I think you mean the Shoney's by the Municipal Airport. I remember going there as a kid and watching Cessnas take off and land.

Bonanza Steakhouse, Globes Department Store, Hoppers, the Burger King across the street from State Police, reportedly the first BK in Baton Rouge.

Baton Rouge nostalgia starts and ends with Florida Blvd. for me.
