Anybody remember when it was Booties? Server came to table and she looked like she'd been up for two days and on the comedown, all strung out

That spot reminds of me of the Tokyo at the corner of Ambassador and Johnston. Before Tokyo finally stuck, it was Bennigans, Shenanigans, and Tilted Kilt.
I only went once to Drago’s for a Krewe Allons event. I thought the food was decent. Never good to see a pro-UL business closing doors. Hopefully whatever lands there next breaks the curse.
If that is the case, I hope the place stays unleased for a long time.
The same thing happened downtown. We went downtown to eat at a restaurant I had never been to before, Cafe Luna. Well, when we get to the address we find it had closed the week before. Same reason, the owner jacked up the rent significantly. And this was after the tenants revamped their bar (so I was told since i never made it inside); in hindsight they should have renegotiated the lease before they invested in the upgrade, but sometimes you just don't expaec the greed!
They have two locations in Lake Charles and I made it a point to visit one while we were in town a few months back. I found it to be a neat place with good food and atmosphere. Too bad they have such a bad memory of Lafayette.
I give The Chimes..at the gates of River Ranch..five years. Lafayette is a very fickled town when it comes to food and entertainment. Same thing with whatever they're building at the Randol's site. Top Golf, Dave and Buster's, all the same. There is only so much discretionary money to go around. Novelty and newness, then forgotten. WalkOns...ain't what it was at the beginning, had not been in a few years.
When that interchange at Ambassador and 90 is complete, there is your next hot zip code. Ask any local old timer...in a rough 50 years window, went from 70501 to '06 to '03 to '08.
