Last year was a great time. Parking is easy. The venue is nice. Not overly crowded.
Only downsides is it can be a little hot outside depending on the weather and it can get pretty dusty in the horse pavilion.

Kenilworth Middle closed about a decade ago and then a charter school took over the campus. The charter then built its own campus and gave it back to EBR. BRCVPA moved in while they tore down its campus and rebuilt. Those kids are going to be in their new campus in the fall. McKinley is doing the same thing. Moving to Kenilworth while work is done on their campus.

Are you sure the house isn’t worth selling? Someone could come and move it off the property. Or give it away for free if they will move it.
re: EBR public schools closing and consolidating is a bad omen for BR

You’re still wrong.
I’d be shocked if many, really if more than a handful, of jobs will be lost. People will move back into the class room. TOTAL SPENDING will not decrease.

Honestly, this is a pretty bad take. Across EBR schools, enrollment is about 50% of capacity. There are ~ EBR schools. The majority of those are elementary schools ~65.
Capital Middle enrollment is ~200 with capacity of 1000.
Resources are spread too thin with too much being spent on administrators.
If EBR wants to improve its scores it needs to consolidate schools and focus resources. We currently spend ~$16k per student!

For Camellias, I would make the trip to Mizells in the Folsom area. They are a Camellia nursery with ~100 varieties in all sizes. Really amazing place.

In south Louisiana, they should be freshly planted around 2nd week of January. They should be stored in the refrigerator prior to that for 8-12 weeks to simulate snow on the ground in colder climates.

I agree. There seems to be a misconception of what is happening here.
I work adjacent to this space and am pretty familiar with how it works.
Essentially, cms pays Medicare advantage plans based on how sick their patients are (how many chronic conditions etc) and rates them on their ability to care for those patients to determine how much they should be paid. Many patients never go to the doctor or went just before a time period and therefore have diagnoses that are not accounted for in claims.
Plans can send nurses to Dr offices “chart chasing” to find icd codes that didn’t make it onto claims or they can send nurses to those members houses to determine whether they are sicker then what the claims suggest.
There is a lot of opportunity for nefariousness.

All I ever do is marinate in butter milk and pickle juice with some hot sauce in it.
Take it out, and toss in flour, baking powder?, Tony’s.
Comes out delicious and far better then canes or Popeyes.

This is how LWHA in Baton Rouge does it.
OB care is usually billed with a globalized billing model meaning all of the pre and post natal care is covered under the same cpt code for delivering the baby. That’s how they know how much it is going to cost.

Omni Mt Washington is a beautiful property.
You should be passing through New Haven between NYC and Newport. Sally’s Apizza was great and you can visit Yale.

Not sure why the downvote.
They are a good team. First game played very well. Second game, to me, was coaching mistakes. Trying to force the ball inside. Trying to get into certain hands and the offense went stagnant for most of the game.
