Ted’s Frostop to be torn down to make way for Tulane student housing

They aren't closing. They're moving - keeping the lights, rebuilding, and incorporating it into the same general area.

ETA: NM, looks like they're doing it LSU style..

Same day they announce Checkpoint Charlies on Esplanade shutting down.

Two dumpy places that were mostly empty most of the time that people are now coming out the woodwork to screech hysterically over them closing.

I like the idea of both being open as well, but I guess I understand reality of things.

Haven't been in years. It was meh at best.

Kokopelli’s or gtfo.

You can still buy it outside of Frostop.

Between this proposed building and the colostomy bag practice facility across the street Tulane is really doing a number the cities curb appeal

Frostop is New Orleans legend

Is Roberts bar still right there?

The Frostop on Claiborne usually has 20 people in it at any time during the morning or afternoon. It’s far from dumpy for a diner.

Tulane's new on campus student housing rule is terrible for the city and I don't want a huge dorm on Claiborne w/ drunk kids stumbling across 6 lanes of road at all hours of the day/night.

I would assume most of neighborhood will be out in protest soon. There will need to be some designated cross walks and street lights built.
