The Real Superstore


I actually kind of liked that place. It had a great bakery. Don't know what the hell was up with the yellow and black color scheme though.

Burger Tyme


Cajun Blaze with cheese is the greatest fast food hamburger of all time. In'n Out tastes like rancid monkey ball sweat compared to that burger.

That's the one on Kaliste and Ambassador. I had it confused with Show Biz.

Pizza Playhouse was the purple dinosaur place.

Remember Booties? What about Toucans? I remember the story about Toucans. It was apparently owned by a guy who had a reputation for starting businesses, getting into financial trouble, then burning them down for the insurance money. The joke was, how much gas does it take to burn down a restaurant on the corner of Doucet and Johnston? Two Cans.

Pizza Village is the one constant whenever I visit Lafayette.

Acadian Hills is a goat farm on a beautiful piece of property that could host a great golf course.

i'd also like to give love to Alladin's Castle at this time


OK rouge I have to check you right now. Are you referring to the "old" Alladin's Castle that was in the middle of the food court or the new one. Because the old one was the shiznit.

Since you bring the up. I would also like to give a shout out to Orange Julius, and the arcade from the old glorious now defunk northgate mall. Both were a kids dream.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about that. Could you be any more blatant than to have 20 fighting dogs right out in the open like that? Damn, only in Louisiana. or maybe Virginia.
