"The Bo You Don't Know"

Could you be thinking of the Stuckey's on Hwy 190 about 40 miles from Baton Rouge

 

I don't think so, I think the one I'm thinking of is gone, but hell maybe.

 

I don't recall a Stuckey's but I can point out the little hall my mom and dad had their wedding reception in. It was the biggest place around in '65. They always got a little too close then. Stuckey's may have been across the street.

 

So is the one on 190. I don't think there are too many Stuckey's around anymore. Last one I remember was one in Mississippi somewhere about 15 years ago. There was a young guy in there with his girlfriend. She was helping him pick out a Calvin sticker for his truck.

 

This was in the mid 80's.

 

The one on 190 is long since closed. Remember stopping there as a kid. Fact, my old man still has a Stuckey's mug somewhere. Last time I passed they were selling outdoor wood furniture in front. I also remember a pair opposite each other on a highway somewhere maybe on way to Houston. Road memories...

 

There were Stuckeys on both sides of I 10 between Beaumont and Houston. Stopped there on way to see Astros in the Astrodome.

 

Only one of those still there now,, well, about a year ago.

 

I knew what happened, but never really knew the back story. Highly recommend watching it, even if you do know.
