We used to call the Broadmoor Theater to listen to the guy narrate the showing times. It was hilarious
That made me think about how we used to call for the time. I think it was 387-5411.
Cortana Mall was the best. We’d go all of the time as teens and meet kids from all over BR and the suburbs. We also had 2010 and we could just ride around and meet people. It was so fun. Teens don’t do or have things like that now.
I loved that place across from Canes on Lee and Highland that was also chicken fingers but way better. I miss The Great Wall. We ate there at least once a week.
As a kid it was obviously Fun Fair Park and that place on Florida Blvd close to Flannery I think.

I remember when all you had to dial was 85411 to get the time.

The Keg Lounge on Highland north of LSU. Of course, you’d have to listen to Layla or Whippin’ Post about a hundred times a night.

While in college, that I attended in north Louisiana, I worked at the state senate a couple of summers. In the evening I would meet up at the Caterie with a girl from the same college who was from Baton Rouge. A couple of times I had purchased albums at Leisure Landing on my way there from the downtown capitol building. I asked one of the of the people working there to play the albums which they did. Peter Gabriel (1977, 1978, 1980) and Steve Hackett's first three solo albums. Probably some other albums Tangerine Dream, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre).
I took her to a Genesis concert in May of 1980 at the Saenger Theater on Canal Street in New Orleans. A long time ago.

Yes! Thank you. I knew it started with a B but only Blimpies came to mind, which is also a fast food place I’d bring back.

Yes, the Bayou. Something about the way it smelled. I knew Jim the manager there.

tinseltown was such a huge leap forward compared to the other theatres we had then...it was also the spot to go if you were in junior high late 90s early 00s
Yeah I remember how when it opened it was such a big deal and real nice.
