margaret place: That magical day in Margaret Place!
- 04/27/12 08:55 AM
I'm not sure how long this "cloud 9" feeling is going to last relative to Palm Sunday Weekend, especially the Palm Sunday Tour of Homes, but I am not complaining! The kudos, appreciation, and positive comments for the effort put forth by the Joint Committee and the residents of Margaret Place continue over a month later! At last nights monthy meeting of the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society (CHPS), it was reported by Trolley docent and well known preservationist, Adley Cormier, that a group traveling from Houston for the 37th Annual Palm Sunday Tour of Homes in Margaret Place gave the effort … (0 comments)
margaret place: Margaret Place Historical District
- 08/22/10 02:34 PM
Many think that Margaret Place Historical District simply amplifies the name of "Margaret Place," a subdivision recorded in 1912. Since Margaret Place is the largest portion of the district, the district name makes sense. But, to clarify, please know that there are actually 3 recorded subdivisions within the district. According to the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury (CPPJ) interactive map, Margaret Place of Perkins Grove is the formal name for what is generally considered the oldest recorded subdivision in Calcasieu Parish. Margaret Manor Block C of Margaret Place is referenced as a separate subdivision according to the CPPJ site. The 3rd formal … (2 comments)
margaret place: Do the Night Owls at Active Rain need a back up Mascot?
- 08/05/10 05:03 AM
If the mascot (is this the offical mascot?) for The Night Owls at Active Rain needs a break, this Margaret Place Owl might make a suitable backup, despite the fact that it scared the daylights out of me as I was walking from the house to my office. I'm used to the squirrels leaping from limb-to-limb and tree-to-tree, but the sound this guy made as he flew to a perch for a bird's eye view of my back yard was a bit startling. He was less than 20' from me when I pulled out my phone to capture a few … (4 comments)

margaret place: DeAngelos
- 04/19/08 10:24 AM
It is a few hours short of a week ago that my favorite restaurant of all time went up in flames. From my office, where I am writing this, I stare sadly at the remaining shell of DeAngelos and wonder what the other "regulars" are doing. We have consoled each other via the phone or e-mail and been dealt with kindly by our friends who recognize our addiction to the quality of the food, caliber of the staff, the location, the happy hours and more. All of us have experienced "DeAngelos Deprivation" and it isn't pretty. Why wouldn't DeAngelos be my favorite … (3 comments)
margaret place: Margaret Place Historic District
- 04/12/08 04:52 AM
Margaret Place is generally considered the oldest recorded subdivision in Calcasieu Parish and will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2012. In the mid-90's, under the leadership of then Mayor Willie Mount, and with the assistance of the Calcasieu Historical Society, a city Historic District was created. Margaret Place follows the same guidelines as its model, the Charpentier Historic District. These guideliness help to protect the integrity of these valuable historic areas, insuring the enjoyment of the richness and character of both districts for years to come. Calcasieu Preservationist A.C. Boudier conducts walking tours of both districts. The boundaries for Margaret Place … (5 comments)
Besides writing a bit about my listings and services, I enjoy sharing information about Lake Charles, Southwest Louisiana, and The Margaret Place Historical District and general real estate.
