The people that own it can let it be a complete shite hole but still be 100% full thanks to government section 8 housing

I'd wrap you up like stuffed jalapeños. You couldn't handle these poppers.

Aren’t you the guy who said LSU had more students in the 80s and has like 22K now?
You sound well informed so I’ll trust yr opinion

Would not consider tigerland to campus “walkable”… lived there in the 80s. As did many students.. lsu ran a bus service ..
Tigerland … Got old— kids got spoiled- parents got subsidized with tops —- Nola flooded…lots of empty old apartments got filled—- got dangerous.

A lot of those properties were unloaded onto out of state investors post Katrina. Someone tried to turn one into condos. I looked into a few for rental property but abandoned buildings with any copper and even toilets stolen was a real signal.

You can pee on the LSU golf course from Tiger Land and the front 9 was across from CEBA when I was in school. It's close to campus.

Yup.. my apartment backed up to the golf course and my classes were in CEBA..
I took the bus .. as did every other student living in tigerland.. guess we were lazy in the 80s

Collis Temple Sr. would disagree. There's no need for improvements at all. Mailbox money still comes every month from the government.

He would charge more for the upgraded windows .

Which is also why college tuition has been increasing so much over the past 25 years.
It’s why it’s tolerated. A more apt finger pointing to a driver is that the trend in recent decades to cut state funding to them. Louisiana is particularly bad about it, with the provisions of the constitution both requiring a balanced budget and only allowing cuts to occur in relatively few areas. Education is one of the unprotected categories.

This should be required at the federal level other than in times of war.

eating poboys from Old Man Duple’s “Pumpin’ Station” and living in $350/mo apartments.
$295 one bedroom on Jim Taylor in 1978. All poboys since have been rated against Pumping Station roast beef. Nothing has come close. I thought it was owned by a dental student at LSU?

Sad to see that happening in Tigerland.
Late 80s I lived in the slightly more upscale Brightside, but not boujie enough for Sharlow.
Anyone remember buying beer at that little liquor store on the street in front of Sports (later became Reggie’s?) ?

Dude used to sell me kegs of Natty for like $45 and he'd put a Bud Light tap cover on it
