Ask Chris Thomas King where the blues was born, and you'll get a firm answer: Louisiana, not the Mississippi Delta. That argument is the heart of the Blues Origin Institute, a Louisiana nonprofit King founded in March 2023.

Best Stop turns 40 as Scott Boudin landmark celebrates growth

What started as a small neighborhood supermarket with a gravel parking lot and a handful of gas pumps has become one of Acadiana’s most recognizable food brands for the four decades. The Best Stop Supermarket will celebrate its 40th anniversary Sunday, Nov. 1, at its original Scott location, with Cajun food, family traditions, and community ties that have helped turn a local meat market into a business with customers across the country. The celebration marks exactly 40 years since Robert Cormier and Lawrence “Brud” Menard opened The Best Stop on Nov. 1, 1986, when South Louisiana faced economic challenges tied to the region’s oil downturn. Their vision was simple: provide quality groceries and authentic Cajun products while serving the community they called home. Through the years, that family-run operation evolved into far more than a neighborhood grocery store. Today, The Best Stop is known throughout Louisiana and beyond for its boudin, sausage, cracklins and other specialty foods. The company has expanded with locations in Louisiana and Texas, ships products nationwide and operates a USDA-certified wholesale manufacturing facility that supplies customers well beyond Acadiana. Despite its growth, family members say the business remains rooted in the values that helped build its

From French Quarter brick to an empty Macy's: Acadiana Mall in Lafayette, LA after Sears and Forever 21

Acadiana Mall opened in Lafayette in 1979 with the French Quarter worked into its interior. Brick covered the walkways; wrought iron and old-fashioned lamps carried the theme. By 7 a.m. in later years, the walkers were already inside, and Christmas brought Santa. Many shoppers came in through the food-court doors, past a five-screen cinema.

Another has been cooking the same stuffed turkey wing recipe since 1968.
