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.

Can we share? How much are you being quoted (or paying) for a new a/c unit?

We got quotes this week for new a/c unit installation. 1.5 ton , 15 seer. Premier model is $13K and the economy is $11K. Add an additional $3K to each quote if you want hepa filter "air quality" yada yada yada upgrades. Is everyone paying these prices in Baton Rouge? I gasped and clutched my faux pearls. Is my shock justified or do I need to get in line with these prices? If the price is close to on point, any chance they go down in September?

Good apartments for couples

Hi all, my fiancée and I are going to be moving in January back to Baton Rouge from Denham Springs, and we're looking for a good one bedroom apartment that can fit two people and three cats. Tell me who to avoid and who to keep an eye out for! We're looking for 1k or 1.1k just to fit within our budget. Thanks!

Best way/events to learn Mahjong?

Me and a few friends are interested in learning Mahjong, we know of the program at the library on Tuesdays but found out it’s not for lessons.

Anyone know of any Mahjong groups who teach new beginners? I got an app on my phone but it only lets me play 2 games a day for free and I still have trouble understanding it

Old lamps needing repair

I bought a few Tiffany style lamps at an estate sale that need repair. One was working, but won’t turn on, now. One needs a cord replaced. and one has the screw at the top that won’t screw on.

Is there a place that does this kind of work? Suggestions! I really love these lamps. They are small.

Baton Rouge Water Company Disconnect

I had until the end of yesterday to pay my water bill (from disconnect notice), but I can't pay it online until this afternoon. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to come to disconnect your water, or should I be fine paying it today?

Boys trip to LSU Football Game

I live in Utah and have never been to an SEC football game. This is the first year of an annual boys trip where we will travel to a big college football game. We are starting with the LSU v Mississippi State game. We’ll be there Friday night, all day Saturday, and then fly out on Sunday.

What should we do while we are there to get the real LSU football experience? We love to eat and are looking forward to some good Cajun food!

Bar scene for mid to late 20s

My best friend (26F) recently became single, and she’s starting to get back into the dating scene. She is coming stay with me this weekend for a little girls night, but I don’t go out very often. What are good bars in the area for her to mingle & meet people, without any of the college chaos? Also taking recs for dinner spots, we are tired of always going to BLDG5!
