$3 high school student ticket to watch USL basketball at Blackham to see Andrew Toney, Kevin Figaro, Graylin Warner, etc. Met Karl Malone in the parking lot after playing La Tech waiting for traffic to clear out. Still have his autograph in one of those old school photo albums collecting dust somewhere in my moms house, lol.

The dollar theatre by the heyman center

Spent a lot of time there during the summer after my senior year of high school. I saw Liar Liar at least 3 times. I also remember when it was a respectable theater. I'm old enough to have seen a movie at The Plaza too.

Aladins castle across from the in mall theatre

That was the new location. It was originally down the hall where it branches out. It later became Suncoast Video.

Saw Raise the Titanic at the plaza with my Dad

My dad used to love to go to the Burger King at Kaliste Saloom and Pinhook and we would eat inside

Movie theater at the Acadiana Mall... Long gone, but it was at the entrance with the food court across from Alladin's Castle.

I may be mistaken but didn’t that used to be Catfish Shack? Cock of the walk was across the street kinda by where lipsticks used to be.
