No one else seems to care enough to keep up the areas that college students frequent so the college students need to be smart and frequent somewhere that is safe.

quote:But all that would do is put those bars out of business, and the bars are not the problem! The shootings would still occur in Tigerland, which according to you is tied, in the public eye, to LSU. So you wouldn't eradicate the problem, only put the bars out of business. Also, students are not going to just decide as a whole to not go to bars if they don't feel threatened by this violence. I am on your side-I think there is definitely a problem that needs to be dealt with-I just don't think your solution is realistic or necessarily even the most efficient  Reply • Back to Top |
quote: The only reason it is tied to the university is because it is known for being the popular student hangout. You take away the students and you take away the ties. Now like I've said this isn't my preferred action, I would much prefer to see the city clean that area along with all the other terrible areas bordering campus. But if the people in charge aren't capable of doing that or willing to do that then the students need to create a new scene.... Now will that happen? Not until something drastic shocking and terrible happens unfortunately. Which is going to happen sooner or later imo. Its only a matter of time. and those bars in danger of being put out of business need to join together and actually make a stand and at least attempt to change what is going on in their back yard.

| Tom, nice strategic and selective edit of 'eye for profits' and 'when possible', as to totally misconstrue it's intent. And hold your breath on practically anyone but an LSU grad, if ever at all, showing any interest in it's redevelopment..it's only been forty years now. I'm not a redneck. And not for intimidation by anyone nor entity in any form. Your rationalization, deduction, and comprehension skills, all need work. Reply • Back to Top |
| I hate to hear that Tigerland has gotten so bad. When I arrived at LSU in 1988, we lived in the first building at Tiger Plaza with our balcony and deck overlooking Fred's and S.I. with Tigerburger right outside our door. To my 18 year old eyes and hormones it was a place better than Disneyland. We could go out with $15.00 and have a great time, walk to and from the bars and usually have an afterparty at the apt after the bars closed. Tigerburger had the best hamburgers ever created (Brewbachers was out of our price range), Todd and Zook always had our back at The Tiger and Curley Hallman was ruining our Saturday nights. I would love to go back and see the place, but it would probably just depress me and put a dark cloud on the memory of the best years of my life. Reply • Back to Top |
| When I lived in my shitty no name complex down the street, I would sneak into the Tiger Plaza poolhouse and work out on the Universal gym Reply • Back to Top |

| Tigerland is 5 bars with huge crappy parking lots that sucked when I was there 10 years ago. Robberies happened all the time. The area needed a bulldozer back then. Not worth saving. Reply • Back to Top |
| LSU has one of the worst bar scenes in the SEC, it's really fricking pathetic. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
