OLDTIMER'S BERNICE QUIZ

Ok...If you were around Bernice, LA during the 40's,50's,60's, or maybe longer ago than that...anyway, this is your time to shine.  Dave and Vannie have been parked behind the Bernice Clubhouse for a month.  They have been busy with Christmas, family, and friends...but there was some downtime.  What to do in Bernice??? Early in the morning they would say, "See you later, Gypsy..and off they would go...walking.  Down the road...pass Mrs. Ruth Hollis' house, pass where Aunt Aunean used to live, pass Mama Blanche's house, pass the warehouses..and on and on and on.  Vannie would have the timer on her phone ticking away...about 40 minutes.  Sometimes they would go the other way...pass the St. John House, pass Lucille Porter's house, pass more warehouses, pass the water tower, pass the Baptist Church...and on and on and on. They did this over and over...day after day...and they would always come back with one story after another about what was still there and what wasn't...what was about to fall down and what was still in good shape.
There was a story about when Vannie's niece, Amy Pesnell, set off the fire alarm at the Mayor's Office...and the time Vannie got hit by a car in the middle of Hwy 167...and lived to tell about it!
 
I could go on and on forever, but I have to get back to my original plan...The Oldtimer's Bernice Quiz.  The following photographs are places or small parts of places in Bernice that Vannie took on their walks.  The winner will receive one free night in ME...and...V and D will get to stay in your house and sleep in your big bed and take a bath in your big tub.  SO...be quick...who's going to be the first to get them all correct.
