that was a super quick shot, maybe they will show more of the city during the movie.

This story sounds so crazy! I think there's more to it, it just seems so strange to me that they would shoot somebody they didn't know through there door.

"Spinosa son shot, recovering

Chris Spinosa, son of developer Tommy Spinosa Jr., is "awake, alert and joking" this afternoon in his hospital room at Baton Rouge General, where he is recovering from surgery to remove a bullet from his abdomen, according to a Spinosa family statement. The 26-year-old Spinosa was shot early Monday morning by an Orchid Street homeowner after apparently mistaking the home for his own and trying to enter. According to a police report, Spinosa took a taxicab back to his neighborhood after a night out drinking with friends and tried to enter the wrong home. The homeowner and his wife called 911 and also yelled through the door for Spinosa to go away, but when he moved they thought he was reaching for a weapon and shot him through the door. In a statement released this afternoon, the family said: "We are thankful to announce that Chris is aware and responsive. The Spinosa family would like to thank the doctors and staff at Baton Rouge General for their care of Chris and everyone who has expressed their concern. We look forward to Chris' recovery and his return home.""

Bing is starting to add their own street view system. I think I might have seen the Bing car the other day, I drove past this car that looked like a Transformer in mid transformation. Also I wonder if Google and Microsoft made a deal. Google started street view and now their adding adding angled birds-eye and Bing is doing vice versa.

[all2neat]

I know a coworker of mine saw the google streetview car on Tigerbend in early March. He drove beside it for about a mile waving and trying to get on camera haha.

-From Kevin Serrin, Chairman of the Capitol City Alliance, a Baton Rouge-based organization supporting equality:

I’d like to share with you an unfortunate incident of recent anti-gay discrimination in Baton Rouge. Here are the facts:

• On Saturday, August 8, 2010 a gay couple entered Southern Style Granite (SSG) on Airline Highway (address listed below) in Baton Rouge shopping for a remodeling project.

• One of the owners of SSG, Darren Cifreo, specifically asked the two gentlemen if they were in a relationship with each other. After confirming that they are, Mr. Cifreo told them that SSG does not work with “Your Kind” and told them to leave the showroom

I mean, I'd say im shocked such blatant discrimination is still talking place in 2010, but I am not shocked at all, why, because we live in Baton Rouge. I know I'll make sure this company never ends up on any of our suppliers list, at my firm. What are y'alls thoughts?

Your assuming these events are true, because it was posted on a blog?

[Antrell Williams]

If it is true, it's a shame.

Don't flatter yourself. I didn't dig up your post. It was on the previous page and this thread was at the top of the forum because it had a new post.

Notice how you continue to ignore my post about "Liberalism and Cortana Mall?" My point is proven, thank you....

If I wanted to talk to you on some other thread I would have responded to you. For you to badger me on a different thread is childish.

^ Guys, let's be adults and act all grown up here. If you have a problem with someone else's opinion, you have various methods of staying out of it...you can hide the person from showing up in your view for example...or just ignore them all together. I realize everyone feels the need to defend their position, but I'm pretty sure we're all capable of not stooping to this level when making a post in a public forum.

Neo,

I've tried the block feature, however it caused more problems then is solved. When one individual is trolling a forum and the entire conversation revolves around their posts, if your block them, you end up feeling left out of the conversation and confused, because you can still see your friends posts replying to the person that you blocked. I'll consider using the feature again if this becomes anymore of an issue.

I've been a member of Urban Planet since '07 and have never had an issue, until now, so hopefully things can be resolved. Thank you for your input.

I'll bite....since no one else will. I'm going to assume that by "liberalism", we are not actually referencing liberal policies, but democratic ones that some refer to as "progressive" (As a true liberal, I hate the way those terms are being redefined...but that's another conversation).

Maybe the supporters of the Great Society drove all the wallets away from the area? It's not a new trend. Young thugs bring noise and crime...but very little purchasing power. Perkins Rowe seems to be following that path too.

Although I think that the free market answered in a way that only proves what a bad location combined with a lack of proper investment can do to a business. Cortana needs to reinvent itself. Lots of malls do.

How is PR going downhill?

[dan326]

^Lots and lots of kids just hanging out.

[itsjustme3]

True. That's the movie theatres fault plus parents dropping off their kids at PR likes it's some sort of daycare.

There's also a article of BR Biz Report that the developer (Spianzo?) talks about plans for a 166 room hotel in the works.

Wouldn't say it's going downhill.

Edited April 8, 2011 by itsjustme2

[dan326]

Lol, Spinoza They also plan to add another hotel after the one you're taking about and a couple 100,000 more square feet of retail. Of course, this'll all be years in the make, probably like the Mall and the Boulevard.

[itsjustme3]

Yes, it probably will take years thanks to the crappy economy. PR also has the available land.
