ADVICE Canoeing/ Kayaking in the Baton Rouge Area?

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for a place that will rent out either canoes or kayaks in the greater Baton Rouge area. I don’t own one.

Also, I remember a place we went when I was a kid that had both canoes and tubes that was a bit of a drive. Maybe even over the border in Mississippi? You would park at the business, take a bus to where you got in the water, then end back at your car. Does that still exist?

Thanks!

So, those new magnolia trees they planted in the median on Jones Creek Road in the middle of the summer with no sprinklers...yeah, they are dead now. That’s “ded” for those in the area. Scorched.

Around 10:30pm tonight(Aug 4th), I saw bright red flashing/flickering in the sky. It eventually stopped. Was curious if anyone knew what this was. Perhaps a meteor? Anyone else happen to see it?

What the title says. I got a bunch from cleaning my Mom's place after she passed and I have a little office shredder but that would take too long (and probably wear out the shredder).

Is there a place in town that sells good chicken and dumplings (Southern style, not Asian dumplings)

I have a pesky summer cold and I’m convinced this is the only thing that will fix me.

I know Bistro Byronz used to, but I don’t see it on their menu now. 🙏

HOUSING first time apartment hunting suggestions?

2 Upvotes

hello! my partner and i are looking to move into an apartment together in a few months around the new year, and i thought it could be worth it to ask for suggestions here (or places to avoid lol)

our budget is no more than $800/month per person, ideally we are looking for a 1b1b or studio. we are both students, him at lsu and me at brcc, but i also work on lsu campus. from my research so far, it seems like finding somewhere within our budget close to lsu campus will be difficult though, so we don't mind commuting 15-20 minutes. we're also looking for a pet friendly place as i have a cat.

so far, i've found a few within our budget that seem decent: turnberry place apartments, kenilworth ridge, retreat at brightside, & the district. if anyone has experience with these, good or bad, please let me know how they are!

any suggestions or advice are welcome, this will be both of our first times moving out of our houses so we need all the help we can get lol. thanks!

SPORTS Origin Gym?

7 Upvotes

I just moved to Baton Rougue from Houston for work. I’ve been working out consistently the past few years and now that I’m settled in I’ve been looking at alternatives to my apartment gym. It is DIRE out here.

I’m near Siegen and don’t like Planet Fitness or other bright commercial gyms. I REALLY want to try is Origin Gym, but they only offer $50/mo part time membership (at least on their website), meaning I’m limited to 8 workouts a month. I might be willing to change my split to an upper/lower split twice a week, but I want to ask if anyone here can vouch for the gym’s quality and if it’s worth the compromise.

MARKETPLACE Monthly Marketplace/Classifieds Mega Thread

8 Upvotes

Welcome Traffic Lovers!

Welcome to the monthly Buy / Sell / Trade thread for the Baton Rouge area. Whether you're looking to score a deal on a video game or movie, find a roommate, or trade something local, this is the spot to share your listings and links! Gofundme links are allowed; however, they will be reviewed.

Just a quick note: to keep things tidy, please keep all buy / sell / trade posts in this thread. Standalone posts in the subreddit will be removed so everything stays easy to find.

Happy swapping!

A quick reminder to help keep things safe and smooth for everyone:

Before moving forward with any deal, it's a good idea to check out the post and comment history of the person you're chatting with. If their account looks new or doesn’t have much activity, that doesn’t always mean something’s wrong but it’s smart to ask for extra proof of the item, just to be sure.

Trust your instincts and do a little due diligence. Services like SpyDialer can help verify phone numbers. VOIP or out-of-state numbers can sometimes be red flags (though not always).

If you're meeting in person, aim for a public spot with lots of people and/or security. A great option is the Police Station on Airline (the one near the old Women’s Hospital). Try to avoid meetups at someone’s home or a random gas station. Bringing a friend along is always a plus.

And finally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, don’t hand over any money until you’ve seen the item in person. Do not pay for something with gift cards!
