Is there a dentist here that does a sliding pay scale?

I have cavities that need to be filled and my Medicaid no longer covers fillings. Any recommendations are appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Stuffed artichoke?

Man, anybody in town do a proper stuffed artichoke? I grew up in Bucktown and have been in BR since ‘04, and every once in a while I just need a stuffed artichoke or a decent poboy. There’s a couple decent places for poboys, sure, but man, sometimes I just really just need like a proper hole in the wall poboy shop stuffed artichoke.

Does anyone in town do them? Callandros? Anthony’s? Monjuni’s? Tony’s? I never see them anywhere. Somebody got a spot?

WFH/Remote places to work

Looking for places you would suggest to work/study. Not cubicle-type places, more like cafes, quiet spaces, etc. I get tired of my home office. Thanks!

EBR Choice Application Question

I recently went to submit my child's application for the EBR Choice for magnet high school, and I see that my information there is incorrect. I have my name as the student and her name as the parent. How can I delete the application from the EBR Choice applications to make a new one? It does not give you and option.

Outdoor wall art. Looking for professional

I have a section of stucco wall outside my home that I want to commission art to be applied directly to the stucco.

There is a particular piece from Carl Jung I want reproduced on to that section.

Can anyone recommend a professional service?

Permit for Electricity?

Even though I have been living in B.R. for 10 years, I just learned that I need a permit to turn on electricity. It just so happens that I've had three apartments, all with electricity on when I moved in (only one where it was included in the rent), I just switched it into my name after the first month. So, I'm moving today and tomorrow (the final day to be out of this apartment), and I've switched everything to the new place. I moved the electricity online, and I saw that Entergy said something about a "hold for a permit", but they asked if I was renting and said something about they would apply for it and contact me, but then said to contact the landlord, too. Between work and moving and general craziness, I forgot! Now I'm afraid I'll be stuck for the weekend. I'm trying to use this "my government online" site to apply for it, but my tired brain can't find anything about electricity. Is it possible to apply online, or will I just have to call this morning when it opens? Does anyone know how long this takes, or how much it costs?

Rock Climbing Meetup? (UpTown)

Hey everyone! I'm 24M and looking to meet new people in BR. Mostly trying to make new friends because I don't really know many people here, so I'm planning to go out and socialize more to meet new people.

With that said... would anyone be interested in meeting up and doing some rock climbing? I've been pretty interested in trying it out and heard about this place called "UpTown Climbing" (on Coursey Blvd) and want to check it out.

Thinking about going this Saturday (10/5) since I'll be free that entire day, but wouldn't mind waiting until next Saturday (10/12) if enough people are interested in making it a group meetup!

Feel free to let me know if you're interested and what time you would be available. I'll update everyone by tomorrow night on what we'll do!

Birthday Restaurant Rec

For my 21st birthday, I want to go to a nice restaurant with a nice aesthetic for pictures. I like Tsunami Sushi's rooftop, but I don't want their menu for my birthday. Any other really nice restaurants with rooftops or nice restaurants in general?

What can we expect to pay for electric?

We are potentially renting home just under 1800 sq ft, with no gas all electric. The electric hasnt been on since 2020 so we do not have an accurate estimate of our electric bill costs. House was built in 2007 i think? Does anyone know what range we can expect to pay?

Questions about levee bike bath in Baton Rouge

I live in Lafayette and am not too familiar with the BR area. I am looking for areas with long paved routes to ride my bike and the levee path in BR seems like a good one to try out. Training for a triathlon so flat, with no traffic, and road-like conditions is what I was looking for.

  1. How long is the levee bike path paved for and suitable for a road bike? My bike is incapable of riding on gravel/grass so I want to know how long I can ride for before having to turn around and do laps.

  2. Is there a heavy crosswind typically when riding on the levee path?

  3. Where do you park if you want to go ride/run on the levee?

Funny Louisiana gag gift ideas?

My buddy is an out-of-stater having his bachelor trip in New Orleans. I want to surprise him with a funny, Louisiana welcoming gift-- ideally drinking related. Does anyone know of any shots, shooters, gifts along this line and where to buy locally? Much appreciated!
