The Best Mexican Food in Louisiana Hands Down | Pedro's Tacos & Tequila Bar in Baton Rouge

 If you have been following this blog, and my restaurant reviews, then you know that I have been on a quest for five years to find Mexican Food on par with what I used to enjoy out west. In my culinary adventures here in the Pelican State I have managed, through trial and error, to find a handful of  decent places to grab some south of the border inspired meals. Though the food has been good, it simply didn't excite my taste buds the way that I had become accustomed.

Louisiana Through My Lens | Getting Close To God and Nature | Fort Buhlow Recreation Area in Pineville

I spent a couple of days last week walking around the Fort Buhlow Recreation Area here in Pineville, Louisiana. It is truly one of the hidden gems in the central part of the state. The park is rather huge, spanning 100 acres nestled between Lake Buhlow and the Red River. The park features a championship caliber Disc Golf Course, 2 and 3 mile hiking trails, two playgrounds, numerous picnic areas and a boat launch on the river. It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon with the family.

The Los Angeles Rams Land Top Rated Florida State Pass Rusher Jared Verse In The First Round Of The 2024 NFL Draft

 In the hours prior to the start of the 2024 NFL Draft a rumor began circulating that the Los Angeles Rams were actively working the phones trying to hammer out a trade to acquire a top 10 pick. Sources had stated that there was a player slated to go early in the draft that Rams coach Sean McVay was absolutely in love with. Those sources believed that the player in question was an offensive player, but was not supposed to be one of the top rated quarterback prospects. Many believed that the player the Rams were targeting may have been Washington receiver Rome Odunze, whom the team had met with in person during the scouting combine.
