The owners of a historic building at LSU’s North Gate are requesting that the Planning Commission rezone the property for future use as a bar.


Chimes Textbook Exchange Might Become a Bar


quote:

there’s a regional bar concept that has expressed interest in the property but the deal is “100% contingent on the rezoning.” Though he declines to name the potential tenant, he says it’s a name people will recognize.


Does anyone stand a chance at that location?




quote:

It was constructed around 1930 and was the original Kappa Alpha fraternity house. In later years, an addition was placed on the front of the building. Greene says that addition will be removed to accommodate a patio and that the interior of the original building will be restored.

North campus would be a goldmine if they bought and converted more free public parking. It’s just too stressful to go down their worrying about being towed, so many more places without the hassle. That and got rid of the trash asking you for money to buy milk for their kids everywhere you go.

Don’t need free parking if your main clientele is LSU students who simply walk from on campus. Problem is getting the LSU students to abandon tigerland and walk to north gate instead.

Anybody who hung out in The Bayou back-in-the-day should be familiar with those lyrics!

The scumbags of Riverside Towing will be all over this. I wish Riverside Towing’s HQ’s would blow itself up.
