More of Baton Rouge's top headlines inside
with Kelly P. Kissel | Metro editorThanks for stopping by on your way to the weekend. There's a lot going on, including: James Finn has a story from southern Tangipahoa Parish, where concerns are rising about a number of levees going up in various communities. There are fears that could mean more water in future storms for places like Manchac. And here's a little ditty on how some people in East Baton Rouge Parish are actually slowing the pace of debris pickup after Hurricane Ida. It might be said that problems are piling up. And LSU opens its home football season tomorrow night in Tiger Stadium, with Orgerons on both sides of the field. |
