Does anyone know if the planet fitness on ambassador got updated with the brand’s refresh? It would be nice if they got the new equipment so people wouldn’t have to flock to Red’s or club4 down the road.

Well, driving home southbound on I-49 and just witnessed a trailer hauling heavy duty equipment strike the overpass of I-10. Assuming the equipment was too tall and didn’t clear. Think it was not too long ago this happened and the overpass was as closed for quite some time.

New Orleans to Lafayette area preferred

I'm trying to help a 19-year-old who is struggling with addition to gambling and marijuana. Tried a therapist, but he quit. I think he would really benefit from group therapy or a 12-step program, but I can't seem to find any in this area. Appreciate any help.

Hi! I am a senior accounting major and my capstone paper is about tax revenue and allocation within Louisiana. A small facet of my paper is about satisfaction and the general attitude of public services provided by the local government. I would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out my survey regarding these topics. Thank you in advance! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6fsORHZNszOk3dpgP_JZYum1V3iBtYknMDUQn0_m5j1RvJw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Hi - I need to get my kid into a pre school. He is 3 years old. Want to hear opinions on “First Years Early Childhood” school on Bertrand dr, as it’s nearby.

Any other recommendations are welcome as well

Looking for a Christmas present for my mom. I like the idea of us doing an activity together. Was thinking some sort of workshop like a baking class, painting, pottery, etc. I’m 27 and she’s 50 but very active and open to whatever. What yall think?

So I'm 35m looking to make new connections, get out and interact and conversate with people. The main problem I encounter is I don't do bars and clubs, partying getting tore up. I have no interest in any type of sports. I'm non-religious but I am spiritual, so church events are a no go. So that's 3 main settings that are out the question for me. I'm from the country, I like outdoor activities, camping, fishing, hiking/walking trails, hanging out by a fire having a couple beers etc. So I'm inquiring about where all the "other" people are at? What are some good events, things and places with people to get aquatinted with?

I’m looking for the best pizza place. I’m from middle La. and was told there are some good spots here?

Is there anywhere (not Arby’s) that sells a good Ruben sandwich

What are some good soups around Lafayette area?

I'm looking for your favorite gumbo to reheat at home. Whether seafood, sausage/chicken, okra, whatever. Let's see what everyone has out there!

My wife surprised me a few months back, stating that she rode horses a few times as a child. I casually mentioned that I never had the opportunity to learn and suggested it would be a fun date. I am curious about equestrian centers in Acadiana, one's that offer beginner/casual lessons with an opportunity for some trail riding. I would like to make this a Christmas gift--any suggestions on where/who to contact?

Got a notice that I have to attend "open court" for a child support modification. Last time (modification request in 2018) we met in open court but then we were called into a separate room with the Asst DA and DCFS rep's, and a hearing officer. Will it be the same or will it be in front of everyone in the room?

Hey everybody, I am following up on my post about Pho in Lafayette. So by far the top 2 recommendations were Saigon Noodles and Pho Home. However, I decided to go to Pho Home due to one particular comment: "Saigon is good but small and always busy".

Pros:

• Menu looked really good and had the perfect amount of options. There is an all you can eat option for $32. Had I know that, I would have planned for that.
• atmosphere was perfect. As an introvert, it was quiet, but yet had a good amount of people.
• The service was excellent; the waiter was funny and had our food out in a good amount of time.
• Ox tail pho was delicious and had a nice broth

Cons:

• Although the Ox tail pho was delicious. I felt the price wasn't the best bang for your buck. coming in at $25 you only get one Ox tail. Also I felt the bowl was tiny compared to other bowls.

overall I feel that this was a nice intro to Pho Home. I will be coming back for more.

They have the best stuff there. Are there any other unique places like that in Acadiana?

You can buy Bukang ramen noodles, a squirrel lamp, British toothpaste, German wine, and a chair shaped like a mushroom.

Hey group,

I’m in search of a lawyer in the Lafayette area who deals with Louisiana employment law and disability claims.

I’d also like to hear any comments, advice, and experiences from you guys that may have dealt with anything in this realm.

Thanks!

We would love to go Christmas caroling as a family. Anyone know of any organized groups? Also does anyone know of a specific route for seeing lights in/around Laffy?

Hi! I (19 f) am about to move into my first apartment. I have access to LUS and Cox. I don’t know the first thing about setting up an internet plan. I’m trying to save as much money as possible but still have reliable internet access as I am a student. I don’t need cable or anything like that, strictly wifi. Which should I go for? I’ve done some research and Cox is cheapest (i think???) but in all honesty I don’t know what any of the plans mean or entail. Thanks! Edit: Thank you for all the recommendations! I ended up talking to the landlord and found out Cox is the only option I have (I thought that was strange.. idk if that’s normal but whatever i guess). I ended up qualifying for a really cheap plan because im a student and a woman and blah blah. So, in a few months, i’ll update you all and let you know if it sucks lmao. Thanks again!

Kick off is 630 pm

Hello,

I am a student doing a 1-month externship in the area and I need a short term rental for the last half of December through the middle of January. Do y'all have any idea of a real estate group or place that I can sublease for 1 month without breaking the bank? Everything on airbnb is $1500+ for a month and all of the apartments I have reached out to want me to sign a year-long lease. Any help would be appreciated

I’ve been tasked by my better half to find a restaurant in Lafayette that serves Ratatouille. I know the brain trust here won’t let me down! Where’s your go-to place?
