WOW! I found this shot for a background. It's the Pierre Part bay taken from the bridge!! The Rainbow Inn is at one foot of the bridge. I tended bar there quite a few years. |

There asre roads on both sides of the bay and both dead end after a ways. But the bay continues til it meets up with the Lake. We used to come up here to Lakeview Inn? for gas in the boat. Is that the name of it? |

Ahh...the Rainbow! What memories this place holds. I can recall being a little girl and eating at the restaurant side. One side was a diner and the other side was a bar, with a kinda hall in the back for crowds. It was famous fo them big ole hamburgers, I bet, cuz I remember em! I never realized that I would one day work there, or become so close to the owners, but I fell in love with those two! When they shut down to spend time with family, they usually invited me along...think it was just to be their bartender? Gosh, I hope not...LOL...even if it was, I'm glad for the memories.

Here's the front door of Chilly's...that's the bar out over the Lake. But it wasn't always Chilly's. My first Memories of it was as Edd Lee's Bar and Restaurant. We got off the bus here, cuz the bus couldn't go the extra half a mile or so to the dead end. Paw later made a turn around spot.
Let's see if I memory works at all...I believe that the main cook was Mrs Odete. Was she a Landry, I don't recall. But even my grandparents still mention a dish or two of hers. We were little in this bar, but those were different times. It was a family place. We learned to shoot pool before we could see over the pool table. I remember these little jukebox selectors on the tables in the restaurant...member them 45's?? Mom used to get to keep the used ones when the jukebox man changed em. Remember "I Can Help".? Gosh, that was is so embedded into my brain that it will never go away, and its ok. |

When I am ever asked what type of music I like, I find it very hard to answer. Not sure what the average person would call it...LOL. Don't get me wrong, I love Cajun music! I love country music...I love lots of old rock n roll, bluegrass, some pop...Lotsa music. But my choice above all, we simply called "Red Ass" music. Think of Freddy Fender and Otis Redding and Billy Joe Royal and Conway and George Jones and Hank...
It's the cry in your beer kinda music...the feel the pain kinda music...it refreshes the soul! Leaves you feeling GOOOOOD! LOL |
