RISE & Shine on Louisiana's Campus

[CajunAmos]

Here is the list so far...

A new development, called University Plaza, will soon start construction between Lamar Street and McKinley Street. The current buildings on this block are the former Gallagher's/Line Backers, a C-Store, and a few residential lots. See below for plan layout photos.

University Plaza will be home to about 11 tenants, 3 of which have already been confirmed. Those tenants are:

• Yobe Frozen Yogurt

• Zeus

• Dick's Wings and Grill

Dick's Wings and Grill is a Florida-based franchise that serves much of what you'd expect from a wingery & grill. Most of you already know about Yobe Yogurt, and Zeus. If not, then do yourself a favor, click their names in the list. You will be lead to their sites for more info!

The new development has several proposed retail locations, as well as a grocery location. It will also have plenty of customer parking, but ultimately, it is designed for the college crowd that commute by way of walking or biking. Almost all of the vehicle parking will be behind the development — leaving the front for bicycle parking, and appeal.

For more information on this development, get in touch with Charles Cornay.

Man, I spent plenty of late nights/early mornings at that IHOP.

The facility is scheduled for completion by Fall 2019.Will be interesting to see the retail that occupies the site.

Since it's eating the space where the current RedZone is located, I'm assuming that will be the retail space referenced in the planning?

Yeah: although I've not heard anything official about who the tenants will be, etc., I'm very sure there will be a new and expanded RedZone as part of the retail space.

What about Love Works or Crave? Will they be in there?

One of the things I found interesting was 632 parking space for 600 new beds. I would have thought there would be addition parking but that may fall within the parameters on how they estimate parking for apartments.

Both of these projects are fantastic for the Campus area. T-Joe is doing a great job getting student housing up to par and promoting growth for the University. The other project is much needed updated retail for the area, and will spur more development. Can't wait to see the plans for the new Engineering building, spent a lot of time in the old one, a little nastalgia about it, but not that much, a replacement is sorely needed.

Learning how to use your K&E DeciLon?

Ha! If I haven't learned by now, I don't think I'm going to! Actually, I don't think I've ever even touched one. EE Computer option, we didn't have too. I will say though looking back, one class I did enjoy that was not in my direct field was statics, can't say the same for thermodynamics though. Multics was our biggest tool, and that experience did come in handy.

I will never forget Dr. Anderson standing on a chair in front of the Thermodynamics class proclaiming that "steam was not an ideal gas". I thought to myself, "well yeah thats why we have the steam tables". I guess some did not want to take the time to look up the required information in the steam tables and just apply ideal gas theory to steam.

I guess I'm a little older since the first programmable calculators where just starting to show up and weren't allowed for classes. Those used magnetic strip readers or replaceable modules depending on manufacturer (TI or Block lettering and how to use a slide rule used to be one of the first classes. My Fortran class required using the IBM tape drive computer with key punch cards located in Martin Hall.
