The final weekend before Mardi Gras is here, meaning crowds of people will be descending upon downtown and Spanish Town to partake in the last of the festivities.

And most importantly, a prime spot for the Spanish Town parade! Our priorities at 23 were a bit different, but our love for the neighborhood hasn't faded.
I'd always said there is nowhere else in Baton Rouge I would rather live, even once we had a kid. Of course, once the kid actually comes along the thought process is a little different. Once I got pregnant,...
