1. WQXY. We once had an elevator music station. And my mother was addicted to it. WQXY all the time. Ugh.

I'm curious to see what other people add to the list.

Oh yeah, Leo's. Damn that place was nasty.

I will add Delpit's Fried Chicken. Just once.

Were y'all forced to call in for Time & Temp reports?

Don't see how this was a burden.

ETA: thing I don't miss is an LSU losing season

Lived there for 5 years in college, was robbed in Tigerland, truck broken into twice, and stolen at my apt off College drive. Don't miss anything about the majority of its residents and crime.

I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house in Old Goodwood in the late 70s and early 80s, and that's all she listened to.

Cortana



You must be young. Cortana was THE mall when I was growing up. Bon Marche was the po people's mall.

I agree, Cortana was the place to be when I was growing up.

However, I remember going to the new Cinema 8 at Bon Marche and thought it was awesome. Family member owned Rosies Pizza by it. Pizza and a movie was awesome as a 10yo.

Bored on a Saturday night and I come on here only to be reminded how old I am. I remember when Cortana opened and Broadmoor was brand new
