St Louis

What people have said is accurate (Uptown, St. Charles Ave., Garden Dist., Magazine Street, CBD, and Warehouse Dist.

An underrated spot, in my opinion, is the City Park Ave area. (Bienville, Orleans, Dumaine, Bienville, and Esplanade near Cabrini area). It's a little slower paced, but very local. A lot of good restaurants and bars too. Probably my favorite spot of New Orleans to be honest...

Hate to say it but I would put Ohio State at number one.

Notre Dame is a weird one too. I think they are top 10 but more towards the 8-10 range. For all of their strengths, they’ve got certain weaknesses to counterbalance them out.

Grandma graduated from LSU

Grandpa graduated from Loyola

Parents went to USL.

I graduated from LSU - class of '04.

Older sister (no pics) graduated from LSU in '01.

The younger brother graduated from LSU in '09 (via BRCC - always like to make that jab).

I'd bet $100 that house is in Nashville. That style is everywhere around there.

Per the article - South Park neighborhood of Raleigh. But you're correct. We rented an AirBnB for the LSU-Vanderbilt game this past fall and stayed to a home similar to that style. The rood was flat, however, and not slanted. That's where the patio or "deck" was (the roof). It was hot as hell.

Disagree. Exhibit A:

Does it say anywhere in the Bible that only those baptized in the Catholic Church can take communion? Or is that a man-made requirement?

---

While the Bible may not explicitly state "only those baptized in the Catholic Church can receive communion," it strongly implies the necessity of a shared faith and baptism as prerequisites for partaking in the Eucharist.

In 1 Corinthians 10:16-17, St. Paul emphasizes the unity of believers who partake in the one bread, the Body of Christ. This unity implies a shared belief and communion in faith. Further, in 1 Corinthians 11:27-29, Paul warns against receiving the Eucharist unworthily, which presupposes an understanding of and assent to what the Eucharist truly is.

The Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has discerned that to receive the Eucharist, one must be in communion with its teachings and sacramental life.

Think of Baptism as the gateway to the other sacraments, as it incorporates individuals into the Body of Christ. Being baptized in the Catholic Church establishes initial communion with Christ and His Church, making one eligible to receive the Eucharist worthily.

This requirement is not a “man-made” restriction but follows from the Church's consistent teaching on the nature of the sacraments and the unity required to participate fully in them. It seeks to preserve the sanctity and integrity of the Eucharist and to ensure that those who receive it do so with the rightful disposition and belief.

Not at all. While not a Latin Mass, the church I attend is more traditional (some Latin, Gregorian Chant, some women in veils, pray the rosary prior to Mass, St. Michael prayer after Mass). Many don’t receive the Eucharist weekly. As they shouldn’t if they’re in a stage of mortal sin. It’s the parishes like Christ the King or St. Aloysius where all the congregation participates.
