I was giving you a time line of events not just a why. You may be right about the move to Jefferson Street, but the strip died before Jefferson Street took off.
Take a close look at New Orleans student enrollment at Louisiana before and after the 2am edict and tell me it had no bearing on perception.
I Worked on the strip and downtown during all of it, I know what happened. Downtown took off well before the strip died but everywhere was 21 and over. Bars started letting in under 21, ran out the older crowd that was going downtown, killed the strip and Jefferson became the new strip. The strip has/had been closing at 2 for a long time and was still the place to be.
We might be talking about different time frames. I'm refering to a period when Jefferson Street had almost nothing.
The topic was party town.
When the strip closed (whatever time it was) there were dozens of places to continue the party. Then the Parish wide 2am closing and then adjacent Parish 2am and UL enrollment dropped, stagnated and plateaued for several years.
“Rankings” are a great way to get clicks/impressions/etc. if you have a good ranking you’ll talk about it. If you have a bad ranking you’ll _____ about it. This is how a nothing account like big game boomer gets so much traction when in reality it is ranking based on absolutely nothing except, apparently, some boomer. Can’t stand it. I had to ignore the page because I always see that crap “___ replied to…”
No, I just felt like blabbing about something I know absolutely nothing about. Yes, I've been to San Marcos & it's a crappy little town of about 50,000 people squeezed in between Austin which is one of the party capitals of the world & San Antonio which is another place to go for a huge amount of stuff to do. But hey, if you like tubing with an ice chest of beer, or floating the river, it's a cool little place. I wouldn't classify it a college party capital. Now please school me up.
