I must say, It's weird to see all this work being done. Because of band, I've been hanging around that part of campus for about 5 years. I was weird to see the parking tower go up where we used to practice. My current roomate and some other friends used to live in the Twin Towers. Now, all the buildings are coming down. I think it's cool that all the progress is going on, but it's weird to see all the familiar things going down.
I almost got a job at the credit union during the summer. Boy am I glad that fell through. Where is the Credit union right now?
It's in a trailer at the corner of Lewis and Johnston.
My wife and I are both UL(USL) grads and are wondering why Allumni are not allowed to join the UL Credit Union. I was told by a UL Credit Union employee that only UL staff and students can join.
While a student I did not have money to join, now that I do have some money, I am told I can't join.
Would be nice move for the Alumn to be able to join, don't you think?
That would be nice.
Frankly, I was surprised to learn that UL students can now join the UL Credit Union.
When I was in school the students were not allowed! Did the policy change under Dr. Savoie? I wouldn't be surprised.

Debris pile next to Bancroft Hall. Looks like they are still removing asbestos. The trailer next to the backhoe is for Insul-Tech and asbestos removal company.

Lots of work going on today Saturday January 22, 2011. A concrete crew, a plumbing crew and a demolition crew. Looks like they are waiting for a foundation crew for the parking garage as not much has happened there this week. They must be held up on another job.

Close up of the concrete pumping operation. The guy in the foreground with the diagonal strap across his back is the operator for the pumper truck. The operation is by remote control.

The Credit Union and its parking lot are completely gone.

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot! (Ok, so I wouldn't call the band practice field paradise after spending 5 years marching on it.)

Also, I need a better camera.
Wow.......It's going to look extremely different.
I've always considered this art of the outskirts of campus. (Even though I spent so much time on that band field and in Angelle Hall.) Before the tower was built, the only people around were those of us in band and the people around Angelle. I think once everything is completed its going to bring a lot more people to that side of campus, make it seem more like a main part of campus.Quote:
