AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Local Legacy Story: Baton Rouge police captain-turned-cook Wirt “Mr. Blue” Bellue, 81, still runs Bellue’s Fine Cajun Cuisine on Scenic Highway—his welding-to-waiting-rooms journey since 1968 is the kind of grit locals keep coming back for. Gulf Coast Retail Shakeup: Casey’s is rapidly expanding along the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast after buying Fike’s Wholesale, while Buc-ee’s keeps pushing into the region—more competition for road-trippers and tourists. Sports & Travel Buzz: The Pelicans and Spurs are reportedly set for NBA Global Games matchups abroad, and American Airlines is rolling out a massive 2026 football travel push with thousands of extra seats. Politics & Rights: Thousands rallied in Alabama to protect Black voting power after SCOTUS changes how map challenges are argued. Health & Safety Watch: A judge is set to rule on key use in the Luigi Mangione case, while Ebola in Congo and Uganda has been declared a global emergency.
