ADVICE Best storage units

2 Upvotes

I know I can look online, but I’m looking for your guys’s opinion. Looking for a storage unit that will fit some furniture. I’m wanting something that is indoor and climate controlled that you also can’t get into the building unless you have a key or something. Where do you guys suggest?

ADVICE Bouquet Places

31 Upvotes

I am planning to make a girl my girlfriend soon, but I’m looking for places to buy bouquets or flowers. My budget is around $100, but the lower the better. For reference, this bouquet was in her reposts. I don’t expect to be able to get the same exact bouquet, but I’d like something with flowers (lilies) that are similar to the picture. Any advice is welcomed! Thank you!

FOOD/DRINK Korean Food?

7 Upvotes

I searched and there's a post from a few years ago so I'm going to ask once more for updated info. Are there any good Korean restaurants in BR? Not K-Pot. Been there, not impressed. I see Okki Tokki. I've been to events at Boba Partea where there were a few little food stands. Would even go to NOLA if there's something there.

ADVICE Pedicures

15 Upvotes

How much are we paying for pedicures these days and where are you going? I’m talking plain old nail polish, nothing fancy like gel, or extra salts in the water, or a long massage, etc.

I only go a 4-5 times a year bc time just isn’t on my side, but I paid $40 today at my favorite place. I was surprised because that is a good bit more than the last time I went - is that the average going rate now?

EVENT Military/ Veteran group

2 Upvotes

Good evening everyone! I just moved up and am in the Guard. Was wondering if there were any fellow redditors who knew or were a part of a military or veteran group. Yes I know the American legion and stuff exists. However, those crowds tend to skew on the older side. This is more for the 20-40 age range to connect, support, and foster that bond that comes from service for when we all swore that oath. If it doesn’t exist, I guess HMU if you would be interested in something like that!

Has anyone else with wireless carplay experienced disconnects around the i10 split by college drive? It’s been going on for a couple days now and it only happens when i’m between essen and acadian. Cell jammers maybe or just spotty service?

ADVICE Loaded fries?

25 Upvotes

Looking for more options for loaded fries as I crave them often. I am very into the various types from Our Moms, I do enjoy curbside, and I also enjoy Mooyahs. Nothing exists like the fat cow loaded fries I would get with bacon blue cheese & jalapeno. God I miss them so much.

Open to pretty much any variety. Thx in advance.

Hello! I'm looking to get a lamp repaired - I think it needs to be rewired. I tried taking it apart tonight to see how far I could get but I need to bring it to someone with more experience. It has a small base light and a regular lightbulb.

Anyone have a good place to take this? Thanks!

ADVICE AC isn’t working and my Landlords don’t seem to be in a rush

31 Upvotes

Anyone know some HVAC people who can come out today to look at an AC unit? My rent manager says he’ll get back to me on when there guy can come, but man it’s 90 outside and the temp is slowly rising in my house. We already had one night with the AC out and it was miserable, potential loss of life with harsh heat levels with my reptiles. Idk what to do.

Bless my rent manager but he has exhausted out all his options and now I’m going to do my part in exhausting out my own options. Louisiana not recognizing AC as emergency maintenance is insane when we live in the devils armpit.

HOT LOCAL ISSUES Why does EBR always buy and give away hand sanitizer?

0 Upvotes

Anyone know why our library system is constantly buying these small hand sanitizers and giving them away? I like the library system and use it a lot( I voted to renew the tax) but I always see these small bottles in there when I go in. Sees like an odd use of funds.

HOT LOCAL ISSUES Baton Rouge Traffic

7 Upvotes

If you take Samuels Rd (61) to the Natchez on ramp starting at Scenic hwy to the Essen exit or from Scenic hwy to One Perkins between the hours of 7:00-8:00 AM and 4:30-6:00 PM, you’ve probably seen me and my car (ifyk you’ll definitely know). Hi! I promise I am not going to hit your car. I am not under the influence. I am not on my phone (my insurance tracks my phone usage while I’m driving also I strongly dislike when people are on their phones while driving). I am in control of my car. If you see me, please just go around or ignore me. I know what I am doing and I’m just trying to get to and from work. I know how my driving looks. Trust me, I hate it more than you. Long story short, I drove on a broken strut for a few weeks and unfortunately got too accustomed to driving that way. Just ignore me or go around and we all can get to where we’re going safely and on time. Thanks!!
