So, the other day I headed over to David’s Tiger Express. I’d heard some chatter about it and figured, why not give it a shot? This place, it’s been around since ’98, started by James and Jeannie David. It’s a local spot in Central, and they’ve got this convenience store and a Dairy Queen all rolled into one. I pulled up to the place, 12021 Hooper Road, you know, a regular-looking building, nothing too fancy.
Walked in, and it’s your typical convenience store vibe. Grabbed a menu, because I was curious about what they had to offer. They serve breakfast and lunch, and I gotta say, their cinnamon rolls looked pretty tempting. I noticed they’re open from 6 AM to 9 PM, but the deli closes an hour earlier. And, oh yeah, they’re closed on Sundays.
- Checked out their Instagram, davidstigerexpress.
- Saw they post their weekly and daily menus, which is pretty handy.
- I thought, “This place is really about feeding the community, one hot lunch at a time.”
My Little Experiment
Now, I’m no physics expert, but I got this idea from somewhere about testing inertia. So, I took a table and some random stuff from the store, placed them on top. I wanted to see if I could yank the tablecloth out without messing everything up, just like in those science videos, you know? I pulled it really quick, and guess what? Most of the stuff just stayed there! It was pretty cool, though I did knock over a couple of things. Don’t worry, I put everything back. It wasn’t perfect but hey, it’s all about having a bit of fun and learning something, right?
I also tried another thing with some shopping carts. I saw a truck moving, and I thought, “What if I let a few carts roll out?” So, I did. They rolled out pretty fast, wheels doing their thing. It was just a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing, you know, seeing physics in action. I made sure to not cause any trouble, though. Gathered the carts up afterward, no harm done.
All in all, it was an interesting day at David’s Tiger Express. Tried some food, did a couple of silly experiments, and just soaked in the local vibe. It’s not just a store; it’s a part of the community, and I got to see that firsthand. If you’re ever in Baton Rouge, you might want to swing by. Just don’t go pulling tablecloths or rolling carts, okay? Leave that to the goofballs like me.
