Hello Bayou cousins.
My paw paw one of those from these roots of long ago.
I think Airline Motors has re-open . I know they re-done the whole building some yrs ago. I have eaten there with my Grandparents in the 1970’s . My Grandfather would tell me stories about back in the day. He was born in 1901. He told told me the only way to get to Grand Isle was by Boat until the 1930’s . My Grandfather and His Brother own a Camp in Grand Isle. They were Bootleggers back then , They would take there Boat in the Gulf of Mexico and meet up with the Jamaican and Cuban rum boats and buy booze from them , And would bring it by boat to the New Orleans area and sell it. Sadly I never did meet his Brother , He was Killed in WW2. But our family had own that Camp until the 1990’s. ‘’
Very interesting, Bo! Thanks for sharing!
The future is always better then the past let the past go those days was not good days
Slaves used to throw acorns in the graves of their “master” so their soul would be trapped in the roots of the oak tree
I wish the sounds had been a little better, but I love hearing about what things were like back then. It was back when people were upstanding decent human beings and people were really good hard workers. I miss it.
Does anyone know where the city hall building where the narrator is sitting is located?
Ration-what a lost word this is.
Now look at us, phones, no manners, even more racism and hate than ever tought.
