Chevrolet Street Meet Cute

126 Chevrolet Street is the former location of ER Automotive, where Elaine's Dad served as a Minden Mechanic for decades before moving to Dixie Street. This building was where Elaine grew up and learned about love and hard work. 	Decades later, Minden Jiu-Jitsu- LBBA opened at the same address where Elaine can look around and see memories, all while making new ones. 	Michael is a talented martial artist who moved to support the new gym as both a teacher and a student, not realizing he'd meet his future wife. Both Elaine and Michael showed up to the mat every Monday &amp; Wednesday for kickboxing and became friends along the way. Conversations before and after class turned into texts, phone calls, and their first date after the Minden Maker's Fair, where Michael promoted Minden BJJ. He also pulled his hamstring by doing the splits before stretching, but injuries are a running theme in Michael's life, so that was a good introduction to dating him for Elaine.
