I used to have so much fun escorting people to seats in death valley when I was a boy scout in the 80's.

For this they let us watch the games for free.

Do the boy scouts still do this?

It's been awhile since I've lived there but I don't think there's a prison around there anywhere. The town itself isn't much bigger than the apt complex I live in now. There's a blinking yellow light at Hwy 12 & FM 109, the Silver Dollar Video Poker Casino, 2 7-11 type stores, 1 school that's K-12, and 7 or 8 churches. If there is a Prison around there, it's not right in town.

Cheers :wave:

I did that, too! Troop 115! We usually worked the south end zone...upper deck.

Last time I went to a game at Death Valley (1998), they still had Scouts ushering.

They dont have them in the student section (yikes) but when i went to a game my sr year in hs (2001), they had the scouts escorting.

Just ordered my season tickets for this year's game a few weeks ago... I've got a countdown going on my AIM buddy profile! :sohappy:

As a kid, I moved to New Orleans from Philly, and I remember discovering foods like grits, boiled crawfish, red beans & rice, and fried catfish. And I missed Philly Steak sandwiches and hoogies, but soon discovered Submarines, Muffalettas (sp?)and Po Boys to replace them.

I love rice dishes (except for rice pudding), so I am in heaven with some good dirty rice, or gumbo, shrimp creole, etc.

When I started school here, the cafetaria served a side dish with shredded carrotts, raisins, and pineapple. I had never seen this dish before, but it tasted delicious, and I have loved this combination ever since.

As a kid in Philly, I remember venders selling hugh soft pretzels (the saltier the better and it has to have mustard) Lemon Ice was what I remember buying, to cool off in the summer.

I haven't had a snowcone yet this summer...have to track down a stand somewhere. But Brocato's is the place where I treat myself when I am in the mood for some good ice cream. Yummm.

My mom (who was born in Germany) used to make a dessert that tasted like hard Beignets. By that I mean not "airy" like beignets. Mom said they were called Krustels. I am sure the spelling is wrong. The dough was flour mixed with lots of eggs and some water...rolled out to about 1/4 inch thickness and then cut into pieces about 5 inches by 2 inches. Then you made a slit in the middle of each section and pulled one end through the center slit, creating a bow-tie shape. These were then deep fried in oil and removed when golden brown, and set aside to cool. Then they were dusted with powdered sugar, and ready to eat.

Sorry, I don't follow much in the way of sports, except that I do watch the Saints games.

I live now in the French Quarter and I get a kick seeing the walking tours standing in front of Lenny Kravitz's house in the 600 block of Dauphine Street. They would never guess that behind the old, shabby looking shutter doors, there is grand renovation in progress. You ought to see the $40,000.00 crystal chandelier hanging in the living room...wow.

Yeah, living here is interesting...where else can you hear a band, and see a parade marching up the the street, and throwing beads, even when it isn't even Mardi Gras....Just because they feel like it.
