I like the fact my city is out of the news.

Given the publicity in the 60s, no news is good news.

No that's just the city's population. The metro is over 2.1 million so both are 3.5 to 4 times Baton Rouge, depending on the parameters.

FWIW - Baton Rouge is 70th largest metro in the US. People on here acting like it’s much larger. Just because the traffic is probably much worse than most cities that size doesn’t mean it’s like a top 30 metro.

San Antonio is the 7th largest city and 24th largest metro in the nation. People in this thread suggest that’s ‘not very big?’ It’s in one of the fastest growing areas of the country. 



As predicted, this san antonio mother fricker showed up.

Thanks

So i will then agree, if columbus is over 2 million, they are under the radar.

Except for me, but i watch soccer.

Spokane, WA- 600k metro


You don’t hear about a lot of these cities because you likely don’t live near them. Spokane is 5 hours from me, so I hear of it often and actually travel there every so often.
