Mid City Minute: May 8, 2026
Your Mid City Baton Rouge guide to News, Events, & Other Stuff.
This is NOT A DRILL! Mother’s Day is THIS Sunday! It’s probably too late to make brunch reservations at one of our award winning restaurants but you still have time to grab a gift!
Don’t forget you can find links to the Mid City Directory, Recurring Events, and Volunteering Opportunities on the Mid City Minute website.
