Hey, all you New Orleans haters: What's your problem with Baton Rouge?

But it seems that without fail, any time we post about Baton Rouge on the New Orleans site, the haters emerge. My colleague Emily Lane's post on Friday on Baton Rouge being named one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country is the latest example.

The fact that Baton Rouge is booming economically should be great news for Louisiana, right?

Not according to our New Orleans commentators.

New Orleans - Catholic
Baton Rouge - Protestant Rednecks

From comments section:
quote:

I don't like Baton Rouge because I'm not an LSU fan, and Baton Rouge is Tiger mecca for insufferable corn dogs. The corndogginess is diluted in New Orleans, i.e. fewer swimming pools with eye of the tiger floors; fewer purple and gold confederate flags; and fewer chants of "Tiger bait," which doesn't even make sense.

quote:

I am from New Orleans and have lived in Baton Rouge area since 2006. I hate it. No culture and no decent restaurants. The best they can do is the chain restaurants. Even the Ruth Chris in Baton Rouge is terrible. What do people do for fun in Baton Rouge? Even people who are native to the city don't have a clue of what to do for fun in Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge is the pitts. Can't wait to move back to New Orleans

So New Orleans haters don't like BR either? I would think it's bc they are from out off state if they hate on the 2 biggest cities in Louisiana.

Baton Rouge sucks but I do agree New Orleans residents carry a lot of butthurt to others who don't live in the city. Hell, even for people who live in Metairie/Kenner

How are the two at odds? They both display a severe lack of oral and general hygiene. Intelligence is suspect at best.

Both have positive and negatives. New Orleans residents just pretend their negatives don't exist.

BR people hate their own city and are more realistic to the negatives. Although they do little to correct it.

Also, BR needs to stop trying to become New Orleans.

Most New Orleans people don't hate Baton Rouge, and most Baton Rouge people dont hate New Orleans. Stupid clickbait article, although it should be pure gold on the OT.
