Lafayette is safer, easier to travel around, has better food, hotter women, better schools,
i have seen some pics/vid of the schools on fb. rotting t buildings, leaking auditoriums. the half cent tax to fix those things failed. needless to say, educators aren't too happy with lafayette these days.

aside from being so different, br is the perfect distance so that i can go to nola, do something and get the heck out of there.Posted on 5/21/17 at 9:07 am to tduecen
one thing few people talk about is how it's not too big, not too small. you get urbane things without the headaches (atlanta, l.a., chicago, nyc)
although, the arena situation is one of the biggest missing elements. the cajun dome is getting the biggest shows. that one may plague b.r. for some time because it doesn't seem like there's an easy solution.

My neighbors , my friends, my wife's relatives, the Buddhist temple, the Brec park in my neighborhood, my favorite restaurants, BRMHS, LSU, a few of my favorite coffee shops and nature spot-that's about it.
It's a city in steep decline. I may be forced to leave. I came back to it from a superior place and like the people here better, but it's eating itself with social pathology and general trashinness. To the point where we now talk about the decline with our friends and neighbors.

Is this the place that only took cash? Is it still that way? Always thought that was a fun experience.
Why would BR be better if it closed?

I assume you meant urban. To remotely equate BR to those cities is crazy. I would flip it around...you get all the problems of a major city (traffic, crime, poor schools, poverty, crumbling infrastructure, etc.) without the benefits. I moved to Seattle 18 months ago, after 33 years in BR, and couldn't be
happier (especially now that the rains have ended!).

I can't help but laugh when I read shite like this. Some of y'all have a flair for the over dramatic. You'd think that Baton Rouge was devolving into lawlessness overnight. There was lots of worse places to live. The city was on a definite upswing until last summer when things went to hell in a hand basket over the period of a few short months.

That is true. Give me the option of living in BR over Syria and I guess I'll go with BR.
And when your main selling point of a city is "well there are worse places to live" ....yeah kinda lame

Culcha. Now Shreveport. There is a city on the upswing. Getting a lot of refugees from Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

You aren't paying close attention then.

This is basically the whole state in a nutshell and when you have elected officials feeding (hell, engorging themselves) on this mentality for their very existence, it's not a recipe for anything appetizing for anyone who just wants a healthy fulfilling existence for oneself and one's family.

When has it not been the whole state in a nutshell? I feel like it's been this way for decades.

I think so.
The pizza is not good. The building and the whole place is rundown and nasty.
Change the name of the place and put it anywhere else in the city and it would be closed in 6 months

Yeah, true. It seems to wax and wane just enough to show a glimmer of what it could be on rare occasions.
Posted on 5/21/17 at 9:53 am to Jones
That pizza is incredible. And that place has a ton of character and history. If you think it's nasty, maybe there's a strip mall pizza place you'd enjoy more somewhere.
