1) we lost to Arkansas in 2002 in Little Rock. I was there. It sucked. Was also 15 degrees.
2) all this talk about Jack in the Box-I was never a fan. It had nothing on my favorite fast food place in BR——FAST TRACK! I used to go to the one at Government and S. Foster I think. Delicious burgers!
3) there was a sandwich place on Nicholson going towards downtown. You could eat three meals off of one of the shrimp poboys. Can’t remember the name???

This would be like doing a 2010 night today.
Anywhere doing anything like that? What would that even look like?

There was an old movie theater that I feel like showed the interactive Rocky Horror all the time. late 90s or early 2000s. Then Ichiban opened and IIRC, this was the first sushi place in town. Definitely my first experience with that cuisine.

The Jack in the Box on the north gate of LSU used to be a Popeyes. And every know and then they ran a special of 20 wings for $5.
Used to live in one of those shitbox duplexes behind it when it was a Popeye's and ate there way too often.
Those were the days.

You are a little younger. I actually worked at Milanos that pizza was great. They actually had an arcade where Monjunis was for a little while

A little farther back, but in 76 there was a small Chinese drive in not far from Prince Murat but across the street. I was working for my uncle while at LSU, he owned a paper company, and I worked in the warehouse with a bunch of black people from north B.R. I had a Honda 175 motorcycle and would go there for lunch. Brought some back one day and the whole warehouse gang loved it. There was also one on Choctaw I believe. So, every time I went there I had to get orders from the crew. Good times. Baton Rouge used to be great time for a hick from the sticks.

More than 20 years but...
- Watching Buckskin Bill
- Keeping the quarter from the cart when we went to Superstore
- Getting ice cream from K&B for church fellowship lunch regularly
- The Flea Market on Florida next to the $1 movie (with the tokens)
- My dad taking us to New Generation and the Book Warehouse for hours
- My mom taking us to Hancocks fabrics off of Airline for hours
- My mom taking us to a discount clothing place near the old Belmont Hotel
As a teen a night on the town was regularly going to college and having dinner at On the Border or Macaroni Grill, seeing a movie, and then browsing books and music at Barnes and Noble until we had to leave to make curfew. Or Celebration Station. Tinseltown. We ate at the Hammond Aire DeAngelo's a lot.
Early 20s was the circuit of Ivar's, Zee Zee's, Southdowns, The Station, Cadillac Cafe, Superior, Thirsty Tiger, Red Star, Grapevine, Chimes, Serranos. I'm sure other places I am forgetting.
