So now Baton Rouge will finally have an "authentic" suburb. Even Shreveport has Bossier.
I wouldn’t call it a suburb, it may be co cities because of population.
One example although they are further apart, Mobile/Pensacola. Shreveport could actually be 3 cities in one Shreveport/Bossier/Texarkana if you look at it from a media market standpoint. Heck maybe we ought to start calling Monroe, Monroe/West Monroe. Then you have on the larger scale Dallas/Fort Wort, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Tampa/St. Petersburg, etc.
So when do we start calling it Baton Rouge/St. George.

So similar to Birmingham?
Birmingham is what everyone calls the metro area, but Mountain Brook, Vestavia, and Hoover all have their own mayors, councils, school systems, and local taxes.

Not really-
Texarkana and Pensacola are almost as far away form Shreveport and Mobile as New Orleans is to Baton Rouge.
MSAs are partly determined by the amount of the population that commutes to the other city on a daily basis, I believe it is 25%. This is part of the reason why there was a push for rail service from BR to Nola, to combine metros and receive more federal funding.
