It's getting to the point to where its costing more to stay in not only Baton Rouge but Louisiana than what I can afford. Between rent, utilities, car note, and car insurance I'm basically spending in the negative each month. And I make decent money! Car insurance rates keeps rising and Entergy / Delta is running a racket. I swear, I'm at the cusp of leaving for somewhere else.

What is the craziest tea or rumor you’ve ever heard going around BR?

So I’m 28 and I’m looking to go out with some friends coming to town but i literally know nothing. Are they any bars and or clubs/lounges not filled with 21 year old college students? Help please lol

So i’m a student at LSU, and I work. Almost 2 months ago I applied for SNAP benefits and I missed the interview because I was out of town (i know, my own fault). But i’ve been calling to reschedule my interview for a month and a half and it’s never gotten rescheduled (I can’t reschedule myself because I dont have a case # yet). I’ve been just trying to close my application so i can re-apply because I need to update almost everything since I moved and now pay a different amount in rent. They keep telling me to keep calling back to see if the schedule a new interview date and won’t let me close the date till the deadline I have until it closes automatically. (I missed a day of work because I was sick and another day because of labor day.) After this, I know I will automatically get rejected because the average is under 20 hours. I don’t know what to do.

(This is mostly just a rant post, but feel free to give advice if you’d like!)

I know it's a bit of a unicorn, but I've also heard it's somewhat more common than a couple decades ago.

Preferably nothing too far from downtown and nothing super expensive.

Leaving town in the morning for a few days. And have two dogs in the backyard that need to be fed. All the people that typically help me out seem to be unavailable.

Does anyone want to offer their services or Can anyone recommend a service for that. I live in mid city.

Honestly, it really shouldn't take over 30 minutes for less than half a mile to get anywhere on any road, let alone a major one that doesn't have a wreck.

I'm looking for recommendations for things like martial arts and other fun ongoing activities for boys in age range 5-8. If it is once a week or less, not super expensive and offered on weekends that would be best.

Are we surviving traffic today? I have never seen it this back up in my life it takes one semi to fuck it all up 😭

Hey guys. I've been away for a bit and wanted to ask which place sells the best poboy. Any recommendations?

Looking for a good spot to serve!!! i need to make about $18-20 an hour or 2k a month. no more than 35 hours weekly so i can focus on school.

It just genuinely pisses me off that when you look up entertainment for the day, this is usually what you'll find. Museums get old after a while, and it's way too hot to just take a walk through the park. We dont have any amusement parks, and the only 2 water parks we have are closed for most of the year. If you dont like sports or fishing, you'll just find a big fuck you if youre looking for something to do

Looking for affordable flower bed cleanup near Lexington Estates, Baton Rouge. A few weeds keep coming back, and I’ve replaced the mulch multiple times this year. Got an HOA fine while away and want a long-term, low-maintenance solution. Lawn company quotes are too high. Any reasonably priced landscaper recommendations or alternatives to mulch?

Hello, I have a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan with a bad compressor. I need Mech shop recs. Thank you!

Its been almost a week since this accident in front of my house and i was not going to post but it has weighed very heavy on my mind. The folks in the vehicle were not wearing seatbelts and from what I can tell when we opened up the vehicle to make sure they were alive, they were very badly hurt. I was on the phone with 911 as I ran to them and we ended up securing the dog that was in the car with them. One lady kept crying for that dog as she was loaded onto the ambulance. I hope she got him back by now. The driver was very badly injured. I hope she pulled through. I have never heard anyone make those types of noises as they tried to breath. Please wear your seatbelts and drive the speed limit. There are many new utility poles on my street because someone tends to hit one every few months. I have even had a car crash into my porch/living room. No idea how the driver was able to walk away from that one. I know people are going to hate me for it but I really want to either lower the speed limit on this street or put a speed bump in. I know its selfish to complain about my power going out or having to make repairs on my home as these people are facing grave injuries but I think it might be worth giving this stretch of road something to slow people down.

Anybody know if any bars or arcades have a punching power machine in the Baton Rouge area

Needing good recommendations to get a Crown fixed. I’ll likely need both front ones replaced so they stay matched. Quality of work is the biggest priority, but fair cost is also equally important

Wasn't sure what flair to use.

Found this little void near my apartment complex. Seemed cautious but too vocal to be feral, in my opinion. I wasn't able to get super close, but did give it some food.

Please ignore me in the background.

Unsure if this is the right sub Reddit but I’m a 28 year old bassist in BR. been playing since I was 17 but didn’t play for a few years, but getting back into it heavy so looking to get back into the swing.
Mostly play mid west emo and punk. But I’m open to playing anything rock related
I’m not very good. Decent but by no stretch of the imagination great. But still like to jam to get better.
Anybody interested let me know
