Wanted: Any pictures of University Theater on State Street; or

Any pictures of that area from '85 - '95. The squat houses, the Carlotta street party, the IHOP, the torn up parking lot in front of the grocery store, and the gates that kept the grocery carts within 20 feet of the doors, The Varsity inside when it still showed Rocky Horror at midnight on Saturdays, as for movies the Union Theater that was half underground and showed cool stuff.

LSU Union before the remodel. The pool table area, or the bowling area, or the ping pong tables, or the lockers and seating, or the arcade games, or the snack bar (which sold beer.)

Went on a few adventures down there. Lots of Ramones, Iggy Pop, and other graffiti about bands from the 70's down there. We always entered between Pentagon and the Greek theater. Talked my roommate into going one time and he insisted on bringing holy water.

Was a regular in the Bayou from '79 to '85. Good times.

My dad remembers "The Library" (the original one), "The Bengal", and "The Flying Tiger"

My mom used to run the union theater and was responsible for shite: So Happy It's Thursday

There's a blog with pictures of that whole area from the 1920's-30's up through the 70's. Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark it, but it's fascinating.

Late 80's to mid 90's was good times in that area. I remember seeing bands play in the corner in the chimes.

Was a great bar circa '87-'90 when I used to go there.
