Re: Logan's Roadhouse Coming to DAWGTOWN
At least we are getting more places. It took the alcohol law change to do it,but they are finally here.
Re: Logan's Roadhouse Coming to DAWGTOWN
What we need is for the blue laws to be gone and Ruston will be more fun. Midnight closing sucks...they should at least extend it to 2AM.

I drive through Ruston on Friday evening will confirm this. there tons of folks downtown to visit one of the restaurants in that area. Its becoming very popular.

You've already got that on the service road. Why is it important to have it in the city limits too?
JMO, but the local eateries need to be part of the down town development while the chains stay out by the interstate. Monroe/West Monroe is proof that a local restaurant will not make it if they are depending on interstate traffic.

When campus stretches to downtown and there is a pedestrian walkway from campus to railroad park, it would be nice to have options for late night dining and drinking without the dangers of the service road

Why not? Downtown is dead. There is no night life in the city of Ruston. Their are only 2 or 3 options to go for late night entertainment in a college town.

Re: Logan's Roadhouse Coming to DAWGTOWN
Update on restaurants coming to Ruston:
Santa Fe Cattle Co. - Yes
Logans - Not looking good to probably not
Restaurant that must remain confidential but should excite everyone - being explored and is very likely :D
I'll disclose it as soon as I am allowed.
Re: Logan's Roadhouse Coming to DAWGTOWN
People always say Ruston should abolish the blue laws.
What would it take to bring that to a vote? Wouldn't take much to get the student population to latch onto that if they had leadership that knew how to see it through.
Its happening in Starkville right now. Mayor can't be 33.

How do you eat an elephant?
One bite at a time -
Pick the NEXT most logical step and proceed to that - which would include a trip and study to Oxford MS and similar towns to see how THEY make it work
And to me that would be the establishment of an entertainment district downtown - get that in existence and the alcohol based laws can be changed quite simply...
Technically - blue laws deals with the sale of all goods on Sundays there fore blue laws are not what this is about...
This problem is the hours of operation of local establishments and the hours they can serve adult beverages - this is a LIQUOR law, not a BLUE law
Try and FORCE it and you will get a wall built up that may never be brought down -
Re: Logan's Roadhouse Coming to DAWGTOWN
Ruston gossip is that the old Ford dealership location Logans was looking at has some serious environmental issues. Not sure if that is true but that is the rumor. Also heard a rumor that the Davison's are invested in the Santa Fe steakhouse and shut down the Logans plan (I do not believe it). Must be tough being the big mover and shaker in town, you get very little cerdit for the good you do but the blame for everything, regardless if you are involved or not.
