I understand from a previous post that Starbuck's caught fire. Is it open or closed? BTW, if I wanted a bag of freshly-ground coffee (in or around Ruston), where should I go?

Back in the day, they weren't too many places around that served a good breakfast buffet in Ruston, and I see where Shoney's out of 67 has closed. It was either Pete's Donuts or McDonald's. What...

All right, this is for all our resident gourmands out there...whose got the best barbecue (and iced tea) in and around the Ruston area?

I'm not sure whether it's changed or not, but I can tell you that I had that double cheesburger combo many eons ago when my digestive capabilities were a lot better than they are today!

Okay, I realize this thread is a departure from the subject matter somewhat, but I have a two-part request. One, does anyone know of someone in the Ruston area that sells honey, and two, is it too...

Where is Rabb's located?

Are there any independently-owned steakhouses in Ruston and surrounding areas? I'm sure the national chains have a location or two in Ruston, but I would like to try a good steak/baked potato combo...

Back in the mid-70's, living on campus for 4 years, we didn't have a lot to choose from in the way of eating joints, unless you traveled to either Monroe or Shreveport. I can tell you that I...

Is Stow's still open? I think it is, but I wanted to check to see if it was opened and how much it has changed. Actually, local folklore has it that during the Civil War, it served as a...

Okay folks, I'm waxing nostalgic at the moment. Does anybody remember going to Kelly's (or is it Kelley's?) over around Columbia to get frozen mixed drinks? I had my first taste of rice boudin over...

Last fall (October), when I returned to LTU, I was shocked to see that Starbucks has invaded the bucolic hamlet of Ruston. When I was there in the mid to late 70's, it was Pete's (I think) Donut...
