Tony,
I lived the first 33 years of my life in Algiers (Orleans Parish) across the river from downtown New Orleans. A couple of times when I visited from Colorado, I stayed with my brother-in-law around Covinton La.
He did wallpaper and I helped him while there. We drove across the "Causeway" every day to and from New Orleans to hang paper. I always heard it was just about 25 miles across. My Grandpa and I when a young man caught 175-200 Croker fish near the Causeway bridge on a couple of fishing trips.
Man! you're as bad as Bill with the memory torching. Ha ha!
