Update: I went back and looked around other parts of Jennings in May of 2019.
While its former parish church remains in good condition, I was saddened to see the old school is still sitting empty. There is a weird barbed wire fence around a portion of it, but not all the way around.
I was saddened, and shocked, when I came to the realization that about half of the old houses on the side streets are now abandoned. What happened? The bottom seems to have dropped out from under it, and I do not know why.
So sad to see that. I attended high school there from 1968 – 72 and have great memories of the school and neighborhood…
