re: What are some of the things you crave and miss about Baton Rouge?

Roma Deli on Sherwood Forest had a "Roma Special" sandwich that was really good. I liked that sandwich shop.

Nights just aren't the same without the rhythmic gunshot ringing outside my window to put me to sleep.

I miss masons happy hour.
I miss going to the chimes on a random weeknight especially during christmas season.
I miss the old sammys, before it remodeled.
I miss Tonys tavern.
I miss drinking beer and playing golden tee.
I miss going to superior grill on thursdays for nick saban show.

Then came marriage, kids and responsiblities.
Wife and I coming down for a couple days weekend, suppose Ill get some of it back.
WOuldnt trade my life now though, however I do sometimes miss how it use to be.

the original structure was awesome.

I've never set foot in the remodeled version.

Not a conscious decision or anything, just never had a reason to do so.

I liked the old divey place, though.

I miss AM Mart, I miss the sheer abundance of greek food available, I miss STDs at Reggie's, I miss it all

There was a grocery store downtown that was lost when the overpass was built off of North Blvd. Romano's grocery. They had plate lunches and hot sausage poboys. I miss them everytime I drive over the new bridge.

The building was still there several years ago. The overpass didn't take them out of business. They just decided to close and did so before the construction began.
