North Jefferson is going to have a black rep??
That’s going to piss off a lot of people.

The owner of the company I worked for at the time, on 9/11 he was on a plane a couple hours into a flight leaving Paris to go the New York JFK. They turned the plane around and went back to Paris. He had his wife and two daughters with him and they didn’t get back to NOLA until a week later.

I asked him how he enjoyed his Europe vacation and he told me “never go to Europe alone with three woman”. :lol:

Not the same guy but I looked into this on a recent car purchase. The guy I talked with had some pre-negotiated deals on certain cars and trims. He did have the car and trim I wanted , but the car had to be picked up at a dealership in Houston (I live in Metairie). He doesn’t divulge the dealership until his fee of $750 is paid. After paying his fee I could have saved about $2000, but I figured my cost of going to Houston at $400, and the local dealer sweetened the deal by $1250, so I went with the local dealer, even though I could have saved about $350 getting the car from Houston.

Looking at the pre-negotiated deals he had, I think that if you are purchasing a high end car, he could have saved a good deal of money, but none of the cars were available from dealers in south Louisiana, had to pick up (or ship) car from dealerships in Texas or Florida.

I was shopping cars a while back back and I test drove the RAV4, CRV, Mazda CX5, and the Hyundai Tucson and the one I like best was the Tucson. It had a better ride, was quieter, had the nicest interior, and was bigger on the inside.

went to St Clement?

When my dad built our house and moved in, St Clement used to have Sunday masses in the showroom of Metairie Ford, where Matt Bowers is now. W. Esplanade was two way traffic on the south side of the canal, the north side was a dirt road. Cleary didn’t exist on the north side of W. Esplanade, it was all woods. At the end of Gary Mikel at the lake, there was Weavers barn.

Stop the hate. That’s one of my St Martinville baws.

Savages

I read a history of the planning and building of the Causway and originally the bridge on the south shore would have been on the Ponchartrain/ West End Blvd corridor in New Orleans.

It's pretty common to read accounts of how savage the Confederate troops were.

Kind of like General Banks greenlighting the Yanks to rape black women during the Bayou Teche campaign.

I’m voting for Fleming, but I give Cassidy props for ousting Landrieu.
