Is the restaurant open to the public? I’ve never had it on my radar to go to. In fact, never seen anything about it.

I can't find anything on the Google about the judge and what he did to ruin Baton Rouge care to enlighten me?

I can’t find much either but judging by the years he served I’m imagining he was the one who forced the bussing.

Maybe so? But it was that land that’s all been built up. Then it was the horse farm. Some of the farm is still there. I could be off a little, it’s been so long ago. And back then, Burger King on Jeff Hwy and Lobdell was about it at night.

He has been one of the reasons BR education is shite now.

DPW wants 1/2 of the property for “dry retention”
I spoke to the owner a year ago. I think their plan is to use the funds from DPW to create a Par 3 course by the driving range

He destroyed neighborhood schools. Bussed kids all over town in arbitrary and changing rules.
It made it meaningless to say a house was in a good school district.
But worst of all, it broke up kids growing up together, doing the same homework, having the same teachers, playing on the same sports teams and creating strong neighborhood pride and lifelong friendships.
Private schools popped up in response and further broke the bonds of kids knowing their neighbors.
Parents had no incentive to support the neighborhood school or go across town to be a presence at their kid’s school as often and nobody cared anymore.
It killed the city.

Restaurant and bar are open to the public and pretty good.
As for the rest of the club it’s a pool, tennis courts, and a worn down driving range.

This never existed. Known as “the downtown airport” was the airport located at what is now Independence Park where the main library is, state police headquarters, the DMV , etc.

This area of town is so ugly compared to other areas of BR. Depressing 50’s - 70’s homes and shopping centers. I can’t see it ever being what it once was.

A 65’ roll of astroturf is a few hundred bucks, it wouldn’t be hard to replace it occasionally so you aren’t hitting off what’s now basically green colored concrete

BR schools were segregated like every other school system in the south, essentially via neighborhood schools, etc. Then the feds passed all the deseg orders and Judge John Parker, a federally appointed piece of shite, decided to mandate all neighborhood schools desegregate via forced bussing. Almost overnight, kids who lived in Broadmoor were shipped to Belaire, kids at Capitol were shipped to Woodlawn, etc. Plus kids were sent to bus exchanges and it was taking an hour+ to get anywhere they needed to go.
It basically created the private Catholic school renaissance here, decimated and destroyed the public school system into complete shite, and that was that.

Yes. In the area of Walk-Ons. I could I be off on the exact names of Town Centre/Corporate. Don’t live there anymore, but that area is home to me, and where I’d want to live if I ever moved back.
