If Oxford, Mississippi is the “Velvet Ditch”, then what is Baton Rouge?

Velvet Ditch is Oxford since it’s easy to fall into but hard to leave. What’s Baton Rouge then? The Bayou Back Alley? The Capital City Crossfire? The Swamp Trap? The Red Stick with Red Flags?

This place is the greatest place in the world for some of the dumbest shite ever.

Baton Rouge gets a lot of shite but I’ve been all over and no town has more soul than Baton Rouge

If it's so great why do the people that went to school there, not stay there. Like rich NOLA & BR & ATL, Dallas & Nashville kids. They all go back home or elsewhere. No one stays in that one horse town.

BR is perfect. Smooth roads, no crime, pleasant weather, great public schools. Couldn’t think of a better place to be.

A metro area of nearly 900,000 covering four parishes and 13 suburbs bathed in crime, heavy traffic, horrendous summer heat, flooding, graffiti, LITTER, a public school system so bad it defies common sense, a Brain Drain, underfunded universities, under-staffed police, an acute teaching shortage, minimal jobs and low wages, a Walmart and Dollar General Store on every block, homeless on every street corner, and, did I mention the LITTER? And of course, we can't forget the LITTER!

“Red Stick Tar Pit” because it looks harmless, maybe even shiny and fun but step in and you’re fossilized there for life.

Screw picturesque mountains and rolling hills. A skyline flanked by refineries in the horizon can’t be beat.
