re: What keeps you in Baton Rouge?

Baton Rouge:
School (for at least another year) and my wife's job.

South Louisiana:
My awesome group of close friends
Food
Culture
My PITA family
My wife's awesome family
My band

If we leave South Louisiana, the only reason will be because of work.

I actually kinda like BR. I would love to live in Spanish Town or Bouregard Town, but Mid City, where I live now is pretty nice. Outside of a couple weekends in the summer and around Christmas, there's good bands playing and festivals near every weekend. LSU sports are fun. Mid City is convenient to everything. We can walk to our church which puts on a ton of events. We are friends with our neighbors. Our families are close by. Several awesome restaurants in walking distance. We have several bars and restaurants where we know everyone. It's a pretty good life.

If we were to leave BR for any reason other than work, it would only be for Lafayette (her family), AP (my family) or Covington (she couldn't take living in NOLA)
