Debbie Pearl River is on the North Shore across the lake from NO. a few miles from Slidell. I live another ten further into the countryside, not in the small town of PR but my post office is there thus my address. And yes yes yes, I have been to Pat's many times. It was a regular stop on our way to Grand Coteau Basketball camps back in the day. Have not been that way recently but it would definitely be the place to stop for food. PP always had to have oysters at the bar while we waited for our table. It was his thing. Those were the days. shirleyt
