Mother restaurant where Marines love to eat.




Related to New Orleans, Georgia Doogs Andy and I left Colombia, South Carolina, December 31 at 7:30 am, and some will say dirt.

“No, let’s go back to the hotel and watch the game of Penn State Boise State.” The game bored me. Around 3:30 sirens woke me up. You expect this in cities. I went back to sleep.

The officials delayed the sugar bowl and people were passing to extend the hotel rooms, to book new flights … followed General Bedel. Some Dawgs left home. We stayed. We had a day to fill now. Games with a bowl and afternoon at Howlin ‘Wolf as the hours passed. Called the legendary bluesman Chester Burnett, Howlin ‘Wolf made a good break.
