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.

Judice inn, lagneauxs,

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

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

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.

Check out the Palace Cafe in Opelousas. Still looks like it did in the 60's.

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?

Ground Pati on Johnston

Well, I know for a fact Charlie G's rents out their restaurant for all kinds of filming.

Someone mentioned the Picadilly on Govt. in BR. True, it is closed, not sure what's in there, but it had that 60s vibe the time or two that I went in there.

Catholic High School is located behind the strip center where the closed Pic is located. A group associated with Catholic High owns the center (I don't think the school owns it, could be wrong) and has taken possession of said Picadilly. Also, there are several "retro" shops in that area that could supply any needed props.

Douglas, if you are interested in this, let me know. Ken is my brother in-law.
