Plus, the latest on the surge in COVID cases.
with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editorGood morning. Here are some of our favorite recent reads for you: Big things afoot at the zooThe Baton Rouge Zoo has big plans in the works, including a new entrance, a giraffe feeding exhibit and pygmy hippos, to name a few. The upgrades will be rolling out in phases over the next few years. This story lays out what could be changing when. On the prowl for po-boys?The Best Little Po-Boy House in Port Allen may have changed its name (it's now just "The Poboy House") but the po-boys are still top notch, food writer Robin Miller says. Check out this profile to see what's changing and what's staying the same (hint: the Whip Lady Salad and debris roast beef po-boys are sticking around). COVID cases surge; long lines for testsIn case you missed it, we reported yesterday on how the omicron variant of COVID is causing a surge in new cases, and that's causing long lines in many places to get tested. Our reporters are out today digging for more information on how to handle at-home tests and how shortened quarantines might change things, and we'll have stories coming on that soon. Thanks for reading, and have a great day. |
