Today's Tangent: West Louisiana Ave.

Let me tell you a story. A story about a little known street called West Louisiana Ave (WLA).

Once upon a time, WLA was the best kept secret on Louisiana Tech Campus. Students could park with ease, walking straight to Keeney Hall without a care in the world.

Unlike other streets, WLA had a one-way traffic flow. This meant that traffic flowed at a regular rate with little inconsistency.

And then, the dark times came. Upon getting to campus that day, WLA was blocked off. All of the secret parking spots had been taken away. As if to add insult to injury, WLA was no longer a one way for its direction had been changed to a two-way.


My heart sank to a depth so deep that I fear it may never surface again. So I raise my glass to you, WLA. You were a true friend who provided close parking, shaded walks, and never asked for anything back. You may be gone, West Louisiana Ave., but you are not forgotten.
