There's another vampire in the French quarter 😮

I absolutely love all of your videos. I was born at a Thibodaux hospital in August of 1949 but we lived in Galliano. I married in late 1969 and lived in a rent house in Golden Meadow for 4 1/2 years. We built our house in 1973, in Galliano. We are still here 51 years later! Raised 3 kids here but sadly not one remained here 😢. Thibodaux, North Shore, California. Adult grandchildren in Terrebonne Parish. But us? Right here in south Lafourche

One of the kids in the back seat was her daughter Mariska Hargitay.

Remember the Wego Opry?

Hate it here

@louisianadread have you looked into the history of Paradis, LA. Was supposed to be huge with college and large population of homes. Flood spoiled the plans.

jean lafitte/lafitte next?

Born and raised here in Galliano and just turned 75. Still right here on LA 308 a quarter mile of that pontoon bridge you see here. Galliano… home.

My city and my alumnus 🫶🏾

When Trump wins I'm coming to tour the bayou and go to Mardi gras and be a crazy with glee 🎉

Siouxsie and the Banshees wrote a song about this!

That was awesome

I like this channel me.

And that is why tractor trailers now have Mansfield Bars on the lower rear of the trailer, to prevent cars from going under.

Mais gardez donc

That Jindal remark was so smooth 😂😂

I prepared for the future hurricanes that will hit Louisiana by moving to the mountains of East Tennessee. I did this almost 40 years ago, and have never looked back.

I grew up here. My dad was a child when that double hanging happened. He said it was like a festival. Or maybe a tailgate party today. Thousands gathered outside the jail. People were selling food and souvenirs. People were picnicking. Everyone was having fun. The inmates were able to be seen at the top cupola before they were dropped to their deaths at the end of those ropes. It sounds like a totally morbid and disturbing day.

We call it the end of the world when I used to work offshore

Pretty great historical review but Freedmen *did exist, and own slaves, elsewhere as well, although I'll agree inter-racial mixture was probably more common in Louisiana than anywhere else.

Demand for specialty stationary dried up. That's what the papermill made. Acoustic panels used to be made out of the bagasse, and glue factory next door. The glue factory is now a specialty chemical company, mostly for toll manufacturing and drying of chemicals for major companies.

I somehow missed this town on my drive with other Coast Guard disaster responders down to Venice, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina. But I did get to see the horse in the tree. Ya had to have been there to know what that was.

I drove the Causeway twice a day for eight years commuting from Mandeville to New Orleans. I would often see people buying a “Causeway” can of beer (16 oz.) to hold them over until they got home . I preferred an extra large coffee 😀.

I live in larose any history there?

Make sure you do the speed limit and come to a complete stop at stop signs 🤣

Grew up in that are

It's pronounced 'san jermann'

Oh boy a local history channel hek yea

Passed by Mommie Joe’s restaurant lol. Cheramie from DTB here. I still live in cutoff.

I enjoy your videos! Also I saw you at Rouses today ✌️

Never heard it referred to as the heart of DTB and I’ve been living in Houma for about 8 years now. Learn something new every day! But I imagine it’s the heart because without it you’d die if you live down in GI or GM

From a newspaper article in 2011: "Following a dive in April [2011], Gelé and a team of private, underwater archeologists he hired brought up artifacts from the site, including four roofing tiles made in Marseilles, France, sometime between the 1800s and the turn of the century. Another artifact he found was a curved clay pottery piece or possibly a sewer tile, Gelé said." Hardly evidence of an "ancient civilization." And why did the granite have to come from down the Mississippi? Why couldn't it have been brought from Europe and across the Atlantic, as, for example ship's ballast?

Use to sit up on da crossin all the time as a jit
