Running into Elouise on North Avenue in Atlanta circa 1984

Mister Richardson was taking his BFF Nelson Sullivan around Atlanta on a video expedition when Nelson videotaped this spontaneous meeting with Elouise "Champagne" Montague Mellencamp on North Avenue, near where Freedom Park would be. Video by Nelson Sullivan

I can’t imagine what mr. Richards must have felt like going through his childhood friend’s old footage and uploading it. 31 years had passed from the time this footage was filmed to when the video was uploaded, and about 26 from when Nelson passed, and in the description it still titles Nelson as Dick’s BFF. I would like to imagine it was Dick himself who was uploading everything and giving it descriptions, but I can’t know for sure. Out of every personality to have been featured in this video, Nelson and Dick are the two people I would have most loved to be around. Hope they’re taking good care of each other in the afterlife.

Fun Video. I just can't help but asking what ever happened to Elouise? I hope she is okay....

She lives in Miami. She's fine and she is still hilarious,

[@aviratica6370]

In fact I just sent her this video.

@@aviratica6370 is this the Elouise that painted Nelson's portrait in his room? Or if that painting has ended up in a public art gallery?
