At least one time in its life, The Campus Inn hosted a couple during a budget honeymoon. The couple dined at Triple XXX, saving their pennies for a brighter future. They made a fine life for themselves. I don't know this couple, nor do I have any reason to believe that these statements are anything but fiction. But, with every building demolition, we should remember the ghosts, or invent some sweet ones.

I am very roughly guesstimating that between downtown Lafayette, and the areas of the Levee and the Chauncey neighborhood alone there is approaching $1B of new development either in the construction phase or approved.

Dave, can you tell if the redirection of Howard will allow Nine Irish to expand their parking lot? Seems like they're going to be short on parking for quite a while with the loss of their overflow lot across the street.

I don't have a definitive answer here. I think they pick up a little room. But as for their parking plans, I'd have to ask. (That parking lot was the long-gone, bar band dive Locomotives/Riverstix/etc.)
