I was born in Bridge City and went to school in Westwego. I moved away 32 years ago when I was 13. I've only been able to go back twice since I moved away. I've had so many dreams about being on this road. Thank you so much for this video. 💗
Thanks for a great trip down there! I have a friend who just purchased a house next to Audubon Park so I will be heading to New Orleans soon hopefully.
I attended OLPS and would stare out the window watching those old MoPac GP7's and Southern Pacific MP-15's gathering tank cars and delivering bagasse to Celotex. SP had Wigwag grade crossing signals back then before they tore up their line. Another lifetime in a faraway place now.
Extraordinary! The main route west of the Mississippi (especially until the West Bank Expressway), tons of commercial and industrial development, and still only 2 lanes and a max of 35 mph! And not much local government, it seems, with all these unincorporated communities. A very different drive here and in #519. Good to see.

River Road brings so many memories, I actually used it yesterday to get to Audubon. Cool drive!

My friend thought I made up this town up when I mentioned stayed here during my birthday weekend. Thank goodness for Google map.
Yay , a train around 7.40.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the old Plantation that once stood @ River Road and Bridge City Ave.
