quote:

In the area around Patient Plus are multiple abandoned buildings. Some are boarded up, some are unsecured and have remained in poor condition for several years. Logan says people will set fires inside the building across from the clinic; others are visibly taking drugs.


quote:

A few of the buildings share the same owner. The Harmony Center offers group homes, transitional living, and assisted housing support for people with developmental disabilities, mental illness and other challenges. The president and director of the Harmony Center is Collis Temple.

Temple owns dozens of properties around East Baton Rouge Parish, including a property directly behind Patel's clinic on Florida Boulevard, and two across the way on Atkinson Street, which are boarded up. Another building on the corner remains unsecured with windows smashed in.

I'm not scared to ask the obvious question.
Why is Collins Temple such a deadbeat slumlord scumbag?

The notorious 1st AA to play basketball at LSU, breaking the color barrier at the school. Way to show up and be a bright shining example for the AA youth, your people and the LSU communities.

Everything I hear about this guy - he is grifter that does not pay his bills.

I don’t understand the purpose of collecting slums. Even if you pay $10-15k each plus property taxes each year adds up. Are they purchased with grant money? Or are they exempt because they’re a nonprofit?

Probably because one of the blighted property judges, Division B Judge Kelli Terrell Temple is the wife of Collis Temple, Jr.


Here are the other blight judges:

Division A Judge Calli M Boudreaux


Division C Judge Britteny B Jorden


Division D Judge Yvette Alexander


Division E Judge Judy Moore Vendetto

I used to be a dealer at Lauberge in BR where CT is a frequent high limit blackjack player. Let's just say he was not a favorite among of the dealers. The one time I dealt to him, I was giving the primary dealer at his table a break. Took 20k off him in 20 minutes. I had to try really hard not to smirk or laugh when he just stared at me after I cleaned him out

picture sizes are what comes from the raw link to the BRLA site, so blame them for the pics not all being the same size

FYI, you can size pics on here. Just hit space and type "width=400" (or whatever pixel number you want) after the picture's web address and they will all be the same size.

I never knew that. That seems.....odd, and certainly like a conflict of interest.

Yeah, great call! You must be correct since you have no idea what’s going on and zero context.

Here’s the correct question.. why do people tear up your properties? It’s impossible to keep anything nice in the hood.
