More of Baton Rouge's top headlines inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorGood afternoon. TICK TICK TICK: LSU is a week away from opening its classroom at 100 percent capacity, and it's not entirely clear how the school will fully enforce its COVID-related rules.

Infection rates are way up on campuses, but vaccination rates among those eligible, age 12 and up, aren't. Charles Lussier takes at look at where various parts of the state stand.

So grab a cold bottle of water (or two) and take care of these 8 things our LSU AgCenter expert says you should do this month. Get the list here. |
