I was driving along Bluff Rd and spotted some alligators. They jumped off the log into the water when they saw me but you can kind of see them in the picture. There's also an egret.

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.

^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.

Here is a satellite image from about 2 weeks ago. You can see that they are completely stalled on the section where the Florida Gas Pipeline is still just sitting there just east of highway 19. Progress isn't happening.
Smh, maybe we should call the Preisdent since he knows how to handle pipelines.

I'm impressed with the Zoo progress.
It's far from done though. It's open, but you aren't seeing all of the new stuff yet.
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.

Pretend that you went back in time 5 years. Now imagine your reaction if someone told you that by 2024, LSU women's basketball would have a nationally recognized coach, a national championship, sell out every home game, break attendance records for EVERY one of their SEC away games, and be a catalyst for a brand new arena that's likely to be the largest in the conference........
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!

Found this Map of BR's 2 Fault Line's .......not sure of the exact accuracy ; Was not aware of the Northern one
But the Southern one is well known and highly visible on the College Drive "Hill" a couple blocks North of I-10;
also cut across the old Woodlawn middle school in SE BR Tiger Bend Rd/ Jones Creek Rd ; cracks in the foundation (in the gym) began to compromising the structure ; then prompting them to move the School to a new location next door; but they prolly should have moved it to a completely different area instead; because now the school is beginning to have cracks in the pluming/sewage system
There is a BREC Park walking trail at the old school location
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.

That's really cool Dan!! Nice pics! Have never been to either one .....sounds like that would be Fun!
Have seen em at my cousin's large pond near Port Vincent and Ward Creek at Highland Road
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.

Is Dicks' Sporting Goods the same as Dick's House of Sports?
I thought for sure that Lifetime Fitness would have gone up around there by now.
I think its a new concept they're developing.

Dick's House of Sport eyes Sears space at Mall of Louisiana | Business | theadvocate.com
This would be interesting to see. I do wonder how they could make it all fit though because I'm not eve sure if the Sears building is as large as the Dicks they have now.

The Constantin project is why they are tearing down the old seafood restaurant across from Mall of LA. My only complaint about the plan is that it's taking so darn long to execute. The restaurant has been closed for some time - it's ready to be demolished and this street to be built. I do wish there was a connection to Essen Park Ln somehow across the creek. That's expensive though. Maybe it will happen eventually.

Aldi has plans to build its third grocery store in Baton Rouge. See where.
