Someone bring back the lifeline of BR.

I just want Pancho's back.
If possible, I'd also like Spaceport, Macy's, The Broadmoor, Chik-fil-a, that old local guitar shop that moved to Laffy, and K&B back as well.

used to eat there several times a week. My second job at 15 years old was in the Eckerds pharmacy and I would go down to Pancho's on break.

Just nuke BR from I-12 northward and start over. Cheaper, quicker and more effective.

In all seriousness, there needs to be enforced a uniform code on signage and store front appearance. It's a total Chinese clusterfrick from Airline to Flannery.

hey could just move the Zoo there. Apparently it brings so much money to the area it is in currently that the citizens there are fighting tooth and nail to keep it where it is. Putting it on Florida somewhere, maybe where the mall is, should bring much prosperity to the area. Right


Thought you could slip this incredibly racist nugget by us, huh? Have you no shame or decency, sir?

I think a gondola and a $110 million tram would fix everything.

For me, Baton Rouge nostalgia starts and ends with Florida Blvd, particularly Bonanza Steakhouse and Globes Dept. Store.

Bobby Meaders catfish house on little John and Florida.

K&B beer man that made natty light seem like Abita Beer.

Liquor stores on Florida Blvd close to the Denham Springs line where you could get purple passion came in a liter with a bonus squirt bottle, Schlitz Malt Liquor, king Cobra, Wild Irish rose, and wine coolers for the ladies. Those were the days!

Alamo Hotel a lot of the younger generations (snowflake generation) mothers would blush if you mention that place.

Man we need a topic with roller city song request

Oh yeah we cannot forget little Vietnam (area around Belaire).
