Inside concerts
Packed crowds at football games
Dancing indoors
Going to work, businesses, and church without wearing a useless cloth mask
24 hour in-door dining
Fast food dining rooms and bathrooms
Gas station convenience stores being open after 10:00pm
Flirting and dancing with girls at bars after 10:00pm
Being able to visit other places and actually experience their restaurants, breweries, museums, and night life.

Hell, just give me outside concerts of some kind and I will be happy for a while.

There’s still some outside concerts. In Baton Rouge, Beauvior Park has one every Thursday. The problem has been BR weather rains every weekend when it’s not hot or cold as shiite.
However, most places with outdoor patios can’t afford to book full bands or only have the space for small acoustic duos.

Does anyone remember Thunderbird Beach? I remember going there as a kid in early 70’s. Water slide was awesome.

Morris Island in Charleston Harbor. It's a sandbar and a lighthouse now, but we'd put a pack of beagles in the boat and run rabbits out there when I was a kid.

Sidmar's was one of those restaurants on the Jefferson Parish side of 17th St canal.
Original Jaegars where you could get .99/lb boiled crawfish on Sundays and just hang out and get smashed on the lake.
Service Merchandise, for some reason I loved going to that store.
Water slide on Veterans just West of Bonnabel(there is an Ochsner clinic there now)
Security Sporting Goods... one was on Veterans by the old Kmart off of David Dr and there was one on Carrollton Ave by Palmetto(pretty much where Costco is now I think). Great local sporting goods store before Academy and Dicks were around.
Oshman's Sporting Goods
Children's Palace a
toy store on Veterans. looked like a castle.
Lionel Play World on Airline hwy... it's where my mom waited in line for a Cabbage Patch kid for my sister.
Old DH Holmes at Lakeside had a restaurant on the 2nd floor called Potpourri and they had awesome chicken salad and ice cream in cones made to look like a clown. My grandmother would always take us there when shopping at the mall... this was before food courts became a thing.

That's on my list. Used to be the "Old #2 Course," I guess before the one that abuts Robert E. Lee was laid out?

There is one in Slidell
Posted on 12/28/20 at 12:18 pm to fleurdelis
Oh yeah... I forgot about the Bourbon Street location. I just never go down there and there's no drive-thru. Will have to hit the Slidell location when I am going through there.

Yes! That was another great place. I was very young when we went, but I have a few spotty memories of it along with some great old pictures my mom took. The big metal slide, floating in inner tubes or air mattresses, etc. I think they even had a couple of rides. I remember one with some type of go-go dancer mannequin near it's entrance that would kind of swivel.

National weather service Office at Ryan Airport ( Baton Rouge ). Officially closed down in 1993, the NWS was a WSO office that produced weather warnings for most of Southeast Louisiana. Led by the meteorologist in charge, John Mosley, the staff also provided weather information via NOAA Weather Radio, KHB-46 (162.400mhz).
The current radar warnings come from a weather service office in Slidell. Slidell Radar is 65 miles from Baton Rouge .
