Thanks for some really interesting historical information not found anywhere else. You should consider a feature on the Brick Industry of Southeastern Louisiana. And the Mad Stone of Vacherie Great job!
@@LouisianaDread will do thanks. Heard about it all my life but I actually got to see the Mad Stone work on my Father-in-law’s infected hand back in the 1970s. Weirdest thing I ever say. It really did work.
there was an old train that went through Lacombe.. the St Tammany trace, from Slidell, to Lacombe, to Mandeville, was the tracks growing up in Lacombe, when the actual rails were still there, it was a great place herping..for snakes there are legends, by the previous generation, like my mom, of a creature with fur and big teeth, that roamed around that area... many people saw it, a lot of people thought the fur was spanish moss, until the creature jumped to the ground, and went after them
just after Katrina, i mean weeks, i drove down Hwy 90, across the Rigolets bridge, which my GF was terrified, but if i was able, with injuries, to push my car, the bridge with heavy construction vehicles could hold it, i went a mile down, and the whole road was gone.. there was a hole that could have swallowed my car..i got about 2 miles from the Jayne Mansfield memorial, before i had to turn around, because the road, the asphalt, was gone, and there were just holes
Enjoyed this,as a former Slidellian
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I used to work in slidell before moving. Neat little town and love what/s out there.
It’s a neat place to explore
I'm from from Pa. and lived in Slidell for 8 years. I loved it there.
Good to hear!🤘
Love the video man!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ayheee! Mon Ami! Love it 😍
🤘🏼⚜️🤘🏼
I had one of the best ribeyes I’ve ever had in Slidell. Ribeye and a Macallan (or 4 actually).
😂 anything will taste great after 4 of those

yeah, that creosote, made the the area a superfund site, now, there is a park along the water way
It’s insane
There’s one in madisonville too
I used to live in those blue apartments right across the tracks from the creosote site then moved to palm lake down the end of front street
5:38 you forgot to mention that that tsunami destroyed the twinspan actually lifted up the beige sections and drug them hundreds of feet away

So wild!

Damn that’s crazy!
i always wondered why salmon high is not pronounced like salmon the fish.. those St Joe bricks have their own superstitions , like they can't burn
Those bricks are so durable
on military road, after Katrina, for weeks there were coffins along the road driving to hwy 90, i saw them, and had to dodge them
It was intense during that time!
I just knew the guy they named it after was gonna be a pos 😅
😂😂😂😂 right you are!
