That whole commercial area that's built up around nicholson/lee bought to be overrun with car break ins and armed robberies

10 million will actually go towards real work. The rest to SWB cronies

How's that loop coming along?


Oh wait....

Because the links we already have between NBR and LSU went so well, like the football players nearby getting robbed and the basketball player, Wayde Sims, getting killed near Southern.

So instead of making the crime around LSU better, they are actively trying to make it worse?

The original rail idea would have been a waste of money but would have had a benefit, tying what was then a rising downtown area containing significant hotel capacity with the areas largest visitor destination (Tiger Stadium).

Now we’re going to tie a sinking downtown area to the Ghetto and LSU using the same roads that are already clogged. This is going to be a mild improvement in convenience for 8 people, but otherwise accomplish nothing,

Nothing is impeding them from shopping at Whole Foods now. Why the bus route?
