Nostalgic Lake Charles Restaurants & Stores We Wish Were Still Here

[KNGT-FM] - From time to time, we all talk about the good old days. We talk about our favorite old stores and restaurants that we would go to with our parents and our friends. We are talking about those old school stores and restaurants that we would love to shop at or go eat at that are no longer in the Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana area.

Last week, we posed this exact question to our listeners, and boy, did we get some responses. You named stores that we forgot were here back in the day, and just hearing the names of the stores brought back memories.

You even added a little extra to the question by posting names of restaurants that you used to love that were in the area that you wished we still had in the lake area. We compiled a list from you of over 150 responses, and wanted to give you a condensed list of your favorite restaurants and stores that are no longer here, but you wish they still were.
