chains in 1993. Zakk Wylde on lead for Ozzy.

Sadly, never got to see Black Sabbath :banghead:

He was the "sound" of the band without a doubt. I saw them a few times back in their prime and they always delivered. Two drummers...... :dude:

Bruh, I was Class of '78 at Belaire and that place was like Fast Times at Ridgemont High. They didn't call it Jellaire for nothing. :pimp:

Oh, I remember all too well as then DA Ossie Brown cost me my chance to see Randy Rhoads. I had tickets to that show and Ossie did in fact ban Ozzy as a Devil Worshiper after he was in the news for biting the head off of a Bat. At that time, BR was a top 5 Tour stop. It was an epic era of concert history. Every weekend was a HOF Performer. I was a very young electrician at the time and drove a huge arse Bread Van for work. It was white, and in the sheen of dirt and dust I scrawled out the words, "Ozzy vs Ossie" on it in huge arse letters. A picture of me driving that van with those words somehow ended up in the local newspaper. My then boss was not pleased. In true Ozzy form, he gave Ossie a huge FU and played a killer outdoor show in 1983 at the State Fairgrounds on Airline. The line-up was Blue Oyster Cult, LeRoux and Vandenberg. Jake E Lee played Lead Guitar that night for Ozzy. :dude: :cheers:
That is great question Speedy. The longest road project in the history of man. The State Capitol was built faster in the frickin 40's.......As a resident of Central, I am beyond pissed.
I knew Mugsy well, he could shoot some Pool but was one hell of a degenerate.
I spent some time runnin in the BR Pool scene way back when. Tournaments all over town on the weekends. Pool Leagues where local dive bars teams competed. I ran a team out of Sonny's off Madeline Ct. You had to know Eddie Reeves at Greenway? Used to shoot at JD's on Dallas Dr. And Mr. G's on Sharp Rd. Lots of fights over a 25 cent Pool game. Much fun....
Oh man the Happy Note. Tommy was one of the owners I think, and the resident bookie. Tall lanky bartender was Jack and he poured the stiffest drink in BR. Tommy took me and another regular on a "Collection" ride once without telling us what we were getting into, nobody died.
Man, Tiger Lair is a place I've not thought about in years. Used to shoot pool there, 2nd floor, it was the coolest vibe in Tigertown. The only other place in that area we went to was on across Nicholson, maybe it was called Yesterday's. Late 70's, early 80s.

Red Oaks checking in.


Another Red-Oaker here.

- Belaire was new high school and full of hot arse gals wearing B Bennet hip huggers and Halter Tops. We smoked pot at the bleachers.

- We hung out at the North Sherwood Park on the weekend blaring Led Zeppelin and getting high.

- We threw the Frisbee around a lot, played ultimate frisbee before there was such a thing and way before frisbee golf.

- Rock and Roll Clubs (J Club, Sports Page, Papa Joes, etc) were the place to be seeing great local bands like Pot Liquor, Blue Max and Maniaxe.

- The LSU Assembly Center was a top 5 tour stop for concerts. Every weekend it was; Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Bad Company, Queen, Eagles, etc.

- Fastpitch Softball was a huge sport for boys and men's leagues. Huge league at Forest Park.

BR was a great place to grow up and raise a family.

:cheers:
