Baton Rouge’s own bottle of Louisiana flavor

Louisiana’s legendary Cajun and Creole flavors are now being bottled right here in Baton Rouge! Gregory Chisley, a familiar face at Southern University, spent years perfecting a seasoning blend with over 30 ingredients and almost no salt. After impressing chefs from California to Arkansas, his unique mixes are now sold in local stores, Amazon, and Walmart. It’s all about sharing that homegrown Louisiana taste with the world. Would you try a seasoning made with this much passion and local love? Let’s talk favorite ways to spice up a meal! #Food #BatonRouge #LouisianaFlavors

Flooding hits LSU’s Tiger Stadium ground floor

Floodwaters surged into the ground floor of LSU’s Tiger Stadium after severe storms swept through Baton Rouge, creating a wild scene for students and fans. While the images looked alarming, LSU Athletics Operations quickly stepped in, and things are getting back to normal. But the impact was real—over 2,000 people in East Baton Rouge lost power, and campus roads turned into rivers. This kind of weather makes you wonder: how prepared are our local landmarks for sudden storms? Have you ever seen Tiger Stadium like this before? #Sports #LSU #BatonRouge

Baton Rouge students get a head start on college

Baton Rouge high schoolers are now earning college credits and workforce certifications before they even graduate, thanks to a new partnership between GEO Academies and BRCC. With tuition, books, and transportation fully covered, students can focus on real career skills and degrees—without the financial stress. Teachers say the energy on campus is contagious, with more students eager to join every day. This shift is already tripling the number of grads with associate degrees. How do you think this early access to college and career training will shape Baton Rouge’s future workforce? #Education #BatonRouge #CollegeReady

Baton Rouge teens now learning trades on college campus

High school juniors and seniors in Baton Rouge are getting a real taste of college life—and career training—by moving classes to BRCC’s Acadian campus. GEO Next Generation High School’s new setup means students aren’t just sitting in regular classrooms; they’re walking the same halls as college students and seeing hands-on trades in action. This shift is helping more teens earn associate’s degrees and technical certifications before they even graduate high school. It’s a big step for local education, and families are already noticing the difference. What do you think—should more high schools try this approach? #Education #BatonRouge #HighSchool

Baton Rouge bands finally getting new uniforms

Some Baton Rouge school bands have been performing in gym shorts and t-shirts for years because they simply don’t have uniforms—or the ones they do have are falling apart. That’s about to change: the district is stepping up with a fundraiser to help schools like Liberty High finally outfit their musicians. For students, it’s not just about looking sharp—it’s about feeling seen and proud to represent their school. Imagine the boost in spirit when every band member gets to march in a real uniform! Would you chip in to help make this happen? #Education #K12 #BatonRouge

Katrina’s newborn rescue: Baton Rouge heroes remembered

Twenty years ago, Baton Rouge doctors and nurses pulled off a rescue mission that still gives people chills—saving newborns and mothers flown in from New Orleans as Hurricane Katrina raged. Dr. Kenneth Brown recalls the chaos: helicopters landing, bassinets lined up, and teams working nonstop to give these tiny survivors a fighting chance. For many, those 48 hours felt like a war zone, but the adrenaline and teamwork made all the difference. Today, seeing those babies grown up is a powerful reminder of how communities can come together in crisis. What memories or stories do you have from Katrina? #News #HurricaneKatrina #BatonRouge

Baton Rouge says goodbye to a Piccadilly icon

Piccadilly’s Plank Road location, a Baton Rouge staple for 65 years, has closed its doors for good. For many locals, this spot was more than just a cafeteria—it was a place for family gatherings, Sunday lunches, and comfort food memories. While the closure is a blow to the Delmont Village community, Piccadilly fans can still visit three other Baton Rouge locations and one in Denham Springs. It’s a reminder of how our favorite neighborhood spots can suddenly disappear. What’s your favorite Piccadilly memory, and how do you feel about these changes in our city’s dining scene? #Food #BatonRouge #Piccadilly
