TGIF...See you on the Bvld.

OH! How I could not wait until Friday and Saturday nights to go cruising Gause Bvld!

I always wondered....When did the teenagers stop cruising Gause? Then it dawned on me when I came across this picture of the gas prices our senior year. (Only I would have taken a picture of the gas prices.) I am not sure you can see the price of regular unleaded....click to enlarge. It was .85 a gallon. We could have cruised Friday and Saturday night for about $2.00. Kids can not afford to cruise at $2.65 a gallon.

We did not even care what we cruised in or at least I did not care. One night Beth Pichon and I wanted to go cruising so bad, we had her neighbor take us in this funky car. The girl wanted to go through the car wash prior to making our first round on Gause. Beth and I could not wait, but what were we to do..right? Well, the girl did not have her door closed all the way and the water from the drive thru car wash came squirting in all over us! We could not go home and change because we were suppose to be at the movies. That was our freshman year...we did not have our license yet. However, once we got the DL, we did not care what we drove. Remember Shawnna Ryder's mother's black and yellow Duster?

The bottom picture is at McDonalds of Matt Miller, Cyrus, Rob McDowell ( his back) and Sean Burkes (guy next to Cyrus). The girl standing was Dianne (married last name Dickie... forgot maiden) from Slidell High. If I remember correctly, Northshore and Slidell use to hang out together then. I'm not sure it happens like that anymore?????

Excuse the fuzzy pictures...I'll edit them soon.
