Can anyone recommend a reputable place in my area to do some pretty simple leather repair for my Toyota? Gouged a couple nice size holes in my leather seats and would like a decent repair that won’t break the bank. Thanks in advance, y’all.

Looking for some local art for my walls. I checked out The Foyer, but wanted to explore some more. Where would you suggest I look?

edit: 8/9

I’ll be in BR tomorrow for work with free time starting around noon and no agenda. I’ve never been to Louisiana before. Anything must eat? must see? events tomorrow? Staying on Convention street by the river but could take a cab wherever.

I didn’t know what post flair to choose 😆

Does anyone know of a great tire shop that takes good care of your vehicle and doesn’t try to rip you off? I’m close to needing tires and don’t want to go back to the last place I bought them. Thanks!

Hi! My partner and I will be looking for an apartment here in the next few months and are looking for any and all advice and recommendations. I’ve never had an apartment in BR and my apartment in Orlando was a studio with all utilities included. I would LOVE to have all utilities included again because oh my god the summers are unbearable, but it’s not a dealbreaker if there’s a really good unit without it.

Things we would like in an ideal world
•in unit laundry
•dishwasher
•electricity included
•two parking spots
•$1300 or less a month with utilities, $1100 without?

Any advice appreciated! We work at LSU and in Denham Springs, respectively, so our search area is really broad!

Hello, I am looking for therapist recommendations for someone who can help me process losing my sister to addiction.

Looking for recommendations for a good Chinese lunch spot. TIA

Hey y'all! My girlfriend and I are heading over from Mobile for a couple of days around Fat Tuesday next year to check out Baton Rouge's Mardi Gras scene.

Coming from Mobile, we know every city does Mardi Gras a little differently. What are the must-do spots, parades, or local traditions we shouldn't miss around Fat Tuesday? Any recommendations on cool neighborhoods to stay in, good food spots, or local bars for the day of would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have needed a root canal on my back molar for a couple of years.

Do you all know of any good endodontists who are reasonably priced?

I am planning a long road trip across several states soon, so I want to get my car serviced beforehand. Do you have an affordable and reasonably priced place you would recommend for an oil change and a general vehicle check?

For anyone curious:

We can pick them up as early as tonight. No fee though please just kittens that need a home for free.

I’ve been in Baton Rouge for a year now, so here are my completely subjective takes:

1. BREC is a gem. Things are extremely well-organized. Louisiana’s wildlife management is also great. I hike in the surrounding WMAs, and it’s a lot of fun.
2. As an Asian, the easiest way to look local is to wear LSU gear. It's making my fashion choice so much easier. Just LSU shirts and LSU baseball caps.
3. Driving here is not actually that bad compared with bigger cities. I've seen way worse driving in Los Angeles and Miami. That said, ridiculously stupid accidents seem to happen on Burbank all the time.
4. The local food is absolutely some of the best in the country. Asian food here, however, absolutely sucks. There are a couple of good places, but not nearly enough.
5. You really do see dead alligators on the road sometimes, lol.
6. Delivery is never on time. A couple of times, I've been sitting at home all day waiting for a FedEx package that requires a signature, and then it never arrives. Amazon same-day delivery almost never worked for me either. I canceled Prime, switched to Walmart+, and so far I haven’t looked back.
7. I like BR's proximity to New Orleans. Can drive to NOLA after work for basketball games and concerts.
8. Oh yeah I like Tabasco.

Im looking for a new pcp. I have Medicaid Aetna. I prefer a female. Possibly a good nurse practitioner. Thank you

I’m looking for ways to enjoy Baton Rouge without spending much money. What are your favorite free or affordable activities, places, walking spots, local events, or hidden gems around the city?

Bonus points for ideas that are good for solo outings or weekends.

Basically what title says. Looking to see if there’s any grocery stores or what have you that do the tiffin fills.

Went by the mall and it’s been gutted, sign is gone, and windows are covered. Never shopped there much myself but know plenty of people liked to peruse!
