This latest hurdle the OP talked about is $27,000,000 in state and federal funds...not the first or the last such money going into this project.

If you pay taxes it can be classified as a "we" project.

There is only one “big chain restaurant” in Ruston which is chilis.

What a terrible take to make and stick with. You don’t have to love it to simply admit it’s a big deal that many people enjoy. But hey god damnit if Louisiana gets something new that people enjoy.

You probably also think Starbucks, CFA and Whataburger are all overrated.

The nearest I-20 exit is the new one at Tarbutton Road. I kept thinking the local government would change the name of the road, but nothing so far. Tarbutton Road just screams welcome to Hicksville.

Don’t forget about all the sales tax they’ll collect and get to keep from customers. Subsidized beaver nuggets baws!

Look, I'm sorry your triggered. Sincerely mean that. I'm 100 miles from Ruston.

Putting a Bucees in Louisiana really diminishes the brand.

If they were putting a Bucees in South La,like originally planned, it would be the second coming to those people. Gotta wonder why they chose NOT to build neat Baton Rouge & chose a nice, small college town in North La instead.

If laughing at fricking idiots excited about a gas station means I am a "try hard", then you are correct.
