We are writing to inform you that the upcoming Sweet Olive Cemetery Clean-Up Day, originally scheduled for September 19 & 20 will need to be postponed. Unfortunately, due to the temporary unavailability of necessary equipment, we are unable to carry out the clean-up as planned.

Please know that this is only a delay. We remain committed to the care and preservation of Sweet Olive Cemetery, and we will announce a new date for the clean-up as soon as arrangements are finalized.

🚨 Permanent Closure of Washington Street Exit🚨

is proposing permanent closure of the I-10 Washington Street Exit. Originally the exit was to be moved from the outside to the middle of the interstate. Now they are trying to remove it entirely, saying that it will reduce weaving and congestion on the interstate. created a merging problem years ago and wouldn’t fix it when asked community members. Now once again Old South Baton Rouge is being dealt the short end of the stick. Just another way to try to kill OSBR and cut us off. What are your thoughts on this proposal State Project No. 016075?

Compete the survey, post, and share it also.
