neighborhood surrounding Redemptorist

Grew up in that area in the 70s and early 80s one street over from Sid. Back yard backed up to Redemptorist Junior High office. Very middle class, blue collar people all around. Used to be a safe neighborhood that we were never afraid to walk or ride our bikes after dark.

Can it be turned around? As was said above, it’s all on the residents of the area to take it back. I’m afraid it’s past that point but if anyone can have an impact, it’s Sid. Would love to see it make a comeback. :cheers:

Lived in Laf in the early-mid 90’s. Best time for me to get workouts in was early morning, 4:00am. Red was always the one to open the club in the morning. Typically rode his bicycle there. Always treated you like you were the only person in the club at that time. He will be sorely missed.

Friend of mine’s wife was literally drinking herself to death. Multiple health issues, some potentially terminal. She’s been sober over 9 years now. It wasn’t only the best move she could make, it was the only one.

They may hold air but after a few times up to highway speed, I'm sure they would begin coming apart.

re: Baton Rouge people - how cold was it when Exxon exploded in 1989?

I was snapping a photo of my mother and father (an Exxon retiree) in front of the Christmas tree the instant the explosion occurred. The first words from my Dad's mouth were "That was Exxon."

Similar situation but was my FIL. They lived off Sherwood Forest and it shook the hell out of the house. The second it happened, he said the same thing - "That was Exxon. He was a construction supervisor with Exxon. His "office" was a worksite trailer wherever the particular job was going on. Blew it some 100 or so yards from it's original site. The kicker was the next day, I was repairing busted pipes under my Mom and Dad's house, which was right by Redemptorist High School. Neighbors there said they literally thought we were under attack.
