I'm sure we'll get something really unique to replace it in Northgate, like another Frozen Yogurt store.

maybe if you hipster fricks actually spent some money there instead of getting a black coffee and mooching on the wifi for 5 hours, then they would still be able to keep the doors open.

What. The. frick.

Being able to study there got me through school, even the random homeless people helped put things in perspective. I wish LSU would buy the property & act as a landlord. No doubt the building owner is looking to cash out and redevelop the property into more bullshite.

One of my favorite relatively hidden gems from my undergrad years.

My mom is freaking out big time over this. She called the property owners some really mean things in a text to me this morning

damn, that place opened up just as I started law school. Spent many a night getting caffeinated there while cramming up on the 4th floor.

I hope they move to another location nearby.

That really sucks.

It sucks that this place is closing after being open for so long, but I've never really understood the appeal to coffee shops

The owner was a real idiot. Nice enough guy, but had no interest in making money. It was bizarre.

No more Bayou, Library...now HC. The washing away of classic Chimes St. Is nearly complete.

Caesar is wiping my peeps' culture from history all together.

There are some great pictures of old Chimes Street (1950-1980's) on this page.

I knew Co-Op Bookstore was originally in the coffee shop building.

Slinky's was originally an ice cream parlor.
Louie's was once across the street where the Chinese Restaurant is located.
