was going to cut right through the city. Many neighborhoods were severed, including The Hill,
Epiphany Parish and the Lafayette neighborhood. More about that later.
When Jim Puckett worked for the Associated Press, his apartment was in Maplewood. If anyone ever anyone mentioned the Fyler Bridge, he would not believe it even existed. True, the viaduct was still there, but I-44 replaced every remnant of the old bridge.
It also took over where Kathy Belgeri lived on Smiley. One side of the street was paved over
but the houses on the other side were still standing. On Lafayette, my Grandma's house was
demolished but the houses on the other side of the street are still standing.
I cannot even begin to explore this subject in one night, but I will give every aspect its full
description in the future.
