If I'm not mistaken, didn't Stowe's close a year or so ago? I know it's not a recent closing. Also, does anyone know where the Scott's Catfish place will be? The Leader said they'd bought land on Farmerville Hwy. 33. And what is going on on the NW corner of Arizona and S. Trenton, across from McDonald's?
Stowe's has been closed for over a year. I heard that the owner was going to have to do extensive upgrades to the electrical aspects of the building and some other safety improvements and that it was not cost effective for him to do so and try to remain in business.Quote:

The church I attend, First Baptist Ruston, just recently bought the property on the corner of Arizona and South Trenton that had the 2 old rent houses on it. We also own Rick Gallot's office location (bought it last year). We are only cleaning up the property by getting rid of all the overgrown vegetation and getting rid of the houses - they were both in really bad shape. That is it. Trying to acquire the block for our future growth.
I wonder who I would have to talk to about buying that old disco floor.Quote:

4.5 years actually, and at that time it wasn't the bar the football guys went to. It was the Que on Friday nights and Rabb's on Wednesday and Saturday Nights.Quote:

At least, I think the bar on Hwy 80 across from the old chinese restaurnant and diagonal to the Burger King was named Fargos.
Fargos, Zacks, Mothers......went through a lot of names, but the rancid beer smell remained constant.Quote:
