There is a ton or racial tension in BR. The zoo isn't moving.
It's fricking pathetic that these even have anything to do with each other.
The zoo should be able to move if they think it will be mutually beneficial to themselves and their patrons without worrying about being declared racist.

They should, but they won't, and the main reason is b/c it would be racist to take it out of NBR, and put it next to the white college, or next to the white flight of Prairieville and the Santa Maria/LA Country Club whites.
Did you not hear our idiot mayor say she thinks the tram they are proposing between downtown and LSU, should also go all the way to Southern?
The Zoo should be by LSU, close to the river. The Casino could have a boat bring people there. It would be an attraction for football games, as well as baseball games, and you can get some free and/or cheap labor from LSU vet students.
What does it matter if it's far from the interstate? Audubon zoo isnt' near the interstate and that mfer is packed every weekend. That's another problem. People from Baton Rouge would rather drive an hour and a half to the Audubon zoo as opposed to 20 minutes to the baton rouge zoo, and they pay more than double to get in as well. If you're not going to make a zoo that will make your local residents stop going to New Orleans as often, then what's the point of having one at all?

I agree, but define mutually beneficial because if BREC has 110 million dollars to spend I think We need to sink it into more important projects than a zoo.
And that's one of the issues I have with our form of govt.; we have CATS, BREC, COA, Library Board, and others on their own and there is no way to prioritize their activities so that tax dollars impact out biggest problems.
For instance, no one can take BREC money to build a mental hospital even though that's needed more than a zoo.
