Funny that you should start this thread...I just read an article about Paradise Records and thought I'll have to share this in the next nostalgia thread. I remember when it was on Highland near the Varsity Theater, before it moved to University Shopping Center.

I spent many hours and dollars in The Bayou while at LSU late 70s-early 80s. Great times.
