I wish LSU had never left Pineville. It was the perfect site for a state university. Centrally located, rural, but near an urban center. Unlimited space for expansion. Imagine Tiger Stadium nestled among the stately pines and rolling hills of Cenla.

harder to gentrify when so much low income housing north of that area. It can be done, though. Takes some good vision and investment in the area. Price the crap out.

Having an interesting past pretty much goes with the territory of owning a bar in s. La.

And by interesting I mean shady.

They should have kept the cow college in Pineville, put Tech in BR, and made Natchitoches home of an Ole Miss-type liberal arts college.

At the risk of being labeled a racist, it's a predominately black area - that's why. Name one predominately black area that rebounded without gentrification....I'll hang up and listen.

I can't name one that isn't a complete shithole. It's sad really.

There aren’t any such areas. But racist, nonetheless.

There are no such things as stately pines. Pines are shite.


And LSU would be just another boring, blue Law having Baptist bullshite college if it was in CenLA.


They need to Just raze all the ghetto and section 8 housing around LSU and open the areas up to decent hard working people and students

Steve has sat in front of me all my life in Tiger Stadium. When I was in high school I was drinking at the Bengal thanks to him.

His brother Dominic ran Bonfanti Marine on Greenwell Springs Road and he sat directly in front of me. They always had hands in many things.

I usually park around that area for football games. My buzz goes away quickly when walking back to my truck after games, always keep my head on a swivel.
