The vision plan and the associated visuals looked great. The execution has been poor and a huge lost opportunity to dramatically improve this community asset. $81 million for the current mess, that does not include all the pathway improvements, which was part of the initial vision.
I believe about another $50 million is needed to complete the project, including Wampold Park enhancements and the widening of the Corporate Canal into another small lake. Only $14 million has been secured from FEMA for the Corporate Canal section, which connects Stanford to Sorority Row and addresses some drainage issues.
One of the biggest concerns expressed by those attending a town hall meeting, is the ongoing maintenance once completed.

There are rumors that ESPN unlimited will be added before fall.
The rotation of the running backs will be interesting. Keeping all three happy will be a challenge.

2007 SEC Championship game against Tennessee. Starting QB out. Coaching rumors created distractions. Close, tough battle and the win enabled a national championship.
Pet care is one of the most recession proof businesses. There is no limit to the price people will pay for their pets. My research on this topic is limited to personal experiences.

The PowerPoint shown at the June update meeting is on the universitylakesproject.org website now. It provides many of the details of the project progress, including costs.
If I’m reading the slides correctly, $81 million has been raised for current contracts.One slide indicates that the running/walking/ bike paths will cost an additional $27 million. The expansion of Wampold Park will be between $14-16 million.

I attended the last update meeting held at LSU. The meeting set-up was amateurish, at best. Half the people had to stand because of limited seats. It was hard to hear because of no microphones for the audience asking questions. Very poor logistical management.
The vocal minority were concerned about the landscaping maintenance, the concept of a singular consortium managing the ongoing environment and the poor planning in determining fiscal requirements for execution.
Someone asked about the cypress and the project manager indicted that the cypress in the City Park Lake area was not sellable due to poor quality. They hope to sell the cypress from University Lake but that isn’t a definite.

While not a LSU bar, Chappell’s is worth the trip. Amazing collection of sports memorabilia.

Belle was great in the MLB but not in the top 3 for LSU. Crews, Walker and Furniss were probably the best position players.

LSU did not commission Mardi Gras Mike. It was a LSU supporter that had the idea and approached Kern. Kern owns the float.
