Meadows Apartment complex


This would be the new HUD complex at the corner of Nicholson and Gardere.

Built under Barry's prior program to bring diversity to the suburbs (this is next to Indigo Park Apartments and about 500 feet form the entrance to Nicholson Lakes subdivision).

Nicholson from Pastime Lounge to W. Chimes is the biggest head scratcher of a road I've ever been on. Surely LSU has enough clout to get this corridor fixed. I mean it's an embarrassment to have potholes and buckled spots so bad that it can pop a sedan's tire. I mean hundreds of thousands of other teams' fans travel this corridor and this is our best first impression?

There was a big development near Magnolia Mound planned, but it was cancelled once Broome killed the tram.

Didn’t know that, thanks for the info. SWB, she’s the gift that keeps on giving all year long like Cousin Eddie’s jello mold.

You can't get the Plank Road peeps to LSU on the tram.

BTW, how's that CATS express coming along?

I’m assuming this is the complex that looks like a huge Holiday Inn express with faux balconies.

“Business Center” used to mean “a pay phone capable of accepting call backs” for that group of people.

The person shot to death today on Nicholson Dr in BR is #72 for the year.

Still on pace to get close or over 200 homicides for 2021.

As long as it’s not a white person shooting a black person or a young kid that’s killed nobody even cares.

Why would it change?

I believe there is a master plan for this, at least I’ve seen drawings for it

A lot of that’s already owned/vacant

And President Grandpa's administration is working hard to revive/expand that program. What a time to be alive...
