The building is on the National Register of Historic Places, and was also named on Sunday as one of the ten most endangered historic sites in our state by The Trust for Historic Louisiana. Although the high school is one of the top-ranked academically in the state, students are learning in a decaying building: water damage from leaks in the roof, falling plaster, decaying bricks. The school board is trying to determine whether the school should be partially or completely renovated, or whether it should be torn down and a new school built. Allumni of the school who hope to preserve the historic front building are gathering support for their cause through a petition drive and a Facebook group.<br /><br />Here's a fun fact about BRMHS: Elvis Presley played a concert here in 1955...Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00901933554552119361noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308763284045033884.post-84487245426758040132007-09-18T18:38:00.000-07:002008-12-10T14:08:42.692-08:00Preparing For Liftoff<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50_Lt0VK543M4oFl6pGbwb0QGi3khO9z6HHy16Dy5YkmVlcMoepNPr86z489bmXMbQw-eLAWAwMGNTViu1lrLwwzyHrFGR_m46jPQSbTS0-_OwTFSWD0M1wdYbz-JH9sKeXqMv0dQ19c/s1600-h/100_0184.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj50_Lt0VK543M4oFl6pGbwb0QGi3khO9z6HHy16Dy5YkmVlcMoepNPr86z489bmXMbQw-eLAWAwMGNTViu1lrLwwzyHrFGR_m46jPQSbTS0-_OwTFSWD0M1wdYbz-JH9sKeXqMv0dQ19c/s400/100_0184.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5111724283240434706" /></a><br />When the <a href="http://brdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/08/up-up-and-away.html">balloon championships</a> were in town, it seemed like competitors were taking off wherever they could find an open space.

Traffic booths like the one pictured above are set up at ten locations throughout the campus to restrict the flow of vehicles along streets. Faculty and staff who have a special access card will be able to travel along the roads, but students who commute will have to park their cars in the lots surrounding the campus and move it on foot to class, which most did anyway before this program began. It will be interesting to see if this program eliminates those drivers who think that the "Yield To Pedestrians" signs at crosswalks are suggestions for someone else.Tarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00901933554552119361noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-308763284045033884.post-35075235390615599032007-08-01T16:25:00.000-07:002008-12-10T14:08:44.852-08:00August Theme Photo: Breakfast<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMas9UDNETV5s7FRISw9p_t9r5CSOvJtv-MYFEgEk3cd63n8p9lEinm69k88ZaTrEXMuL3LiATC0-v1DIVqpWZtE4sA_QYwgdcsiuHp1IipVG98brDWJJqinRDBhQZbAFfBB3E9mQiaHw/s1600-h/100_0161.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMas9UDNETV5s7FRISw9p_t9r5CSOvJtv-MYFEgEk3cd63n8p9lEinm69k88ZaTrEXMuL3LiATC0-v1DIVqpWZtE4sA_QYwgdcsiuHp1IipVG98brDWJJqinRDBhQZbAFfBB3E9mQiaHw/s400/100_0161.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093878134390732818" /></a><br /><br />This month's Theme is a Typical Breakfast, so above here is the breakfast I ate this morning: a bowl of corn flakes in skim milk, and a sliced nectarine. <br /><br />Then I go to work and eat cupcakes out of the vending machine. <br /><br />There are currently 86 blogs participating in this Theme Day:<br /><a href="http://visualstpaul.blogspot.com/" target="_new">Saint Paul (MN), USA</a> -
