Curiosity Takes the Wheel: Discovering Shreveport's Historic Central Railroad Station

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey If you have ever driven on Interstate 20 through Shreveport, Louisiana, you may have noticed a building just north of the highway that looks very much like an old railroad station. I have literally driven past it over a dozen times and wondered just that. A week ago, my curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to go see if what I was seeing was indeed what I thought it was. (Writing can be hard at times, my friends.)

Majestic Machines in Morning Light: Honoring the Flying Tigers This Memorial Day at England Air Force Base Heritage Park

Image
 Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey This morning, I decided to wake up before the rooster crowed to capture the Memorial Day sunrise over England Air Force Base Heritage Park in Alexandria, Louisiana. The park features many of the jet fighters flown by the pilots of the famed 'Flying Tigers' who were stationed here from the late 1940s until the base closed in 1992. Watching the light gradually illuminate these majestic machines brought to mind the hundreds of service men and women who woke at first light to prepare to fight and die for our country in the skies, on the high seas, and on countless battlefields around the globe.

Remembering Our Heroes: The Brave Journey of U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey

Image
Written By Ken Hulsey On this Memorial Day, I want to take a moment to honor my uncle, U.S. Army Air Corps Lieutenant Erskin Leon Hulsey. He was shot down during a bomber mission over Germany, and his remains were never recovered. According to a letter from the Adjutant General of the United States Army, Leon (as he was known to family) was piloting a B-26 Marauder medium bomber on a raid targeting a German factory complex on December 6, 1944. At approximately 3:30 PM, the plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and crashed near the German town of Düren.

Bunkie: A Tale of Decline and Missed Opportunities in Central Louisiana | A View from the Wrong Side of the Tracks

Image
Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey Like many towns in central Louisiana, Bunkie was once thriving; however, today it is merely a shadow of its former self. Prosperity in Bunkie appears to depend on which side of the Union Pacific Railroad one is on. If you're on the west side, you are still hanging on by a thread; if you are on the east side of the tracks, you find yourself in a literal ghost town. This area is marked by an endless row of failed businesses and abandoned buildings. Unfortunately, the business district is gone and will likely never return.

Unraveling the Web: Why 'Spider-Noir' is the Ultimate Nostalgic Thrill Ride! Written By Ken Hulsey Terri and I have a new show that we are hooked on, and we stumbled upon it quite by accident. I was actually searching on Amazon Prime for a new documentary series for both of us to watch since we had just finished watching two really good ones by Ken Burns, Louis & Clark, and The American Buffalo, and the advertising for Spider-Noir ( Watch now on Prime Video ) was the first thing that popped up. I was waiting on Terri to finish up in the kitchen, so I watched the trailer for the show and immediately became interested.

 Photos and Story By Ken Hulsey This past Saturday, I spent the afternoon exploring the grounds of the Southern Forest Heritage Museum in Long Leaf, Louisiana. The museum is situated on the site of the former Long Leaf Sawmill Complex, which was one of many mill complexes in the region. While the mill itself is fascinating to explore, I chose to focus on the old facilities of the Red River and Gulf Railroad on this gloomy day.

Lost Landmarks: The Heartbreaking Demise of Gibson's in Vernon - My Childhood Memories

Image
Photos and Story by: Ken Hulsey It’s interesting how certain places from our past stick in our memory. Recently, I have been reminiscing about my time in the northern Texas farming town of Vernon from 1974 to 1978. One landmark that stands out in my mind is the Gibson's department store located just off the Highway 287 frontage road. Like many retail and five-and-dime stores of its time (pre-Walmart and Target for you younger folks), Gibson's offered a little bit of everything—clothes, hardware, household goods, and toys.

Image
If you grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico , during the 60s, 70s, or 80s, you likely have fond memories of Toys By Roy. The store was easily recognizable thanks to the large rocking horse logo on its front. In 1961, Roy Ater opened his first Toys By Roy in the brand-new Winrock Center Mall, which was marketed as ‘the largest in the Southwest.’ Ater’s toy store quickly became one of the mall's first and most successful retailers. Over the following years, Toys By Roy expanded into a successful franchise with 34 locations across 9 states.
