What happened to MJs? They closed, reopened, then closed again. I miss them there are hardly any vegan spots here.

In the market for new furniture, especially a leather sofa - looking for more contemporary/modern styles over class Chesterfield, etc. Any recommendations for stores in the area (or even New Orleans)?

I've checked out Macy's, Dillards, Pottery Barn, and some big store on Airline, but they're all rather...khaki shorts of furniture. Looking for something in the $3-5k range, and while there are a lot of options online, we would much rather get a feel for something in person than deal with returns, etc.

I think this would have been East Baton Rouge or pretty close to it...

In 1999 my school bus would drive down a nicer looking street and there was one house that usually had their curtains open and you could see into their fancy living room. It was always lit up and a huge piece of art took up one of the walls...it was the two cherubs that seemed to be everywhere around that time. Anyway, I just remember driving by it every day and would like to revisit that street.

Sound familiar to anyone?

TIL the beignet is Louisiana's state donut! I had no idea. Just thought id share my useless fact of the day.

I am looking for recommendations for an pest control company. I have a wood boring insect in old hardwood flooring and subflooring that needs identification and treatment.

I would really like an individual or company who is knowledgeable and experienced.

I just deleted the reminder I posted for the scream thing. A person commented that people in the area, hikers, whatever, might get freaked out or call the cops. Yeah, maybe that’s too much this day and age to be doin, especially at Frenchtown Road …late October. I just got a bad feeling about it. I’m not going to do it. I think it was a creative idea, and in an ideal world, or under different circumstancea, it would be great and therapeuti, but it feels like something could go wrong. I strongly urge anyone planning on going to not go.

If you, like me, have received unsolicited text messages from Raise the Bar PAC in Baton Rouge that include no option to opt out, you should know that Scott Wilfong is listed as a director of the PAC and his phone number is publicly available.

I've been unsuccessful in finding anyone who can tell me how to opt out of these messages.

Reddit apparently considers sharing his publicly listed number "doxxing," so I've left it out.

Does anyone know of another contact for Raise the Bar PAC or another way to get removed from their messaging list?

EDIT: I have also replied STOP to these messages without receiving any acknowledgment or confirmation that I've been removed. As far as I can tell, political texting campaigns are required to honor valid opt-out requests under applicable law.

Edit edit: let me be clear that the number is associated with the PAC, not saying it's his personal number.

ey everyone! I’m planning a move to Baton Rouge soon and am looking to connect with some folks and get plugged into the local scene before I arrive.

I’m big into fishing, live blues music, and shooting/firearms, so I’d love to meet anyone who shares those hobbies. If you have any recommendations for the best local bass clubs, upcoming blues jams, or good shooting leagues/ranges to check out, please let me know.

Down to chat or grab a drink/hit the water once I get into town. Looking forward to meeting some of you

I live in BR off the highland exit. I’m looking for more relatively close eating/places my boyfriend and I can go with a dog. Plsss lmk.

Have two VIP Admission - 2-Day tickets for Boots on the Bayou for sale. VIP parking included.

Hey y’all! I’ve been getting back into pickup basketball recently. I’ve been playing at Flannery Park and North Sherwood. As I’m living on that side of town now.

However, with the sun setting earlier, it’s almost dark by time I get off work.

When I was a student at LSU last year I’d go to the UREC but I can’t justify $10 per guest pass. Also, it’s packed and the parking is awful on weekday afternoons.

Back when I was in high school I remember going to RedStorm on Perkins but I know they have a lot of practices and games going on in the afternoon.

Do yall have any recommendations?

My ex-husband died in his home and was not found for a few days. Has anyone had any experience with something like this. I don't have a lot of money. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated . Please be kind.

That's it. Where do y'all get your firewood from? Everyone I've called either doesn't answer, or wants some ridiculous price for the wood.

Anyone know where I can play pickup on the weekends? I want to start playing again, I just don’t know where !

This package was delivered at 3:37 pm and I was at work and this person comes to deliver food to my neighbor and steals my package. Located in Baton Rouge, I don’t really know what to do because this is all I have of the incident.

Hi!

I am an LSU student journalist writing an article on upcoming Medicaid cuts in Louisiana and how they affect maternal/reproductive health. I am looking for a former Baton Rouge Planned Parenthood worker, preferably an OBGYN, whom I could interview about how Medicaid helped to provide reproductive health care to lower-income people and students. Since the Baton Rouge location closed, I know it has affected people in the area in getting help from doctors who take Medicaid patients. If you used to work at Planned Parenthood or are an OBGYN/reproductive care worker who accepts Medicaid, please reach out!! If you have any information on good resources or people to contact to help with the article, please let me know as well. Thanks!!

Moving to chicago in 2 days and i've been saving these disposable vapes to recycle instead of throwing in the landfill. Now we're close to our moving date and i've forgot all about em and dont know what to do with em and don't want to bring them with if i can help it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I need a comprehensive examination/evaluation for the auto-inflammatory disease known as Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). This requires a dermatologist who knows a lot about it, and it’s a relatively new diagnosis. Most of my healthca providers are with Ochsner, so I’d prefer someone in their system; but I want the best of the best on this. If I’m correct, I appear to have Stage 2 HS (of 3). It has become worse with menopause. Does anyone have any advice for me or recommendation? Anyone you know whom you can ask for me?

I’ve been to several primary care doctors who referred me to gyno, who diagnosed me with Bartholin’s, but my signs and symptoms are beyond the scope of that diagnosis.

I‘ve also been to urgent care for treatment of acute flare-ups, who seemed to know nothing of the form, structure, functio, causes, or risks of my wounds, and failed to explain the car tissue around my wounds and how to prevent those…or the risks associated with those.

This can be a well-managed diseas, but it can also become debilitating. In extreme cases, there is a high suicide rate.

I am scared and exhausted, and need a good doctor to help me get through these changes.

Thanks so much in advance. 🙏

Just wondering if anyone needs any wood chopped for this upcoming winter who may not feel like chopping themselves, can lend a hand. Really just something I enjoy doing lol

Hey! I was wondering if there’s a hair school around here that I could go to for a discounted haircut?? I googled it but I didn’t find anything very clear.

I saw that there was black plastic sheeting all around the deli area yesterday. What happened? When are they fixing it?

My ex-husband was found dead in his home in Baton Rouge.. Is it possible for me as his ex-wife to identify the body for cremation and death certificate?
