There wasn't a damn thing on Bluebonnet or Old Jefferson 20-30 years ago.


The Mall of Louisiana opened in 97. Hell, the first stadium seating movie theater in Baton Rouge was opened not long after that on Siegen, and there was already a full shopping area over there.

I mean, yeah, everything on Burbank save the soccer fields were built in the last 10 years, but it's not like Bluebonnet was just an empty 4 lane road all the way to Burbank until Perkins Rowe was built.

I didn't Google the dates but I'm 41 and when I was a kid those areas were undeveloped. The whole St George thing exists because these areas were too rural or suburban to matter to the city. Old Hammond at Millerville is south of the city limits but you say that Coursey or South Sherwood isn't in SBR?

The dividing line of NBR and SBR is Florida Blvd. That's why a lot of the streets (Foster, Acadian, Sherwood, Flannery) change names when crossing over it. It doesn't mean that SBR doesn't have some shitholes in it. That was pretty much my original point.
