I used to drive there everyday taking the back way (Almonaster Ave) from my 9th ward house to the Michoud Facility. It always struck me as odd the houses in that area, it's a very industrial area. I always wondered who lived there and what their lives were like before the bridge went up. Now I know, and want to thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16914335.post-1146984011874581372006-05-07T02:40:00.000-04:002006-05-07T02:40:00.000-04:00I was just down there, right there, near McKain St...I was just down there, right there, near McKain St, looking for my youth somewhere between Almonaster and Old Gentilly.
