Yum yum yum, that sloppy roast beef pic is true food porn. Love the memorabilia, too. Ah, nostalgia…many years ago I lived right down the street from the original Parkway Bakery. I’m gonna have to get off my usual home-to-work-to-home beaten path for a side trip to the new Parkway Bakery, get me a coupla them poboys and peruse the walls.

I missed this before you tweeted about Brad’s comment, but The King also played Da Beach early on in his career, during the “Louisiana Hayride” days. It disturbs me that I know/remember that tidbit.

Nothing connecting Elvis and New Orleans??? What about King Creole? My neighbor when I was a kid used to tell stories about how her mother worked on the production and got to have an audience with the King.

I remember the Stones at the dome. It was indeed George Thorogood and also The Neville Bros who opened up.
