What a Saints game on 11DEC! I flew my Dad over to San Antonio, from Washington Parish, then we drove up to Dallas for the game. It seemed that we had at least 10,000 Saints fans there! The Cowboy fans around us couldn't believe the "Deuce" and "Reggie" cheers they were hearing. I'll never forget how loud our "Defense" cheers were on their 3rd downs. We took over the stadium, and the game!

Hi Bogalusa!!! I am a 22 year old born and raised in bogalusa. I love this town but see it slowly becoming a "black hole." This town has so much potential but yet it is wasted on corruption of both city workers, law enforcement, and political "LEADERS." Just like every other small rual town it is hard to bring in big business were there is no growth or development. The educational system is a joke, when school leaders cant seem to come to agree on anything how do you expect student to respect authority. There is no more punishment for the crime. Things are brushed off and thought of as out of sight out of mind. Well its time to wake up Bogalusa. If you would like your children raised in a place that is going down the drain then continue to do nothing, but if you would like a change GET INVOLVED: clean your street, take pride in your home, get involved with your children because teachers can only do so much. I am sad to say that the once beautiful holmes down AVE B have almost all been neglected and just a disgrace to the community. It's time that politicians stop playing golf, stop talking about what "your going to do" and start doing it. Who cares if you step on some toes, sometimes things just have to be changed and i personally along with many others think it's about time!!!!! Another thing I remember being a little girl and shopping on columbia st. at J.C.Penny's. Now this once historic, thriving downtown has been corrupted by crime, lack of care, and many buildings have been abandoned. Now riddle me this, if I am 22 years old and can remember when Bogalusa WAS something then think about the way your childeren will remember this town. Let's give our children the opportunities that all other children have lets not hold them back, they may be the hope for this community. The sad thing is I can spill my guts out about what I think should be changed, but you know changing the enviroment will not change the people. Some people in this town are the sweetest people you will every meet but there are some with a chip on there shoulder and some that just have no respect for you are anyone else. Well it's up to you Bogalusa. What will YOU do???????

I was an announcer at WIKC in 1962. Does anyone have any info on the followin... -Ron Hunter (Bill Seiglin) -anyone who worked at the station during the elections of '62 -Kurt Seiglin -Cooter Branch (deceased I think) -Linda Tannahill (sp.)

I really enjoyed working in "Big B". I was there during some mighty interesting times. I remember sitting in the red bird cafe several evenings and watching the Klan burn a cross across the way. I remember covering a wreck one time with Ron. It was a bad one, several teenagers (if I remember correctly were killed). I sure remember Sun, La. I left money with their law enforcement several times. Once cost me $25.00 for going "two miles an hour above the posted speed limit". They had a radar gun at the time. I remember doing a remote broadcast from the Pink Cork Package Liq. Store. They found out I was from "dry" (at the time) Mississippi and I think the whole town came by to welcome me. I remember the running joke at time...Why are there no cats in Bogalusa? the answer was...because they all died trying to cover up Crown-Zellerbach. I was only there for a short while, but I really did enjoy the city and it's people while I was.

hi fellow Bogalusa residents, new and old alike. I have lived here for two years now and I plan to stay for the rest of my life. But I must say many days my heart is saddened by the way people who live here have developed a feeling of getting no-where, and hopelessness. I am also shocked at the many comments I have heard about corruption, the unbelieveable "political" powers, the black and white thing, which I find much less a problem here than in many of your urban developed areas of the north, (at least here I can live where I want to if I have money, and up north, it is discouraged!!) and lastly, I am even deeper in disbelief at the way that children are ignored in this community. Now don't get me wrong, equally I have found the same number of people who have enbraced our children with kindness and respect, but they too are discouraged by the conditions and state of our children. There are people here that feel the same way I do and won't say anything cause it rocks the boat, so to speak. But, Bogalusa it is time to come to an understanding....This town has gone thru many challenges, as history has shown, way back to 1906 and even before. This community has much to offer, but we are not working together! There are those who are trying to overcome for the good of theirselves, not the whole. Think about this, what if all old ugly vacant homes were torn down and there was green space or lots to build better homes for people. What if the homes which date back to the 1900's were put on the historical register and the relics of old days was turned into museums? What if people wanted to come from all around the world, just to spend their money here to see the movements of history which has been recorded? Our native American Indians, the Lumber, the Civil Rights Movements, the rail system, our waterways, I could go on ......Wouldn't it be wonderful to have clean parks for the children, places of education they could be proud of instead of the oldest schools I have ever seen in all my adult life!!!! I saw better looking schools in Belize Mexico, a third world area than what they have here!! What happen to grants and why do areas around us have better schools when we have one of the largest mills in the world sitting right-smak-dap in the middle of town making millions of dollars!!!! If we have to endure smelling that thing, and they continue making all that money off of us, why can't they help to fund a grant writer and get our children decent schools!!!?! Well, I see potential, but I guess you don't or maybe it's just worked better this way for all these years?....NOT....I do hope that your drive to bring business works because it is needed. Remember, in order for people in other places to want to come here, they will want to SEE a cleaner more positive community, they will bring their families to schools which are where....in rank?, they will want their children to play where?, get BUSY Bogalusa and think about the real potential we have here. We could all be much better off, much happier, and certainly could treat our children with a LOT more respect!!! If we don't value them, the future of Bogalusa will only go down hill and no one from the rest of the world will want to come and join this stagnation. Please think about it HUH?

I Sincerely hope you are all well on to your way to getting beyond Katrina. We drove over within two weeks of the storm and I was so shocked at the needs of all. We made two trips to help people in Crossroads where my step grandfather Dalton Stewart lived in Varnado where my grandmother Sadie Boone Stillwell Stewart lived. My father is Devon Stillwell and my mother is Cynthia Strader Stillwell. I pray that you  all in the recovery mode now. We will return soon to work on cemetery clean up in Varnado and Crossroads. Our best to your city my hometown.

I am very proud that I was born and raised in Bogalusa. My parents, Larry and Sylvia Davis provided me with a wonderful childhood. We lived down a dirt road on several pined areas. My friends and I picked blackberries and swam in the Bogalusa Creek all summer. Played sports and hung out at the Y. It was a wonderful childhood! Currently live in Austin TX. I'll always have very fond memories of Bogalusa.

hey yall. my name is Crystal Gill and im from bogalusa, Louisiana. I' am finally 16 and my first road trip will be to Bogalusa. My mom is Lynn Gill and my dad is Bennie Thigpen. I was pretty much raised in Bogalusa up until I think I was about 10 or 11. I miss it so much there. Georgia is completely different from Louisiana. when the hurricane came through, I think it effected me as if I was there. I thought my family was going to die and I thought all the friends that I still remembered from my childhood and all those that remember me will be swept away. but everyone is safe and I'am so glad!! I cant wait to be back there on the fourth of July.. I need a po'boy really bad because these pal up here in GA have NO IDEA what a po'boy is. goodness they're so crazy! ill see all yall on the fourth at the mill for those fireworks.. love all yall.. bye!!

As a former resident of Bogalusa, I would love to stay abreast of the city council's activity post-hurricane.

It would be really great to see the City Council post the minutes of their meetings on this site so that people that may be interested in the area can see how business is handled.

This is especially important following Hurricane Katrina.

C'mon council, do the right thing!

Hey there, Bogalusa!! I was just trying to find a site for L & C and came across this. I seen where the lady wanted info on bogalusa and wanted to know more about housing and employment, well, it is hard enough for residents to get jobs, much less anyone else. Check out the unemployment rate. Cleaner air?? Lets see, we had a horrible chemical explosion about 10 yrs. ago. We have a paper mill just like in west monroe.....so you know the air is not that clean. In fact, it is worse in bogalusa than there. Smells like pure sewage. But it is home to me and I guess it always will be. Jobs are scarce, but drugs flow freely here, near about every corner. My great grandma is in columbia, and I visit there often. I know bogalusa is worse than west monroe. Our biggest store to shop at is a baby wal mart. Good luck with your search though. Try covington or maybe hammond. you can email me at christylynn72085@yahoo.com or maybe brown659@bellsouth.net. Would love to hear back! 985-294-6987

Hi - great site! I am from Bogalusa originally and now live and work in West Baton Rouge Parish. I was "home" last weekend and attended the Krewe of MCCA parade and visited with my mother and other friends/family still living there. It was the first time I had been home since 2 days after Hurricane Katrina and was a bit overwhelmed by how it all looked 6 months later. Still blue tarps, snapped pine trees, and debris everywhere.........

As I was heading out yesterday afternoon, I became a bit teary-eyed and overwhelmed by the fact that, with everything you guys have been through, the level of enthusiasm among the citizens there was so high at the Krewe of MCCA parade - nasty weather and everything! I left with a good feeling that, even with everything my old hometown of Bogalusa has been through, it is still standing tall........just like the strong, stately pine trees that survived the storm.

Hang in there!
