This tiny farm setting had all the fun, a playground, massive sand pit, covered dining and picnic area, ponies to ride, varied animals to feed and others to admire. Both kids and adults made their ways to each area. I thought this was a really nice little place to bring kids. Highly recommend.

Our family appreciates having Sugar Roots as we have two littles that love animals! It's nice being…read moreable to purchase the feed for the chickens and goats so that we can interact with them.

WELCOME TO THE PARISH!!!!!!…read more St Bernard Parish has flourished post Hurricane Katrina. As a child, I can distinctly remember this area being not as "fun", actually NO FUN; but now there's a hospital, a WalMart, an IHOP, a Home Depot, a movie theater, a plethora of fast food eateries, shops ie dollar tree (my fav), Rue 21 & I can go on & on. There's a new state of the art high school. The police/sheriff department "seems" to be a lot better, although recently marred by scandal but what police/sheriff's department isn't, anywho. Nunez Community College has/is growing by leaps & bounds (although this seems to be the "par for the course" as of late) & is making an impact on the community at large; impressive. Unfortunate for this area, they still get lots of flooding, even now post-Katrina. All in all, I frequent the area more now than ever before. I'm quite pleased with the progress in the area & hope they continue.

RUBARB is a community bike project located in the 9th ward, in the back of St. Mary of the Angels…read morechurch (where Common Ground used to be headquartered). RUBARB stands for Rusted Up Beyond All Recognition Bikes, and began when, after the storm, volunteers began pulling unused bikes out of garbage piles and fixing them up for both residents and volunteers. It is completely volunteer run and thus is only open Mon. 10-2, Wed. 3:30-6, and Sat. 1-6. I just picked up my bike and I love it. The selection is obviously small, since it's all donated or found bikes that are fixed up by volunteers, but I got an excellently shitty Columbia 3-speed (now single-speed since it's missing shifters and gears, ha) for $50. One of the raddest things about RUBARB is their Earn-a-bike program for youth. Saturdays are dedicated to the kids, who come to learn how to fix and build their bikes, learning about parts and mechanics, eating snacks, and just hanging out. If you see a kid biking around the 8th or 9th ward, chances are they got it here. All the volunteer adults that I've met have been really great, extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. This is not a fancy place by any means. They are always in need of volunteers, art supplies, bike supples, tools, etc., so if you've got any extra resources, put them to good use here!

His explanation made absolutely no sense at all. I shop,donate and round up at this store. Another customer I met in the store said this has been going on for years, just do away with the color of the day it'll save the workers from having to remove then replace those items back on the racks.
