When a toyota was $2000.00 brand new, and a chevy truck was $4000.00, loaded.
If you go back even farther my grandmother, deceased now, had told me about Jefferson st when it was a gravel rd and they used to take a horse to go downtown, it took all day for the round trip from milton.
She told me about the big old oak tree by one of the old courthouses downtown where they used to hang people sentenced to death.
There was also a vermilion river ferry that would pick up people and bring them to Chenier Au Tigre in Vermilion Parish for a day on the beach, got some cool old black and white pictures my grandmother and her friends out there
These were just things that came into quick memory
