If you want to jaunt up I-49 and visit Alexandria, you can see one of my personal favorites. It's called "Magic Christmas" and it's a long-time favorite in the CENLA area.
The storms that blew through Central Louisiana caused major damage and took one life.
The Alexandria and Pineville areas were hit hard, with tornado(es) damaging homes, businesses, schools, and churches. At least one school had to hold kids until after 6pm due to downed power lines...
If you're looking to beat the heat and take a quick road trip, this could be just what you're looking for. June 30th, Slide the City is returning to Downtown, Alexandria for Summer Splash.
