This Property is Condemned

[Skeezixx]

Too bad you lost that Laughlin book. Had you and I known each other in the late 70s and early 80s I could have introduced you to the author. Old by then, he was a friend of mine and a movie buff. We used to meet at the Prytania or Sena Mall Theater about once a week.

I think "Ghosts Along The Mississippi" is still in print. Sadly though, most of it's subjects he captured images of in the 40s have vanished forever.

Anytime my friend Geoff and I do a shakedown after repairs or feel the itch to drive our A's and need a destination we head up the River Road to Destrehan where we have become friendly with the staff. Next time I am there I'm going to ask if I might take a pic of my Roadster parked in the driveway.

It has occurred to me that with all those live oaks it might be a nice spot for a Model A Club picnic too..............Period garb of course!
