Changes,,,,,
last week did 60 miles Saturday and 40 miles Sunday, no sweat.... Had to work yesterday, so I only got in 35 today. What a piece of cake.
Passed through the old neighborhood as I do
occasionally but it was different than before, yes the streets were deserted and there's still
garbage about and nobody's home , in the back of my mind was the news I heard recently, that the new Medical Complex will be in the square of
Claiborne to Galvez and Tulane to Canal.
There goes the neighborhood.
I don't know what's to happen to Mc Donough #11 Grade School. I've attached some pictures of the school and the kindergarten Cottage. The Magnolia tree that covered me through many
marble games is leafless and lifeless. I wonder how many street corners still have the inlaid
names like Palmyra and Johnson. In the 50's and 60's many, many kids lived in this small area.
I attached a picture of the Telephone cable that we played cable ball on many times, I was a master at cable ball. It seemed higher at the time or maybe I was smaller, imagine that.
Life goes on, Montelepre Hospital is mud hole, street cars are back, Warren Easton is rebuilding
and I'm sure more and more changes are forthcoming.
I'll be there to keep you posted.
Good ride today, felt good, good speed, 6 weeks left to race time.
later
gary
