It's probably one of the easiest places to get into and out off in Baton Rouge.
The entrance on Jefferson is what I was talking about. Traffic backs up at the light during the lunch hour and in the evening making it impossible to make a left into the driveway or to get out of the driveway when you're leaving. A lot of potential customers don't know about the side entrance to the parking lot. Some signage to direct people there would be money well spent.

quote:Langland agrees. A big arrow and a "TURN HERE" sign to help out the newbies and short bus riders. It wouldn't hurt and it would draw attention to the place. Good call. Even though I already thought of it.

Seems that way but it's not a destination area, if that makes any sense. There isn't much there like in Towne Center, even though it is relatively close. Unless you live right there, why drive there for some random average food?
To make it there, and other less desirable locations, you have to create a concept that's specific for the location. In other words, a concept that's created for the people that live, work and play in that market area. And that ain't easy to do, unless you're me
. Restaurants located there in the past were already existing concepts that were forced on that location. Round pegs trying to fit into a square hole. I'm just saying create a square peg. Those that don't know how to create a concept that's specific to a location, and that's pretty much most people in the restaurant bidness, have to rely on hope, like Pat's did, or on more expensive "destination areas" with mass appeal, which only big chain restaurants can afford.This post was edited on 9/29/15 at 4:18 pm

I'm not following or visualizing what you're saying, are there two sets of double yellow lines?
