Ruth Autin: OncAle’s was in Chackbay, La. My sister and I went there in the late 50’s with my uncle and cousins who lived in Chackbay. It was a large dance with a waist high fence around the dance floor.. I do remember people bringing small children. My uncle now deceased played bass in a band that playrd at Oncale’s when he was in college at Nicholls. I was about 14 when my grandmother from Chackbay passed away and think that ened my trips to Oncale’s. About a year ago I did see the building and from the outside it looked the same.
