Not unless Lafayette PD gets serious about cleaning up downtown area

Crowd there is made up of broke college kids, thugs, and homeless. Not really your revenue generating group

How was it different from the late 90’s? To me the more glaring differences have been in the past 7-9 years.

Well for one there wasn't a single bar downtown until late 90's

Stan’s and Amanda Scott’s weren’t around back then? The Keg and Bulldog were. I know that.

You’re thinking of Antler’s or Roothogs.

There's a lot more money being poured into downtown for LPD to continue to ignore the problems down there. Rock N Bowl, Dat Dog, the new pizza/beer place that will be open near The Greenroom, the new brewery on Buchanan, etc. I'd hope at some point the Downtown association tries to get them to be proactive. Hell, I thought the shooting and robberies during festival international would've sparked some kind of change but I was wrong.

Jule's isn't Jule's anymore. New name, but can't recall it though. Not sure if it has the same identity as the old Jule's.

Some heavy hitters are trying to get jail moved out of downtown but that takes money and parish government is broke

Sad to hear this. Not sure what changed to spark so much crime and uneasiness. I would never feel unsafe or uncomfortable walking around past midnight back when I would go out of Jefferson street circa 2002-2004 or so.

When did the negative elements begin to encroach upon downtown?

Roothogs opened in 2002.

Sidebar, Jule's had been there way before that.

Also, when Chris's Poboys was still downtown, mostly a lunch spot, they were open as a bar at night. They actually had music/jam sessions there.

Don't know how much Antler's was a bar destination other than on Fridays for Downtown Alive.
