re: Lost high schools of Louisiana

Posted by Ollie1968 on 5/2/25 at 3:10 pm to
Mt. Carmel-New Iberia. Consolidated with CHNI.

The two elementary schools I attended (Grand Marais and Pebbles) were demolished after Katrina and Rita. A new school was constructed (Caneview?) to replace them. Strange looking at where they were and seeing nothing.

Also, the Center Street Junior High was closed and I think turned into an old folks home or something.
Dr Lahasky is a name I haven’t heard in 40 years or so.
Grew up in the country south of New Iberia.
Where was that? We graduated the same year, same school.
Where was Riveroaks Elementary?
Thank you. My first presidential election I embarrassing will say was for Dukakis. It felt wrong then and have never voted for a single Democrat since. Undoubtedly will be voting for the so-called felon again.
Yes and yes. Seen a ghost in Al Asad, Iraq at the Marine camp. Been interested in the subject since a kid when I heard a screen door opening and footsteps coming in my mawmaw’s house and no one
was there. Always thought and still do it was my grandfather who had passed in 1951.
Wow…are there subsidized housing in that area now? Haven’t been home in many, many years.
I did however the clowns at Disney pulled all ESPN channels from Spectrum in Alabama. frick Disney.
There also . Was going fishing with a friend and his uncle the next weekend or so but couldn't make it but they found him walking the head lanes behind Patoutville and the uncle convinced him to turn himself in. Ms G lived but was messed up afterwards.
Are you referring to Center Street?

re: Why do you visit this board?

News and the multiple take from posters. BTW there are truly ignorant folks that post here. This board is the reason for getting an account. There was one poster, who I think passed, that posted daily during the early obama years. You had to be signed in to view the posts. I have looked at nearly every thread since.

Happy I did.
Thanks. Nice to know. Been ordering online from Teet's in Ville Platte.
Got treated for asthma, a badly sprained ankle and a burn on my leg that didn't want to heal. All I remember each time going late a night to a old black lady that put me leaning against a tree touching my head and body while speaking dirty French.

When I went to MEPs in NO one of the counselors asked if I ever had asthma and I told him I did as a kid until I got treated. The guy looked at me like I was crazy but he didn't ask anymore questions.
I have never worn a mask in Walmarks since this crap started. The only places that made me wear a mask was Subway and that was once, the commissary and shoppette. Hell the schools stop requiring masks over a month ago; six months too late. Never got sick which is surprising since I'm always out & about.

That's my problem. Pick 15 strawberries throw 8 in the compost from slugs.

I'm in Alabama andI grow the Ozark Beauty variety. These are everbearing and produce most of the year. Thought I lost them from a weed that took over the garden and strawberry patch last fall. Cleaned the bed out two weeks ago and have blooms coming on as of today. I have 16 plants now but probably will get two hanging plants for use to start the runners so I can get up to 24. Cheapest way to grow strawberries. The 16 plants produced about three or four gallons last year.

Now my four blueberry bushes and eight blackberries put out. Door to the freezer is still full. Used them all winter and gave alot away last year. They're looking even better this year.

Thanks guys.

Fry them. Clean all the mud out and soak in milk for a couple hours. Used to enjoy eating them. The old lady I stayed with when I was a kid forbade me from bringing them fish in her her house.

Then again I thought garfish was the best tasting fish there was. Choupique in potato hash was mighty good and gaspergou court-bouillon was awesome. Haven't eaten any of those in 45+ years, my memory may be failing.

This sounds promising. Is Jones putting on any weight also?
