Ryan Street

If you're in the mood for Mexican food, but still want to satisfy those Louisiana Cajun flavor cravings, Tia Juanita's Fish Camp of Ryan Street is the spot to try!

Traveling north or south in Lake Charles has generally meant a trip on Ryan Street. Please take alternate routes today as city crews place barricades for this afternoon's Krew of Krewes Parade.

The downtown section of Ryan street has come to life over the last few years. More businesses have moved in and there pedestrian activity like the area has not seen in years. Restaurants and bars have joined the shops and made the area an entertainment hub for day time and evening hours. Now the entertainment moves to the street corners.

If you travel I-10 West to go to work downtown and take the Ryan Street exit ... you may want to plan a little extra time for your drive beginning Monday.

I would think most crooks would dream of robbing a bank, armored truck, or even a liquor store ... But Wing Stop? Really?

I'm sure you remember the traffic delays caused by the construction at the corner of Prien Lake Road and Ryan Street a while back. The intersection is much more user-friendly now but there were growing pains. Now the growing pains move downtown.

So you ask...what does that picture to the left have to do with The Best Places to watch the Mardi Gras parade? As we saw in a previous posting, there is a alteration to this years parade, and this is the end result of David Kaye's Portrayal of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride..
