We all have a place, or maybe a handful of places that are our ‘happy place’.. For me, it’d be hard to narrow it down to one, but , in no particular order, it’s:
- The Superdome.. my earliest memories are going to the Ringling Bros circus at 3 or 4 years old there, and Saints games w/Archie Manning, Jazz games w/Pistol Pete around the same time.. also as mentioned in another thread, i worked there as an usher in college.. i know I’ve entered those hallowed gates over 100 times, but would be impossible to put an accurate number on it.. my last time there, watched LSU win a national title a few months ago.
- Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shoppe.. too many great times in America’s Oldest Bar[tm] to list.. just a special place for me.
- Siesta Key Beach, Sarasota, FL- listed many times as the Best Beach in America, it’s a just a beautiful place with amazing sunsets.. and has something special that i cant define, but that , for me, puts in ahead of places like Destin or even Hawaii.. hoping to get back once the virus eases up in Florida.
- Tiger Stadium.. and the LSU campus in general.. just representative of some fond memories over the years.
ETA: editing my original post to include The Road... get me on a road trip anywhere, with satellite radio and comfortable seats (and preferably my dog) and I’m a pretty happy guy... Except for that stretch of I10 between Houston and BR/NOLA.. screw that ride.
