re: Baton Rouge nostalgia thread - old, forgotten businesses

Lyman White's Buffalo Wings on Highland. Cornbread there was outstanding!

steinbergs
and yes it's been mentioned
it was the single coolest thing that has been or ever will be about Baton Rouge

What was the local clothing store that had a location next to Murphy's and then Cortana mall?

I can't remember but what about Note Depot on the other side of Chelsea's in the same shopping center? You could buy notes taken of any class at LSU, if you were a frequent class skipper.

I remember Gibson's po boys, I graduated with Gibson's daughter. Someone mentioned Bob and Ronnies Live music but I remember Bob working at Sound City before they opened their own place. Tiger Drive In where they eventually showed porn movies. How about Frisco's, that place was the place to be in the early 80's

Bon Marche was THE mall, we shot our Estes Rockets in the field that became Cortana Mall.

I lived diagonally from there. I loved that house on the corner of Park and Government

The Hawian lounge on plank road in Baker

Loved Fast Track. They actually have one at the chevron truck stop at the Lutcher/Gramercy exit.

Mrs Winners was the shite.

Also loved that when I was little, we lived in Monticello (80-86) before it became ghetto. It was amazing see'ing all the Christmas lights and the traffic jams in the subdivision to look at all the lights. That was also back in the day when all your neighbors would wave at you when you passed by even if they didnt know you.

Possibly Todd Garland and RFD? McLavy is still in business at Bocage and I think Frank's kids are running it now.
