re: 1990s Highland Taco Bell

There was definitely a Taco Bell over there. It was located about where the CVS on Highland is now. That place got some business. The line getting in was a mile long on Friday and Saturday nights. Then it burned down. I was surprised it wasn't rebuilt.

It was starting to earn a reputation for motorists being held up in the drive-thru line. It truly seemed like just about every other male student in my classes at LSU had a story to tell of getting robbed in the Taco Bell drive-thru line the night before. Sounded to me like it could have been the same serial robber doing the hold-ups over and over again.
One night a few weeks before it burned down, there was a very bad hold-up INSIDE of the Taco Bell where I think that a bunch of patrons got robbed in addition to the cashier. The bad PR from that robbery seems to have scared off a lot of potential patrons, especially at night. Then the place burned down. Corporate headquarters decided not to reopen it, I'm guessing because of a decline of sales, but again I'm sure that if that were the case then the sales would have rebounded right back up again once the memories of the hold-up had faded away.
