Most recently, I came here for a meeting, and we used the back room. This was a great space for a meeting. It was a medium sized room, but there were tons of chairs and even a spot of food to be. I really liked how you had to walk through the library to get to it... it felt like you were apart of the library instead of feeling isolated off to the side. Another I love about this library is the safety and convince. At the doors there are security like pillars and you can even drop off your books at the slot outside. This location is very convenient for me because I live close to the area. I like how it isn't too big, like the main location, but it is easier to locate what exactly you are looking for. Love this library!

Now with the age of the Internet, I have to be honest, it is not often I visit a library. So, again it was nostalgic experience. This library is huge and I love their kids section! Yes, we will be visiting more often. I like the thought of "renting" books because it's nice to not to have to always buy them. My daughter was so excited to see so many books and it was funny to hear her say "can we buy this book"? Throughout the year, they have live performances - dances, plays, storytimes, etc. For adults, there are quiet places to read and mellow out. Will I be visiting the library more now? Of course, I will, now that I'll be living a bit closer to one.

This is definitely our neighborhood library and we love it.

The library is divided into two main sections, books on one end and computer lab/ activities rooms on the other. Computer side is where my attentions fall, with 54 high speed computers to choose from, there is never a wait or hassle. Across from the computer lab is the "Idea Lab," which is a small high tech room which has low cost 3D printing available and a computer equip with virtual reality. The staff that I've come across are always kind with a willingness to help.

This is a very modern courthouse on North Blvd. in downtown Baton Rouge not far from the…read moreMississippi River. 11 stories tall with some great views. The courtrooms start on the 3rd floor I believe and go all the way to the 10th floor. Each floor has 4 courtrooms and they are spacious and well appointed. Modern but still have have that austere solemnity that a courtroom should have. Parking is a b*tch and I recommend parking in the parking garage at City Plaza which is like a block and a half from the courthouse because getting in and out is easy-breezy and it is pretty cheap cost wise. Most people do not want to find themselves at a courthouse because that usually means something good is not happening but if, like me, your job takes you here I think you'll be impressed with this place especially if you take my parking tip.

Every city, town, village, whatever... needs a community center! In our first 5 years in Louisiana,…read morewe spent a lot of time at the Addis Community Center - from church events, concerts, weddings, to fun community events. Much of my daughter's toddler life was spent having fun there. Every time I pass it, I have many fond memories of it. It was always very clean and their kitchen was huge too and super helpful when serving food. The stage area was huge and perfect for many different functions. The parking lot was pretty big, too, good for many cars. It's located on the west side area is Baton Rouge and just off the Highway 1. This is probably the smallest I had ever lived in and I remember making the fondest memories and making new and lasting friendships at that community center. This was exactly how I have always wanted a place like this to be used. It serves the best purpose for the people of the town of Addis & surrounding towns.

One of the best parts--there's no fee to get in, which makes it an easy and worthwhile stop. The building has two floors to explore, with both stairs and an elevator available, so it's accessible for most visitors. The highlight is the beautiful stained glass ceiling, which is truly stunning and something you don't want to miss. Overall, a great experience for anyone interested in history or architecture. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Think high tea with scones and tidbit plates with the chandeliers brightly lit. Unfortunately, it wasn't set up like this, but it doesn't hurt to visualize, right? When I went, the venue was set up with rows of chairs and 2 grand pianos up front. Still quite lovely. It definitely could use a few updates, but not too many because it will take away from the historical feel of the space. I am not sure what else this space is most used for, but it's nice to know that it exists because I'd love to let more people know about it! It's definitely a hidden gem in downtown Baton Rouge.
