And while I live in the Baton Rouge area; I'm rooting for Lake Charles's resurgence. I'm still very angry at the lack of attention or support that area got after the 2020 hurricanes.

The industrial base of both of those towns are super impressive for their size. I know neither are the most impressive visually for people passing through. But the world needs places like Baton Rouge and Lake Charles (and Lafayette, New Iberia, Beaumont/Port Arthur, and New Orleans). They aren't perfect, but those are areas that still manufacture and produce things. Lots of dying midwestern towns wish they had just a fraction of those industrial jobs that are commonplace in south Louisiana.

I'm glad Lake Charles is recovering. Just wish it were quicker and that our government didn't just ignore them after Laura. Not sure how you can live through 2020-present and not be totally cynical about our government and leaders.
