My hometown❤

I’m from plaquemine

Kyle, great video. Is the naming of Gretna, Louisiana associated with the town Gretna and Gretna Green in Scotland?

Its also a dangerous city. I live over in Addis

Hey I stay right around the corner from there pretty cool

A+

It has a paper mill now and it makes the place stink

Great story Kyle. I lived in Algiers Point in the 1970s and 1980s. You have a great presentation style. Consider a video in the future about Algiers Point itself?

You should know, Grammere was from Terrebonne Parish and knew how to cook a Gumbo!

The country 😂😂😂

That's my town where I'm from born and raised, this is odd for me

In plaq rn

.30 an hr in 1930 was pretty good money, the minimum wage was .30 an hr 9 years later. Keep in mind that was in the depression.

7.9... but no rue...? Hmmm 🤔

It's YOU

Eat at Fat Daddy's !!

I live in new orleans i want to visit!

I like your personalized historiography my Brother!

My Grandmother used to tell us about the "1915 Storm", as she called it. They lived in Bataria, just across the intercoastal canal, from Lafitte. She said water came up in the first floor and they moved up to second story. Then water came up to 2and floor and they went to the attic, all but 1 person. He was asian, she called him the China man. He had tied himself to part of the house and could not get free, before the roof collapsed on him. They floated for 3 days before tying off to a Bush, which wound up being the top of a tree, in Myrtle Grove miles away from Barataria. They were a different breed of people, back then. Many years later, when I was a young boy, in the 1970's, my Grandmother half blind with cataracts, her sitting outside enjoying the summer, or whatever time of year it happened to be, she would say, there's a squall coming. I would look up to see a clear sky all around, with not a hint of a cloud, but she would repeat, a squall is coming. Every time she did that, within an hour or so, we would have a rainstorm, or thunderstorm come thru. She never listened to the news, or weather reports. She had spent all her life in Barataria. They hunted and trapped for a living and for survival. She had a sixth sense. I miss her dearly.

I actually live here the weather is so bipolar 😭

My family in Louisiana was there before it was a state. They started in Washington Parish and eventually ended up in St. Tammany Parish. A lot of those folks are in a family Cemetery in Stateline. I need to go visit these places soon

Cheesey's in Plaquemine is an amazing cheesesteak spot if anyone has never eaten there

I’m from plaqumine

my city 😂

P town yaherrme

Could the granite be from the Grand Canyon?

Beautiful place! Not

Plaquemine is my hometown. There was a foundry, machine shop, and fabrication shop right next to the locks, named Nadler Incorporated. It opened in 1888 and closed in 2000. They made most of the parts for all the sugarmills. Both of my grandfathers worked there their whole life. I worked there for the last 3 years of operation.

Hey man great timing for this and what just happened with their 25 year old mayor lol

225 is out here fr. Thank you for educating others the history of my hometown 😊❤

It's always been a class war, y'all! It still is! Time to wake up! Anybody trying to argue over culture war bs should be ignored and dismissed! They're just trying to take your attention away from the economic war on all of us!

Not a fan of unions in 2025. Btw - Bogalusa today is a rough town with lots of stupid gang violence.

Can you please do St.Martinville Louisiana and a little town called catahoula

plaq nasty

stop mislabeling us as fucking Africans... Most of those so called slaves were Indians who were prisoners of war...

City

Wonder story, Love hearing about our Louisiana history, im in bogalusa ❤

my man

I live right next to there

Seeing our whole West Bank of St. James would’ve been nice

Watching this in my hometown of Plaquemine. I was born and raised here.

can you do a video about Laurel Valley?

I FISH IN BAYOU PLAQUEMINE

The Great Southern Lumber Company was started by the Goodyear Family out of Buffalo, New York. They sent timber buyers down here to purchase as much Long Leaf Pine Timber as they could. Once this was accomplished, they estimated that they could mill 24 hours a day for 26 years before they ran out. They ran out of that wood in just about that time frame and then started some cypress and Mahogany. GSLC milled over a million boards feet per day of the finest virgin growth Long Leaf you have ever laid eyes upon. I'm talking 35 plus growth rings an inch. They shipped it up ever river on Earth! They didn't leave one Long Leaf pine stand for us to get an understanding of just how massive these trees were.

Great info! Im in p town now!
