Godchaux's on Florida Blvd. It was the longest department store in the world. I remember the Santa Claus they used to put on the building every year at Christmas. It's where FEMA is now.

Goudchaux's. Godchaux's was in NOLA. Folks used to get testy when people confused the two.

The irony is that Goudchaux's eventually acquired Godchaux's.

Does anyone know the story behind the hill on sherwood forest blvd between fla blvd and old hammond hwy
When I was a kid, we used to tell each other that someone buried their car there. I have no idea if that is the truth or not.
Is the hill still around? I've casually looked for it as an adult, but I admittedly wasn't looking too hard.
