You came down Highland Rd from downtown? That's the only rundown area as you near the campus. Nicholson Dr north toward downtown is slowly being rennovated and the 4 North, east, and south entrances are just fine.

I have been around and in BR since 1960 and the areas around the campus look better than they ever have.

The areas around campus on all sides are dumps. You're just acclimated to it.

Wrong Nicholson north of the campus looked much better as did Highland, and State Street did in the 60s and 70s. Dalrymple looked better, the Lakes are pitiful now. That even impacts the entry on South Lakeshore.

Stanford looks better. There wasn’t much on Nicholson and Burbank. Highland south of LSU has also hung on fairly well.

Many of the area around the campus has declined. Unless something really big happens it will not rebound any time soon.
