I’ve seen quite a few Lamborghinis on city streets in my life, possibly even two, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen three of them parked without a special event going on. Spotted in downtown Lafayette. I guess there was some kind of Lamborghini fan club meetup going on.

A couple of months I posted this funny sign in Lafayette with a 0% OFF sign and it’s now been fixed with a typical 30% OFF SALE sign.
Park Plaza Shops, Lafayette
Joe & the Juice opened recently at the Park Plaza Shops in Lafayette where Squirrel’s Coffee Shop used to be. In addition to drinks they also offer sandwiches and yogurt. Check out their menu here. I heard they tried to be edgy so wasn’t surprised that all three employees bore plenty of tattoos. I asked one employee whether tattoos were required to work there and he was speechless for a moment before replying that they weren’t. Out of curiosity I’ll have to drop by another time to see if there are tattoo-less employees.

Thanks to everyone who sent word that Boswell’s Discount Party Supplies has closed in Lafayette after 35 years due losing their lease according to a sign in the window. Their Danville location remains open. One reader wrote in hoping that the Lafayette police department takes over this space due to, “police equipment parked in the median and one further down the street toward Jack-in-the-Box.” Check out the photo below and you can see this is no exaggeration.
