Oh yeah, I know exactly the on-ramps and section of I-10 of which you speak. That was also the elevated section of highway all those people got stranded on after hurricane Katrina.
And Metairie, I’ve lived in both Fat City and Metairie Ridge. In the city I lived in By-Water when I was stationed at NSA on Dauphin St. L’Enfants became a spot popular with Hispanics when I was there pre-Katrina. A Navy musician friend of mine played in one of the live bands that appeared regularly. She was not Hispanic but they needed her trumpet skills. I would go and hang out with her. Pre-Katrina it was a nice club. I have no idea if it’s even open anymore. Our NOLA of the old days no longer exists. I miss the area terribly, so many memories.

Okay, now the world IS shrinking. My dad was the commanding officer at the NSA on Dauphine St back in ‘68-’70. One of the 4 ships I was on when I was in the Navy was the USS Hyman across the river in Algiers. Help, the world is shrinking............... LOL!
