The second annual 'We Live It' Downtown Distinction Award campaign continues to recognize downtown businesses and organizations for their outstanding efforts to beautify and maintain their exteriors. Each month an awardee will be recognized and at the end of twelve months, the people will vote for their favorite!
JUNE AWARDEE / TOURIST DESTINATION CATEGORY The Louisiana Art & Science Mseum (LASM) is located in a 1925 historic railway station, on the banks of the Mississippi River at 100 S. River Road. It is nestled in the heart of the Central Green and anchored by two plazas; Yazoo Plaza and Riverfront Plaza.
The maintenance of the LASM facility and grounds is a unique partnership between East Baton Rouge City-Parish and LASM, with GreenSeasons contracted for landscape maintenance. The original design of the landscape was also a unique partnership between the City-Parish, DDD, and several volunteer local architects and landscape architects.
If you haven't experienced LASM's educational and entertaining displays and/or planetarium showings, stop by and enhance your understanding and appreciation of art and science!
Congratulations to LASM for being this month's Downtown Distinction awardee!! Stay tuned for next month's winner in the Entertainment Venue Category!
