40 years of drive-thru daiquiris
By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor The Fairfields neighborhood has seen enough. This is the neighborhood where a 3-year-old boy was killed by a stray bullet while in his own bed, and a man was shot and killed last weekend. One lady we spoke to says she's developed a routine of rolling out of bed and onto the floor whenever she hears gunfire. It's hard to believe it's been 40 years since Louisiana has had drive-through daiquiri shops. Our Acadiana business editor caught up with the businessman who took on Lafayette's city government to fight for our right to party (after driving somewhere and then unsealing our Styrofoam cup). And we break down last night's Saints game. And talk about a breakdown! |
