Speaking of clouds, I used the Doppler radar to find an opening in the clouds and was able to catch a nice glimpse of the eclipse near Atchafalaya. (Picture taken through eclipse glasses)

^Well, lol! I skimmed through the master plan and saw they won't be having elephants anymore. Honestly that's probably a good idea as I read elephants go half crazy being locked up in captivity but I also think it's kind of lame as elephants are zoo headliners of sorts.

Smh, maybe we should call the Preisdent since he knows how to handle pipelines.

Nope, the master plan said something like 2046 but we know atleast in state government time that could mean 2060. One critique I do have is that in the concept art the top portion of the entrance building was all glass like the middle portion. I think the current design is fine but maybe they should add some banners or murals to break up the grey.

Ikr, that was an unlikely but great pivot by LSU.

I snapped a few picks of the new zoo entrance and it looks really good. They're also working on a beautiful new playground, I kind of wanted to go play on it myself lol!

I wish, we'd be lucky to get a simple 12 story tower. Lol!

I couldn't find this posted.

That's interesting. You usually only think of faults being in California but but I guess they're everywhere. Where is the College Drive one? I'm sure I've seen it and it didn't register as a fault.

Thanks! I'll have to take a look there one day. It's probably not the season for em yet but I went to Manchac park near south Jefferson Hwy but didn't see any.

Hmm, I was thinking an LSU location would be better but come to think of it I don't know if they have anywhere with enough space.

I think either location could work well though I'm leaning towards LSU.

Decided to go on an adventure to Barataria to see if I could spot some alligators and actually did find a few. Had anyone ever been on the Alligator Bayou tour that operated near Manchac Bayou in Ascension/Iberville? By the time I learned about it way back it had already closed.

Definitely way back, that must have been from even before Bon Marche.
