You get it, like have a city administrator's wife get a real estate license from Sears, and pocket the commission from the sale, the Parish could join the city and develope a site such as Golly-World, and name it COUllION-WORLD, this would be a great progressional move for "ALL, TERM-LIMIT POLITICIANS IN LAFAYETTE PARISH. You know who I'm talkin bout. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 13 May 2011 03:12:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17661 There you go "S GOMEZ, trying to promote the purchase of the Winn-Dixie bldg. Would it be a crony-ownership of the Winn-Dixie bldg., hah it would have to be, after being pushed by the parish administrator-powers that be, as the new dummy-ed. school. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 13 May 2011 02:58:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17636 Sorry, boudin. - Frozen Pizza Thu, 12 May 2011 13:55:13 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17635 Hee-Hi. I can't wait for Whole-Paycheck. Will they have free range bodin? - Frozen Pizza Thu, 12 May 2011 13:53:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17613 I'm so excited about Whole Foods. Finally!!!! Just wish it would have been in the old Winn-Dixie on Ambassador. Think that would have worked better, at least for me! - S Gomez Thu, 12 May 2011 10:11:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17612 I agree Soupy, why would anyone want to setup shop on that site, GA. Well that location has been bandied about with every new offer , it must be that "THE OWNERS have an, A LA BOWEN REAL ESTATE PROFIT share system with some Parish Administrators, its funny, no its outright thievin when every "t and some i's are dotted, yet never the name of the individual, or individuals fail to appear any where in the media until the transaction is fini and the cigars smoked. How odd . - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 12 May 2011 09:19:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17607 I agree with other posters about the location. I avoid that area like the plague. With the City shifting further south, why anyone would build north of Johnston street or even north of the river is a mystery to me. All the best, Soop - Soop.

I can only imagine how bad traffic will be. This is a great addition to the City, no doubt. I just wish it wouldn't be plopped down in the middle of the worst traffic area in Lafayette. Maybe Tony Trammel has plans for a five lane roundabout to help traffic flow? - stu Thu, 12 May 2011 08:20:36 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17605 It is about time that something is done with this location. It has been an eyesore for too long. - Laszlo (Les) Josa Thu, 12 May 2011 07:15:40 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17602 Hey, could someone go to the Heymann Performing Arts Ctr. @ about 6 PM or just before the dance review starts (there are several of them, every weekend till school is out)and take a photo of the salvage yard that's developing out there. The grass needs to be cut & shrubs trimmed. Its an embarassment to Laf. & its a darned shame for people & families attending. Its a shame that for @ least $90 a dancer & $10 a ticket, patrons have limited parking near the building (due to renting out spaces to General Hospital). Now multiply that 90 bucks times every dancer in and around Lafayette parish. If you do park across the street, the storage of the machinery makes for a very dangerous situation. There is no outside security, so last night when we went to our car it was dark (limited lighting) and there were some shady characters in the parking lot (having nothing to do with the dance review). That DUMP they're passing off as the Heymann Performing Arts Center is a liabilty because if someone isn't attacked, they're going to have a terrible accident just trying to negotiate getting to the building. - Mariah Thu, 12 May 2011 06:38:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17601 Thank you, thank you, thank you LCG, LEDA, the real estate agent, the developer and anyone else who had anything to do with bringing these two stores to Lafayette!!! These chains can be very picky about where they choose to locate so all of you must have done something right! Yay Lafayette!! - Grateful citizen Thu, 12 May 2011 06:26:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17599 Thank you Mr. Durel and everyone that helped make this happen! - Congratulations...

Too many of the same type of grocers, LOCAL, I might add. I hate to see Adrien's go under. I am thrilled with Burlington however. I've shopped there before and I look forward to the good deals on quality merch. Competition is good! - BoFred Thu, 12 May 2011 04:19:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17589 Time to connect South Domingue Avenue from Ridge to Johnston Street passing behind this site to relieve some traffic on Ambassador, at least for a while. Ironic that I mentioned this parking lot in a comment earlier today. Go figure. - Jason D.

This area has been lacking...Its slow to develope its intellectual protential, for it has been so programmed to such negative thought...THOSE HEALTHY FOOD EATERS...I am dealing with the ignorance embedded within my own blood family, with a mother a diabetic, and two sisters bloated from poison of foods shoveled down their gullets...and have many problems associated with sick diets...WAKE UP...Its okay to be healthy...one does not go to hell for being healthy...brake the cycle of ignorance...(facebook)...rb - roscoe beauregard Wed, 11 May 2011 23:32:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17585 How exciting, I shop at Whole Foods in Baton Rouge every chance I get. I LOVE that store...

But why take over Ridge Rd from the state. TIF anyone? - Ophelia 46 Wed, 11 May 2011 22:26:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17583 Too bad it's a cluster f$$k of an area to get in and out of.. - Primo Wed, 11 May 2011 21:33:37 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17575 This is such great news for the Lafayette community! Hopefully this will encourage other large market companies like PF Changs and Panera Bread to consider opening locations in Lafayette as well! - cgb12255 Wed, 11 May 2011 18:33:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8282-whole-foods-burlington-coat-planned-for-old-kmart#comment-17574 Woo hoo! To hell with Fresh Market & their moody employees & boring never-changing selection. I'll be spending some dough @ WF for sure! - Christina Wed, 11 May 2011 18:13:24 +0100
