Campus Construction

[cajunhawk]

To see these two buildings go is a joy to my heart. Countless times I was awoken in the middle of the night to calls of wasps in peoples rooms. I'm not an exterminator. I also had a pipe burst in the ground causing the parking lots to be a lake at 2 AM. Never lived there, but as a maintenance worker....bye bye.

_ 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. _

Back in the day the area where Griffin and Rougeou Halls are was called Little Abbeville. It was a collection of World War II buildings used to instruct those in the military V12 (I think) program. Where Fletcher Hall is, was the Baseball Field. Beyond that was the hinterlands that was married student housing, maintenance, the male dorms and Martin Dining hall.

Helmut I remember reading about that, and I'm pretty positive that it as the V12 program. There's a plaque by the flagpole in front of Martin Hall dedicated to it.

While where talking about back in the day, can somebody tell me what this used to be:



It's on St. Mary close to Johnston. It's behind the Burger King. I've wondered this for 6 years, since I was a freshman.

I am pretty sure that it was an apartment/house----but next door was the home of about 6 of us senior f-ball players who had just moved of campus when our careers were over---Some VERY SERIOUS parties were held at this location!!!!

It was an apartment, it caught fire back in the early 90's I believe.

I believe it was called "Dupuis Mens Dorm". It's now a terrible eye sore and should be removed..........

Thanks for letting me know!

It seems like it'd be a perfect place for a little convince store. Something that sells cigarettes, snacks and drinks, maybe even cold sandwiches and stuff. It seems like you can only get Coke products on campus, even in Follet's. With as many people that pass right there, bet somebody could make a killing.

You need to read CajunFun's article on "Bling and Blight". You are talking about going from Blight to Bling. That is not going to set well with CajunFun. Cigs, snacks and softdrinks... good Lord! You are really going to set CajunFun on fire son.

lol. I read the article on UL Today, but I didn't read too much of the comments on here. I wouldn't be offering anything that isn't available on campus!

Actually, if I have the capital to do something like that, I would, and I'd take it a step further. I see all these flyers up around school for students trying to sell old books. I'd be a "bookstore" too. I'd have a used book section. Students could leave their old books that they're trying to sell and leave their contact info with me. If somebody buys the book, I'll let the student know he can pick up his money, minus a small fee. If nobody buys the book after a semester, they can get their book back with no charge, or if they don't want it I'd give it away for free. Tell me that's not a bad idea. I'm a genius!

It's genius entrepreneurialism... and CajunFun is going to have a cow when he reads it.

Just don't try to sell po boys, because you would have trouble competing with Old Tyme across the street

I want to say late 90s, b/c I was still a student at the time.
