r/WestminsterCO, where do you actually eat in Westminster?

Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota-restaurant-ratings/id6744969212

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

MHS

Going to McKinley high school this year, my older brother graduated from here just over a year or two ago, but is there anything I should be looking out for?

I’ve seen tiktoks recently on them taking pills and drug dealing, which I feel like is the normal for high school, but is there anything I should avoid?

Does anyone have any stories about the Fountain of Light Bookshop that used to be on Jefferson Hwy?

I found this on Tumblr, but can't find any information about it online. I'm not expecting it to still be open - the ad screams late 70s/early 80s, and bookstores don't last that long down here, especially occult ones. I would love to know if anyone has any stories about the place they can share.

Fine Line Tattoo Artist Walk-Ins?

Hey all!

I’m from out of town, WV to be exact. I spent a large chunk of my childhood in Louisiana thanks to my mom who grew up outside of New Orleans.

I’m in for a cousins wedding in New Roads, LA. I’m wanting to drive into BR tomorrow before the wedding and try to get a tattoo that fits what I currently have on my right arm that embodies Louisiana - crawfish, state outline, magnolia flower, etc. Sounds dumb to most, but it’s what I want.

Does anyone know of a fine line artist that accepts walk-ins?

TIA!

Suggestions please for this rainy weather

How to earn 20 when raining? I did some mowing lawns, cleaning bins and sometimes minor roof works for a while but due to the recent weather I am not able to do it. Suggestions please or if you know anything just so we can have some warm food for this coming weekend. Thanks

Monthly Marketplace/Classifieds Mega Thread

https://preview.redd.it/c95myn26at7g1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=900b41337a8fc665e688a8e644c4331262e5a341

Welcome Traffic Lovers!

Welcome to the monthly Buy / Sell / Trade thread for the Baton Rouge area. Whether you're looking to score a deal on a video game or movie, find a roommate, or trade something local, this is the spot to share your listings and links! Gofundme links are allowed; however, they will be reviewed.

Just a quick note: to keep things tidy, please keep all buy / sell / trade posts in this thread. Standalone posts in the subreddit will be removed so everything stays easy to find.

Happy swapping!

A quick reminder to help keep things safe and smooth for everyone:

Before moving forward with any deal, it's a good idea to check out the post and comment history of the person you're chatting with. If their account looks new or doesn’t have much activity, that doesn’t always mean something’s wrong but it’s smart to ask for extra proof of the item, just to be sure.

Trust your instincts and do a little due diligence. Services like SpyDialer can help verify phone numbers. VOIP or out-of-state numbers can sometimes be red flags (though not always).

If you're meeting in person, aim for a public spot with lots of people and/or security. A great option is the Police Station on Airline (the one near the old Women’s Hospital). Try to avoid meetups at someone’s home or a random gas station. Bringing a friend along is always a plus.

And finally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, don’t hand over any money until you’ve seen the item in person. Do not pay for something with gift cards!

Rehoming reactive dog

This is probably a long shot but are there any sanctuaries in our area for reactive dogs/ dogs with bite history? We sadly cannot keep our dog around our small children due to his unpredictable nature. We don’t want t to put him down if possible, and hoping there are some resources that might be out there. Thanks

Petit Fours recommendations

Visiting this weekend for a family wedding. My MiL grew up in BR, loved PFs and would get them from Baum's and Cake Palace. She says they're both closed, would love to get her some that are good and similar to those places. Any recommendations?

Edit - Thank you everyone for the suggestions! We already had ambrosia labeled to try so definitely getting theirs. Will also try sugar me sweet. Thank you again!

Reputable Solar Panel Companies

I know a good number of solar companies are scams (when I lived in New Orleans I dealt with such an entity), but I'm sure a few are honest and that's who I want to do business with.

So, good citizens of Baton Rouge, who do ya recommend? 😁

Looking for a tennis/pickleball group for 30-somethings in BR

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone knew of or was part of an intramural pickleball (or tennis) team? I want to play so badly, but I don’t have anyone to play with. I’m hoping for a non-competitive group that is there to play, have fun, and make friends. If anyone is aware of a group or ‘league’ like this please let me know!

Thanks so much!!!

Edit: I would like to clarify, as a 30-year-old I don’t want to make it sound like you MUST be between the ages of 30 and 39! 20-somethings and up are totally welcome! Wanted to clarify bc I was concerned my heading made me sound like an ass!

BRCC ADVICE PLS

New student interested in any information about the

MA program this fall semester. When will financial aid be offered? When should I submit my Medical assistance program application? Will act scores be used or will I need to take the placement test before submitting application? Also any other important or helpful tips about the program and process will be much appreciated…….

Also what are some grants/financial aid I should be applying for that doesn't have to be repaid ? Seems I can't get a whole lot of information because I am going to apply for fall 2026 medical assistant program. My fafsa has been processed and I've been accepted to brcc. I need to submit my application for the program, l guess take the placement test or I'm not sure if my act scores will be used.... I'm assuming it's way too early to get clear information from advisors (as I have been to student center Monday) and really didn't get much info. THANK YOU FOR ANY ADVICE AND INFO.
