Every fall, the LSU students move in by the hordes and everything changes radically around here, particularly for the first couple of weeks. The light traffic we had in this area all summer becomes an insane gridlock, all of the restaurants in the area are filled to the brim and it's insane how quickly food sells out in the grocery store. I mean, I expected things like what happened last year (soup, cheap pasta goods, ramen noodles, etc.), but good grief, they've bought out all of the best cuts of meat and the best produce. It's a little weird. (Am I evil if I say I will be glad when a couple of weeks have gone by and they're all broke and back to eating ramen noodles?) (Yes, I know, evil.)
