Does anyone have experience with the immersion schools in Baton Rouge?

We had planned on doing french immersion when we lived in Lafayette, but had to move for my job. (Doesn’t look like the Lafayette School Board is going to keep that program going for much longer anyway).

We are considering CRIS or FLAIM for our children for spanish/french immersion.

Does anyone know the status? The location of Fairfield and S Bernard...... Shows it's closed, obviously but does anyone know why, and if and when they may reopen. Thanks in advance!

I mainly work in the Lafayette/Youngsville area, and I was interested in trying a couple of Asian restaurants that aren’t buffets. Doesn’t matter what type of Asian, nor does the spice level matter

Hey guys! I have a friend looking for a bartending job. Does anyone have any recommendations of places I should send them to apply to that are hiring currently? Thanks in advance!

Heard some hollering, maybe 7 police cars showed up. No ambulance or anything like that. I assumed a bar fight or something, but I was wondering why there would have been so many police with sirens and stuff.

I have used HelloFresh for a few years now. Living in TN, never had a problem with delivery dates Monday through Sunday was no problem. Moved to Lafayette a few months ago, earliest delivery is Tuesday and latest is Friday. 3/4 of the times it does not show up until Wednesday.

Anyone else have this issue? Any better similar services available in this area?

any usps workers in here that could please give me some insight? i’m a small business owner/artist who dropped off 10 packages in the blue usps drop-off bin on saturday january 18. as of today, only 2 of the 10 packages has been scanned in the system and has had any recorded movement. all of the others are still saying “usps awaiting item”. i know there was MLK day and then the snow that caused a delay so i was hoping to get some insight about what’s going on before losing all hope that my packages are lost (which would be a huge loss for my business). i’m assuming that if some were scanned in, perhaps the others were in the same batch and not far behind? but i really have no idea how this all works. this was at the moss street location. if anyone has had a similar experience lately, feel free to chime in. thanks in advance!

Hi y’all, I moved to Lafayette almost 3 years ago. I love this place. It’s one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived in quite a few places now. I really feel at home, but unfortunately tragedy has hit my family and I have to go back home to Oregon to support of my niece and nephew. I’m leaving this wonderful place I’ve called home and I’m mourning the loss. More importantly I’m scared to death because I have a wonderful 1 year old pit bull that’s sweet as a button, a three legged tabby that was a rescue, and my senior family cat tabby that I can’t bring with me. I need to find them good homes. They’re inside cats that are all litter trained. The dog is potty trained, but she is a wanderer so I have to keep an eye on her. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. They’re my little fur babies and I love them with my whole heart. I’m just not financially in a spot that I can travel 2400 miles with them and I HAVE to get to Oregon to support the family. If anyone can help, even just some advice. I would appreciate it. Please message me. Thank you 💔

Before FYE, before Sam Goody. Right when you walk in the front, on the left.

Hello! My name is Bridgit, and I am a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and I attend a tribal college in Kansas, where indigenous issues are a huge topic of discussion.

I am conducting research and looking for interviewees for climate change among the coastal and gulf regions of Louisiana and how climate change is impacting the federal and state-recognized tribes of Louisiana.

What tribe do you belong to? Do you belong to an unrecognized tribe? How has your land changed from the time you were born until now? What policies and/or laws impact your tribe/land? How has your culture changed as a result of climate change?

I have many more questions, so if anyone is interested please sound off in the thread.

Called the DC offices of both today and got voicemails. I have written in before to both and received boilerplate responses. I am going to keep calling but does anyone ever get a real person?

I am so curious how they are projecting the Ragin Cajuns sign on the roof of the Cajundome. Anyone know? My little brain can’t comprehend how it works lol

Me and my wife wanna take our son bowling Saturday night. He’s only 5 so I’m wondering what the best place to go would be

I thought it would be good to start a thread of the spots that have started serving crawfish.

Hi friends,

TLDR: I'm looking for recommendations for great, knowledgable Realtors in Lafayette/Abbeville area; possibly with experience in forbearance/short sale, etc.

Context: It's incredibly difficult to share this and incredibly heart breaking, but I was laid off over a year ago and, still being unable to find a reliable full-time role of sufficient salary, we have gone into a forbearance plan on our home which we bought only 3 years ago.

As I continue to search and take on contracting work here and there, we are approaching the end of our forbearance plan and our circumstances have not changed enough to allow us to be able to pay off our back-owed amount as well as start paying our full loan payment + escrow amount.

As such, we are hoping to find out our options around selling our home to try and exit the situation with as little outstanding debt, credit impact, and heartbreak as possible.

If you also happen to know resources we should check into, please feel free to share them as well! We have been working closely with our loan company's loss mitigation team, but we apparently don't qualify for a HUD interview/assistance since we are already in a forbearance plan.

Thank you all for your kindness and support <3

My girlfriend (27F) is looking for an entry level position somewhere in Lafayette. She’s worked in the food industry for most of her life but is looking to move on to something new! If you guys have any suggestions, I definitely appreciate it!

Hey all, looking for perspectives here from anyone and everyone: My fiancé and I are considering possibly moving down to Delcambre, from Sacramento CA. Should we stay here or is the Cajun culture as good as everyone says? We are only worried about hurricanes, and the humidity really- we hate the dry cold here and the 115°+ summers are bad but I hear they’re okay compared to the humidity... What are everyone else’s thoughts? Any considerations or things we should look into? What’s something you love, something you dislike? Thanks everyone!

Hey y’all, I’m looking to buy a cheap PC or MacBook that can run Steam to play Stardew Valley.. thanks!

Hey y’all remember that time it snowed last week? I took some FPV drone footage of Carencro because j’avais trop peur to drive to Lafayette.
