re: New five guys / chipotle in BR

True. But we really need first and foremost the dilapidated houses to be knocked down, the parish to form a cohesive plan that we work towards that involves cleaning it up and moving the trash out, and having more apartment style living.

I would love for them to have a master plan that basically tried to recreate a smaller version of uptown nola. Wishful thinking I know, but there is a lot of promise there.

Really wish LSU would just start moving that way instead of expropriating land the other direction. Expropriate the shittyness that's in that area, and work with private business/city officials to rejuvenate the area.

The real problem is Central and Zachary, and to a less extent, Ascension and Livingston. They are too small town to understand how a thriving area like that could actually benefit the entire community because less 25-35 year old people won't flee this place. So anything involving spending money in downtown BR is met with, "this doesn't help us." I can't stand that mentality because it's just wrong in so many ways.
