I watched a youtube of that 33 Anchor Anne L'Heureux.(from the Jeanne Burns thread) and have two questions about this link:
Youtube of Anne L'Heureux NBC33 broadcast from 1983
1. What was the controversial project in Southdowns area she talks about?
and
2. Where was this Travel Lodge hotel in BR? I googled the murder trial she mentioned(Leigh Burton shot her husband Richard) and i'm intrigued now.

FACTS
On the afternoon of June 29, 1983, defendant went to the Travelodge Motel lounge in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after calling the victim and asking him to meet her there. She arrived at approximately 4:00 p.m. but stayed for only a few minutes and then returned at approximately 4:30 p.m. She took a seat at the bar and told the bartender that she was meeting someone. Another customer introduced defendant to the bartender and ordered a beer for her. A few minutes later the victim walked into the bar, exchanged pleasantries with one or two other patrons and sat down next to her.
Defendant testified that they began discussing an argument that had occurred the previous evening concerning the victim's involvement with another woman. During that argument, the victim had taunted defendant with the words ". . . would you like for me to tell you how good her pussy was?" Defendant asked him if he would like to tell her again how good his girlfriend's pussy was. She testified that he laughed and said, "You want to talk about that again." Defendant testified that at that time she shot him with a gun she had purchased earlier that day.
Several patrons at the bar were eyewitnesses to the shooting. One witness testified that, after the shooting, defendant calmly walked out of the bar. She was seen getting into an automobile and driving away. The victim was immediately transported to a local hospital and underwent surgery which was unsuccessful. He died early on June 30, 1983.
The police located defendant in a hospital on the day following the shooting. She had attempted suicide with an overdose of drugs. When she was released from the hospital, she was arrested for the murder of her husband.

I don't know, but one thing this video does is prove Southdowns had been a pain in the arse since at least 1983.

Vaguely remember a TravelLodge on Airline Highway near the intersection with S Choctaw.

The Travelodge was downtown in the 400 block of Lafayette Street, between Lafayette and the river. It had a restaurant and a bar frequented by serious drinkers. It was demolished about ten years ago for the construction of an office/condo complex overlooking the river.

i think the hotel where Richard Burton's wife shot him was on the capital lake where the division of admin. new building is now.
She got out of jail and worked as a legal secretary for a while, but i have not heard anything about her in years.
Here's an interesting "rest of the story" i heard from a long-time defense lawyer. One of the small courthouses on the west bank north of new orleans was one of the first to get a metal detector for the courtroom because of this case. on the day of his death, Burton was set to try a case against the defense lawyer at this courthouse. before lunch, burton's wife presented herself at the judge's chambers looking for Burton. The case had settled and everyone was gone, so she left. The rumor was that she intended to shoot him during the trial.
