Those apartments on Burbank on the Sonic side right as the road bends (Crescent?) had a ton of big parties circa 04-08. Nothing but college kids. Now a read someone got shot there a week or two ago.

Yep. I heard about some students having their apartment broken into there, while they were home. They were girls so they had to hide in the closet. Also heard some other student had his car stolen from that parking lot

I definitely agree with this. Most of the guys in there aren't drinking anything

Can't agree on this. I wouldn't exactly call this a traditional karaoke night. The karaoke is dominated by rap music and all the songs in between are rap music. They might not have chosen the crowd, but they aren't doing anything to deter it.

You may see a change after this. All they have to do is cancel the Karaoke and the drink special. The crowd will move on.

MM hires a DJ who in charge of the music and the karaoke. You can't really blame him for playing rap music the whole time if that's what all the culcha in there is asking for.

but you are right in the fact that management needs to do something . If they don't fix this issue they're going to lose a lot of business though. College students like to go there for trivia night, and they won't go there as long as the culcha is there doing shite like this.

Yep they can change the crowd. Change it to 80s night or something like that.

It was always pretty low key around 07-11. It was busier on Wednesdays but nothing like it is now.

with all of the options for trivia in BR, a news story like this will absolutely nuke their student/productive citizen attendance

I don't blame the dj. He's hired to play music, possibly to the crowd.

Management let it get out of control.

When Scruffy lived in Shreveport, there was a drink special at a restaurant that was pretty much two for one anything.

Started off nice and then the over drinkers and trash showed up. Fights started happening.

The minute they got rid of the drink special, the trash scattered.

Eventually, all good things come to an end...

Wednesday night at Superior Grill for example...
