Has there been any development on LaSalle?

Friend of mine, up here in Chicago, took his daughter down to Texas to visit Baylor, A&M, UT, SMU, and TCU last month. Unfortunately they got down to the BU and made some wrong turns which lead them down to LaSalle and then down some side streets from there and his daughter did NOT like what she saw (apparently they saw some shady stuff going down) and it creeped her out.

I know what LaSalle was like back in the 90s (I remember a BU student went into the strip joint down there and came out in a stretcher and spent several days in the hospital).

Anyway, she crossed off BU and fell in love with TCU. At least it only took 10 minutes of Aggie propaganda to immediately turn her off when she visited down there. She doesn't own a BMW so SMU was out too as it was very apparent to the family the standards of SMU.
Yeah Lasalle has always been an eyesore. I did see some new apartments off of Lasalle that made it look a little newer and nicer.

Pretty sure the Elite's masculinity had withered and fallen off.

I'm not better than a Steak N Shake Frisco Melt, and their fries are pretty awesome. Skinny cut = more crunchy surface area per volume of potato. Its science. You could argue it, but you'd be wrong.

Damn straight, and a blue star for throwing math/science into food evaluation.

Yeah, it was a pretty sad there at the end of its days. Only reason to go was their happy hour prices on margaritas and appetizers. BTW, their beer-battered onion rings were the worst onion rings I've ever had. They lost whatever magic they had a long time ago.

I've seen two S&S's go out of business because they could not compete with the other fast food restaurants around them. If Fast Food is the low end of the food scale, S&S is the low end of Fast Food.

When Bigalari bought the S&S franchise, the quality seemed to go down. It was great in the St. Louis area before being bought out.

But it's not fast food. It's a diner. Yes, there is a difference. It's a Mid-West pleasure. But the quality has slipped in recent times.

Wait, that was what you were basing your assessment on? Ever been to one? I haven't honestly, so I can't judge. But, it's a bit naive to judge the quality of the food and restaurant on anecdotal evidence of two instances then judge the entire enterprise as below the low end of food.

My wife grew up on S&S. She says it is not what it used to be. She says Freddys is the equivalent of what S&S used to be minus the great orange S&S shakes.

At Los Cucos for the second time. Lots to like about this place and lots to hate. Could be a really good spot if they work out the kinks.

Liplocker
my last 3 meals on earth will be:

Kitok's double liplocker with cheese, oriental fries and a cherry coke

Luby's fried fish, extra tartar sauce, fried okra, and a double portion of macaroni and cheese

Poppa Rollos hamburger pizza with a side of jalapenos and ranch dressing to dip it in.

Then I will be prepared to meet my Maker.
