I believe the first time i heard it was from my aunt who worked at the very first Popeye’s location on the westbank in the early 1970s.. i think it was in Arabi (?).. so like a lot of things , you hear it as a kid then you grow up and question if it’s actually true.. thanks for clarifying .

I’m pretty sure the very 1st popey’s was in arabi.

Apparently the dog was in a kennel.

I suspect the cat of foul play.

We have all been caught slipping.

I have been waiting in line (this morning) for a Dong Phung king cake. Talking to the person next to me they asked what school I went to, so I told them Tulane.

Rookie mistake.

What is the first film that you think of when y’all think of Hackman ? For me it’s probably Superman, then Unforgiven, then No Way Out, then Runaway Jury with Hoffman, then The Firm .

Difficult question as he is in so many great films.

I guess The French Connection always comes up first in my mind since it's the first film I remember seeing with him in it. Followed closely by The Conversation, Hoosiers, Superman, Unforgiven, and The Bird Cage. Lots of others, too, but Popeye Doyle is the first thing I think of.

RIP to an American icon.

Arabi is on the East Bank, just before Chalmette going South....I worked near there in college (barge company on the canal).....

R.I.P. Lex Luthor. Do you think he just died of a bad fall to the head and upset what happened the wife drugged herself to death ?
