at finding a cab in Baton Rouge, but otherwise looks legit. BR>>>NO

Well, that's absurd.

I don't mind living in B.R., but N.O. is a paradise for young professionals.

What about Livingston Parish?

I much prefer the bigger lots and living amongst church attending folk. Not to mention working in the plants .

Same here, BR realistically belongs on the San Francisco/New York tier.

I would consider moving back to Baton Rouge or Lafayette if there were more lucrative jobs in my field.

New Orleans isn't appealing to me. Maybe 10 years ago, but not now.

I guess I can buy Baton Rouge's ranking if that is the criteria. It is fairly cheap to live there, the place is stocked like a trout pond because of the higher ed, and there are good jobs there if you are in the right field.

The plants sure are a thriving networking scene for young professionals.

Someone forgot to do a little research on what the scene is like in N.O.

Nashville has too many universities and post grads in the work force not to make that list.

NY #1? This article must be directed to young adults with a trust fund.

Young professionals sure do love them some Chilis and Buffalo Wild Wings
