In football parlance, you can't become a winner with a fourth-rate team......... That, ain't no jive ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:40:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5763 Ay Angela, in louisiana a subway would necessitate a wet suit," GOT IT "! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:25:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5711 This is a big FYI to all of the yahoos present! There is no such thing as UL (University of Louisiana) It is the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Just like the University of Louisiana of Louisiana at Monroe. So boys & girls get over it!! UL does not exist, except in ya'll minds!!! - northsidian Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:51:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5706 Jesus, as time goes on, the dollar value declines, and costs increase, THE CAMILLA BRIDGE FINALIZATION IS ""SIAMESE BOUND TO THE LOOP CONSTRUCTION"""! THE ESCALATING NUMBER OF PARVENU who were purchasing the Ambassador Caffery parkway, " future loop", right of way were stumbling all over the drool of their own crony peeps, scrambling to grab land from the unsuspecting land owners......after studying the plats........THE SAME SCENERIO FOR THE ACADIANA MALL! SHEEET GO TO THE COURT RECORDS AND SEE WHO OWNED THE LAND UNDER THE AMBASSADOR ROAD AND THE LAND ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD ,THE LAND UNDER CAMELLIA BLVD. AND SURROUNDING MASS OF LAND BORDERING CAMELLIA, RIVER RANCH, THE WHOLE CA-CA POT, WHEN THE TIME CONSTRUCTION BEGAN, THE DUST HAD SETTLED..... "ITS CALLED PROGRESS, AND IT IS TIGHTLY CONTROLLED BY OUR GOVERNING ADMINISTRATION.... THATS ? " WHY ITS CALLED A RAT RACE, ONLY RATS ARE ALLOWED TO GORGE". - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:41:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5704 Light Rail?? They don't even have a sidewalk between the Hilton Hotel & the Blue Dog Cafe!! They need to worry about now, because in 50 years we may belong to China!! - nor t hsidian Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:32:03 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5690 Light rail? Why not a subway? - Angela Davis Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:55:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5689 Converting Johnston to a boulevard is a fantastic idea. The light rail is a pipe dream at best. We already have a loop. Its called Ambassador Caffery Parkway. It was built on the outskirts of the city as a loop believe it or not. But somehow, once the mall was built, along came walmart and all the big box stores, with way too many red lights. thats progress for ya. - Southsider Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:44:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5686 HEY DUREL LETS PRETEND THAT IN THIS AREA CONSISTING OF LAFAYETTE PARISH, THERE ARE MANY TAX PAYING CITIZENS, COULD'NT YOU POSSIBLY THROW THEM A CRUMB! "" DAMMIT"! SPOOF ONE PROJECT THAT WILL BENEFIT ALL THE AREA VOTERS! JESUS, "YOU ARE EATEN UP WITH THE COUILLIONDRUM, YOU'RE REALLY BEING AN OBVIOUS CHUMP ! EVERY PROJECT REVOLVES AROND THE INNER-CITY, THE CITY'S GROWTH, THE BEAUTIFACTION OF THE CITY,ETC! JESUS, YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR ROLE OF CITY MAYOR, YOUR CRONYS HAVE'NT CLUED YOU TO YOUR TRUE ROLE, THAT OF BEING """THE PARISH PRESIDENT" ! YOUR APPEARANCES WITH T-JOE DOES NOT GIVE YOU ANY ADDITIONAL CREDIBILITY, T-JOE NEEDS TO CARE FOR UL, AND YOU SHOULD SHAKE YOUR CRONYS AND PROP YOURSELF UP ALONE........ - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:12:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5684 THE CAMELLIA BRIDGE DELAY WAS DUE TO ALL THE SLICKERS NOT HAVING PROPERTY PURCHASES FINALIZED BECAUSE SOME PEEPS WERE NOT EASILY,OR SPEEDILY JEWED OUTTA THEIR LAND HOLDINGS, ALSO THE CITY OF LAFAYETTE LEADERSHIP, COULD NOT COME TO TERMS WITH THE DIVISION OF THE PIE .... VIOLA ! A CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP, ALL LAND TRANSFERS FINALIZED, "" THE PIE STEADILY INCREASED IN QUANITY DUE TO ???????? AND EVERYONE WAS ECSTATIC OVER THEIR SLICE OF """ THE PIE, DAS ALL FOLKS ! DUREL'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE A CHANGE OF JOB STATUS FOR HIMSELF PERSONALLY, AND HIS CO-HORTS !!!!! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:50:44 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5683 I agree the rail transportation is stupid. Its just stupid. And I'm not so sure about Johnston St. because I think most of the owners/renters of buildings on that road will revolt. And I think the cost would be astronomically prohibitive. Now, for the record, I want city/parish government out of the business of the iniversity and the university to see to its own business. Before dollars got tight, each was just fine minding their own business and that is how I believe it should stay! I don't trust either one to do business with the other and the past university's president's attempt to make another sweetheart deal with and for his friends come to mind..... - Morrow Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:48:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5682 Exactly who's gonna pay for this? They can't even pay the bills they have now (either of them - UL or LCG). - Money Wed, 03 Feb 2010 12:38:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5618#comment-5670 ● Conversion of Johnston Street into a boulevard ● Light rail transporation within the city Are you kidding me? It took 50 years to get a damn bridge built across the Vermilion. Keep dreaming. Anyway, they are both terrible ideas for Lafayette - Let's restrict traffic on the major artery through Lafayette and build a transport that NOBODY will use. If anyone thinks people in Lafayette will abandon their cars and use mass transit is crazy. Lafayette is not even laid out in a way that makes it feasible for most people. This is not NYC people. What is really needed is a loop around the city so traffic will stop clogging the residential streets. - ace Wed, 03 Feb 2010 01:46:51 +0100
