Good news for the area. LINK

The historic building at 268 W. Chimes St. near the north gates of LSU’s campus has been acquired by a Mandeville real estate investor, who plans to redevelop the site—until recently, the home of Chimes Textbook Exchange—into a restaurant and bar.
“We are looking for a restaurant concept that wants to be at the footsteps of LSU,” Greene says. “The property is really going to look great once completed. We will have front elevation renderings completed next week, and will work together with the prospective user to finalize the floor plan.”

I have fond memories of that place. Like when I parked in the nearly empty Gatti's parking lot next door to drop off / sell a book. I was in there for literally 2 minutes. My car was gone when I went outside, thanks to Riverside. My first and only experience with those a-holes!

Inevitably will be some form of a chain "gormet" burger place

It was constructed around 1930 and was the original Kappa Alpha fraternity house. In later years, an addition was placed on the front of the building. Greene says that addition will be removed to accommodate a patio and that the interior of the original building will be restored.
Sounds promising. Really interested to see how this turns out.

Maybe Ben's Broiled Burgers can expand into the Baton Rouge Market

Good luck with this....the bar and restaurant scene around lsu needs a definite upgrade though I think the northgate is headed in the right direction....tiger land is a dump and needs to be torn down....the bars are awful and the apartments are worse
