re: Auto Repair Shop in BR

Close to LSU on Burbank, highly recommend C and R. On Siegen near Perkins, can't beat K and M Auto. Both have been extremely honest and done high quality work for a while. Can't go wrong with either.

Burbank and College intersection has tons of options. Check out Cheeba Hut for good hot sandwiches. Haven't been in a while, but Am Mart on Nicholson had good poboys and pitas.
Two I have personally used and recommend are C and R Auto on Burbank and K and M on Siegen. Both have been very honest and trustworthy. Highly recommend both. Coworkers use K and M as well and like them.

Don’t think they are open on Saturday though.
Call Searchers in Prairieville. Phillip knows any and every thing about jeeps. Very good people.

Lake Catherine State Park has some nice hikes and a waterfall. Definitely see Garvan Gardens. We did a tubing trip on Caddo River. Superior Bathhouse Brewery was very good food and beer.

If you want to book spa at the hot springs, book early, they filled up fast when we were there.
Long term need to develop a plan to control woody encroachment. Usually combination of burning or drone spraying.
Love Jack Ingram.

Here's one from some Louisiana and Texas boys, The Captain Legendary Band.

Have had great service at C and R Auto on Burbank and K and M Auto on Siegen. Both were very honest and fixed problems. Highly recommend both.
We stayed at the Cornerwall House with Squires Estate in Governors Harbour. Very nice place. Even helped us with bringing an air compressor for low tire on the rental van. Eleuthera is not very developed so never had a large crowd and had several beaches all to ourselves. Had a nice restaurant and breakfast place and grocery store within walking distance. Buccaneer Club was very good. Did French Leave beach, Twin Coves beach and did an excursion around Turtle Beach. Disney has recently built a marina on the southern end of the island, but wasn't completed when we went, so not sure how that has affected island. Very laid back trip and never felt unsafe.
Call Toyota of Brookhaven in Mississippi. Had very good experience with them. Small town dealer. No sales gimmicks or tricks. Easy to deal with.
The Zoo is worth checking out if you have down time. They have parts of Rosenblatt there with home plate and some seats and foul poles in parking lot. The old part of downtown Omaha is very nice with lot of shopping and restaurants.

Call either K and M auto on siegen or C and R on Burbank. K and M has worked on our Acura RDX.

Call clay at Prairie Plains. Have one of their dogs and hunted over several. Great dogs, but better people. They only deal with British labs.

re: Archery Range in Baton Rouge?

Not in Baton Rouge, but if you are across the river for work or anything, the Iberville Parish Firing Range near Plaquemine also has 20, 50, and 70 yard bow range with an elevated shooting tower. Have used the firing range a few times and it is excellent.
If you want a meat haul, call Pure Adrenalin with Captain Jamie Gaspard. Guy is a fishing machine. Great guy and will definitely be an entertaining trip.

Probably not very PC, but a good dude.
Following, interested in doing the same. Assuming Mayeaux Plumbing is in or around Baton Rouge? Would they handle everything or just do mainly plumbing work?

re: The native plant thread

Posted by bourbon on 4/15/26 at 11:11 am to
I like this movement, but it can be difficult to find much native species at your local nursery. I found this site when looking around. Might be a little drive from your area, but check it out. All native species, some trees, some shrub and some herbaceous.

Greaux Native
Also, check out Elsie's Plate and Pie on Government, very good food but can have long wait times. Bldg 5 and Overpass Merchant near Parrains are very good. Check out Simple Joe Cafe on Government for breakfast.
Another for Buffalo Trace. Also like Basil Hayden.
