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. ‘’
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.
I was born in Louisiana... In 1962. (Marksville) I left in 1988. The biggest tragedy to the Louisiana culture was the influx of Rednecks in the 80's. It was an element that destroyed part of a beautiful place. These videos make me home sick.

Slaves used to throw acorns in the graves of their “master” so their soul would be trapped in the roots of the oak tree
