One of the most scenic byways anywhere. Truly magical. Well worth the extra time to bypass I-10 when going between New Orleans and Gulf Coast Mississippi.

It's a shame the west pearl river bridge has been closed since May of 2022. Bidding to replace the bridge will not even open until 2025...

[@LouisianaDread]

I definitely agree with you my friend.

[@jorgepancho]

@@thecaptainmaster I was unaware of this. Sad to know.

[@alfredferry1131]

​@@thecaptainmaster​, yes, and I find this delay dangerous to people fleeing hurricanes.

I loved visiting Fort Pike near the Rigolets many times. It was like an old friend, Sadly, it's closed and falling into disrepait. THere's also Fort McComb, which was in the first season of HBO's True Detective.

[@LouisianaDread]

Yes indeed!

Also, some of the best Vietnamese food I've ever eaten. And that Dong Phuong's bread!! Not sure if that still holds up... it's been awhile.

[@LouisianaDread]

Oh it’s still absolutely fire!

Great video I stumbled on you when I was reading about Brunet winning his lawsuit in federal court on his obscene flags. I had to read about his win 😊😊from the newspaper of the source. You were there in the Gazette! I will be following you since I am into this type of content and anything Louisiana. Thank you for doing a very professional job!

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you for the compliment my friend! I’m happy you found me, and be sure to tell your friends and family about Louisiana Dread🙌

[@alfredferry1131]

Unfortunately, the West Pearl bridge is out of use and may be out of use for many months.

[@LouisianaDread]

At least it’s still around.

[@KjunHoosier]

Excellent, as always! You are a great storyteller!

[@LouisianaDread]

Much appreciated!

[@jamestregler1584]

Thanks again bro 🐢

[@LouisianaDread]

No problem 👍

[@InterestingOnlyAllowed]

Great video! I naively thought it has to do with food like I imagine many do

[@LouisianaDread]

😂 Many people do the same, so you’re not alone.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Chef = Chief. As boss cook.

[@MJCenac76]

Another amazing video! Thanks man!

[@LouisianaDread]

Thank you my friend!

[@9thGenerationCajun]
