location needed for filming

I know Mr. Jimmy Guidry (owner of Hub City Diner) is a pretty accommodating guy… I obviously can't answer for him and say they will allow you to shoot there, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't work something out… I also 2nd the notion of Palace Cafe in Opelousas. I worked for a short time at the courthouse across the street and stopped there a couple times for lunch and the place kinda creeped me out. Definitely has an old time feel there...

Used to eat regularly at Stansbury's before it became Hub City Diner. Loved their Reuben.

Brad Boyd is our tom Cox, if you look at pics side by side the resemblance is surprising. Brad if your reading this I swear we will shoot one day.

Ha. Probably the inside of Picadilly in the oil center.

I second Alesi's, also Cafè Vermilionville could work too.

Dwight's has a Piccadilly style buffet line. The seating walls are semi antique and Cajun flavored though.

Petroleum Club is in the oil center and has several rooms/halls that could give you a few different looks.

didnt brad boyd play one of the kentucky players in glory road.

he still had the same high and tight

Lagneaux's has a very 70's feel with the brown paneling, I find the place is rather "gloomy" for a movie shoot.

Ken Veron owns/runs Cafe Vermilionville. Ken is a very friendly guy that is down to earth, a UL graduate, supports local music/film and is easy to talk to. Filming at his place sounds like something he would be up for.

The Palace Cafe looks just as it did in the 60's, definitely has an old time feel.

Wouldn't the fanciest place up in Ruston work?
