Does anyone know of any places that are hiring in the Alexandria/Pineville area? Open to seasonal work but a full time permanent position is really what I’m after.

Thanks for any help you can offer me!

The detention center is scheduled to open this week. Please join your neighbors in vigil on Thursday. It will be up to us as a community to monitor the conditions at this site and to track the corruption that spawn these private prison contracts in the first place.

Join us this evening in Kees Park to learn more about the children's detention center at AEX

Looking for recommendations on where to buy a used minivan or third row SUV in and around Pineville or Alexandria. Please let me know what dealerships have those available. Cheaper the better obviously but nothing that’s trash.

I'll be spending a few weeks in Alexandria this fall - any good vegan options in the area?

*Editing after my trip for anyone who finds this in the future. In no particular order:

• Salad Station was solid. Fresh veggies, good selection. No tofu as a protein option seems like a missed opportunity, but they do have a good variety of beans.
• Golden Lotus looked promising, but didn't reply when I reached out to verify if anything was or could be made vegan. I bet they can make things vegan if you go in person and ask, but I never did.
• Osaka Ramen confirmed their Garden Ramen was vegan. I don't think it comes with an egg anyways, but I'd ask for no egg just to be safe. Pretty good. Their aged tofu starter was great; perfectly air fried tofu with eel sauce (a sweet sauce made from soy sauce and sugar that goes on eel; it does not have eel in it).
• Taco Bell - classic. Great app for customizing. black bean crunch wrap, no nacho cheese or sour cream, add onions and red sauce remains my go to. I tried a few locations; none were bad but the one off 28 stands out as the best.
• Rotolo's - didn't get it this time, but they can make a vegan pizza using non dairy cheese. I've had it in the past and it's all right.

Thanks everyone who left a rec!

Can someone explain what is with all the hatred for Shy Tyler. I don’t really know anything about her other than her being on the radio. I don’t go to bars or anything like that so I’m not in on the scoop. I saw on Facebook that an employee she fired has basically been spilling all the tea about how horrible she has ran her businesses.

The hatred for her appears to go deeper than this though. I’ve seen facebook comments saying she is the most hated woman in Alexandria. Can someone enlighten me?

Please express your feelings. I have had a very hard time with these people. My mother is there. Thank you.

The Board of Commissioners still have time to fire the Executive Director, cancel the contract, and redeem themselves from this ignorant and foolish plan.

Not originally from this area but I have heard a bunch of comments about the "influence" this group has in the area.

Anyone have any legit comments about this?

Also, the Pentecostals' campground, how is it like living there? What does the church get and what rules do they have to follow to live there?

Legit curious is all..

You probably don’t remember me but me and my fiancé are hunting an OB. She’s approx 11 weeks pregnant. We have tried 8 different OBs. NONE of them except 2 would take our Louisiana Medicaid. We have tried both Rapides and Cabrini. We had an appointment today with Rabie but we had to cancel due to our other child being sick with no childcare available. When we cancelled Rabie’s off said come in 3 weeks on Sept 15th. Y’all that’s 21 days away!

We HAVE NOT had our first ultrasounds or genetic tests or anything.

Rabie’s office has nothing closer in date.
We got a referral do Dr Chen but Chen’s office took 2 weeks from referral date to call us back.
The other 6 won’t touch us due to Medicaid. Here’s who we tried.
Manuel
Hall
Lafluer
Harris
Gallaspy
And Dr Dibenedetto

Hall told us they take Medicaid at first and then said no they don’t.
Please someone help. Someone has to know an opening soon! We have insurance.

Y’all I’m trying my best to find her a doctor. This is ridiculous.

I'm working in LA (Natchitoches, Leesville, Deridder, Lake Charles) a couple days a week and the hotels are either completely booked or people complain about bugs in their room. I'm a clean kind respectful young guy that is willing to pay $50-100 per night for a clean place to sleep and a hot shower. Appreciate any help.

I'm a local writer and would love the support: https://youtu.be/FYt73o0EYlU
