Any of you NOLA baws remember Lake Forest Plaza?

Why do you use baws in every thread ?

take it easy, the bi-monthly New Orleans East thread was just here bro

I would always belly up to Morrison's Cafeteria.

damn... the Plaza brings back too many childhood memories

it went downhill fast and then Katrina provided the final kill shot

that Grand movie theater they built next to it to try and save it did nothing

I didn’t think it was still open in 2005. That whole area turned into a shithole long before then.

it may have been closed by then and I just have my timeline messed up

I just know the building was demolished and the Lowe's was built shortly thereafter

First time I ever had a gun put in my face was at Lake Forest, 90's Baw

and now the Lowes is closed

I didn’t know the Lowe’s closed. That place is a total wasteland.

Dude!!! I remember the Volcano that took two waiters to bring out on a stretcher and was preceded by a siren.

There was a time out there( The East) wherein you can get whatever you wanted. Plaza had 4 anchor stores and theatre. It had Rubenstein Bros, Godchaux's(high end clothing) I can remember Saturday morning/afternoons were packed. The area around it thrived as well, Sound Trek audio,Daiquiri's and smaller businesses thrived along Lake Forest Blvd from Read to Bundy. Even had pretty good restaurants out there, Ro Je's later Poldi's,Crozier's, Spinelli's and a steak restaurant in Deer Park, to name a few.

.....memories.... now only blight and crime.
