Remember the Popeyes just north of campus on Highland
I remember that place AND the Taco Bell that was close to campus.
I could have had my mail delivered there, I was there so much.
Good thing I've always been a runner.

Yep. They even used to do a mean chicken fried steak. I was in hatcher and had a couple buddies who lived in stadium almost right above that place. Loved it.

I couldn't put weight on if I tried back then. Wish that were the case now.
Remember Round the Corner. Those were some damn good hamburgers.

I should hate you now. I'm seriously hungry for one.

We were in the last groups to go to college and seeing it for being a magical time that was a blessing to have. It's lost so much of that and is looked at as being a right.

Great, great times!

That little store was called East Stadium Concession and was still operating when I was there in the early 1990s. I was a journalism major and spent most of my time in the Hatcher basement where KLSU and student media were. I remember an a-hole working there but don't remember the blindness.

Let's see if I can remember. Outside the Gates of LSU (going on Highland looking towards downtown), on the right side of Highland you had: Chimes, The Varsity, Round the Corner, Pedro's farther down, Popeyes', some bar with an Irish name (Hoolihans?), Churches', and some comedy/night club where Gallagher once performed, a wholesale seafood place, Manship Publishing, etc.
On the left side you had: Godfather's Pizza, Shell Station, Mary Lee's Donuts, Burger King, Band Practice Fields, Ace Hardware, The Bengal, some Mafia-looking nightclub, WBRZ-TV, a side street leading to Nicholson and the Pastime :)
Then you had the old original Louie's Cafe (before it moved), the Blood/Plasma Center, an old laundromat, Mr. Gatti's, Wendy's, McDonald's, City National Bank, Murphy's, a Movie Theatre, Grocery Store, etc.
Lair lunches in the Union. Hatcher Cafeteria.
A little snack bar - Foster Commons?, the old Gym Armory, LSU Campus Police, Infirmary. Wow....

Yep, in late 80s there was a tavern in back of the chimes called something like TKs or TYs tavern was fun place but rough. Not frat boy rough but remember it used to be the NATl champion rugby team hangout. What was the 25 cent Thursday night taco and draft beer place called if you went down closer to the Bengal?

Don't forget the Taco Bell that used to be where the Jack in the Box is now. The place never closed.
I think it also failed a couple of health inspections. I guess that's why it later caught on fire.
Italian lightning?

You forgot Paradise Records and New Generation, plus Mediterranean Cafe in the early 9's (I loved that place)

After the Cotton Club closed, I would go out at 10pm, see him on the news, get to Southdowns at 10:35, he would be on his second drink

You are correct. My wife remembers it being in Hatcher also.

I have a question - is the Pastime still around (under the Miss. River bridge)?

Shanahan's was the name of the bar but before that it was called The White Horse.
Remember the Cotton Club?
And inside the Student Union between the Cafeteria and the Tiger Lair was a bar that you could buy beer.
Ain't dere no mo.

Oh so true! I worked!! At the Aquiculture farms off Nicholson cutting grass, feeding catfish etc. Then worked at the La. Breeders Co-Op in the animal science dept.doing things that would make your mother faint,and finally my best gig. Worked in the Union selling tickets to concerts. Made some pretty good friends because of that job, especially with the ladies

How in the hell did I forget Der Weinerschnitzel?
:) I think there was another bank right next to it? And Blimpie's was right next to Murphy's I think?
And the buildings that housed Godfather's and Shell on the corner changed hands a few times.
I think a record store and another restaurant.
Yeah, the Cotton Club was the nightclub/restaurant farther down on Highland.
I sold ad space in the Reveille to them several times

I don't remember what was next to Weinerschnitzel but yeah, Blimpies was next to Murphys. Got into a bar fight with a frat boy at Murphys once. He thought he was a tough guy and I told him he was a wuss along with his Deke brothers. He asked me to come over to his frat house to meet some of his brothers and "discuss it"
I offered him the chance to meet some of "my brothers". Then he asked what frat house I lived in. I told him my frat house "was Broussard Hall and there are a couple of my brothers (pointing to Leonard Marshall, Ramsey Dardar and Malcolm Scott)". The douche bag still took a swing at me. Big mistake!
