re: What is the worst town in the South?

Since people are negging on the 225...

Having moved away from BR, it's not as bad as I thought, and it's getting a lot better. South Baton Rouge around Highland Road is a pretty scenic area. Relatively educated middle class population due to there being a university, the state capital, and the petrochemical industry there. It's also the most forested city in the country (most trees per area for cities over a certain threshold in population). I went out downtown a few weeks ago and it's dramatically better than it was 5 years ago. As far as southern cities go, the people are also friendly southerners but they don't usually have annoying arse accents like people from MS, AL, etc.
