He doesn't live in NBR? I know his business was on Perkins but I figured he lives in NBR at least.


He addressed that the other day. States that his business started out on Perkins Road, but has since moved after a couple of years. He did not state where he moved to.

I have not heard him address his personal address, except that he referenced Glen Oaks and North Baton Rouge a few times.

Cortana was located on Airline and Florida.

I-10 changed traffic patterns.

Mall of Louisiana is on I-10. Should hang in there.

It was kind of shocking that he could afford an office in the Perkins area. How much do you think he brings in?
Meghan Matt talks about not having much money (but claims to have 4 jobs, if you count blogging and activism and those things).

Same thing all over, and over, and over. It's a cycle, sell pre turn. Easy Peasy.

frick... The writing is on the wall. If your business is tanking look for other opportunities.. Don't just sit there and sink with the other businesses.

Holy Moly. How can he survive making $0 in sales multiple days out the month?

I say they should move the br zoo there. Knock off parts of the roof, run a train through there and profit.

I think that I've seen these before...big building...bunch of doctors...maybe you could even let all the doctors share operating rooms and shite...maybe let each of the doctors have a share of ownership...


Oh shite...WE COULD CALL IT A PVT HOSPITAL OR CLINIC!!!!!!

What on earth could Gary possibly be qualified to consult on? Would love to see The Rouge Collection's taxes. I bet Donald Trump isn't the only one not paying.

Yup. That's where I saw Return of the Jedi multiple times.

I also saw The Money Pit there. It was a theee screen theater, if I recall. I remember a decent sized screen and a couple of little ones. Although, I could be mis-remembering that aspect.

Best Buy is surviving because they are basically becoming mini electronic malls. Within Best Buy you know have Microsoft, apple, Samsung, Verizon, ATT all having their own stepups and they pay Best Buy for that floor space. It's working out well for them so far.
