with Matthew Albright | Assistant metro editorGood morning! Here are some of our top stories from yesterday. Putting COVID in the rear view?Health experts warn another variant or other change could bring COVID roaring back, but for now the worst is clearly over. In Baton Rouge, hospitals have seen only a handful of COVID patients in the past few days, and deaths have slowed to a trickle. Things have gotten so much better that LSU has lifted the requirement that people wear masks on campus. Big news in Baton Rouge politicsMetro Council member Erika Green won an election this weekend to be a judge. That sets up an election to fill her seat — and a potential debate on council about who to appoint in the interim. This story walks through the process and mentions at least three prominent local figures who could be running for the seat. If ain't broke...Are you the kind of person who freezes up when you have to pick from a huge restaurant menu? Then we might have a recommendation for you. Smalls Sliders offers pretty much one thing to eat, and it's sliders — sort of mini-hamburgers. But the owner says that means it's the best sliders you'll find. You can find more details in our review here. Thanks for reading, and have a great day! |
