Baton Rouge Sucks. 9:37 am and feels like 98.

Be prepared to get downvoted, most will downvote from jealousy since they are too scared to move from family. Really sucks for them

I love these posts. "I'm going to say something that has been repeated here many many times. And yes, i know what i'm about to say is stupid without going into any detail or providing anything of substance, so i'm putting out this disclaimer here so everyone knows, that what i type is why i'm being downvoted, not how shitty the content of what i'm saying, really is."

If people choose to move out of Baton Rouge and Louisiana, more power to them. I retired from the Air Force in 2013 and decided to move back to be near family after being away from them for almost 30 years. I'm happy here, have a great job and circle of friends. Just because I choose to live here to be near what's left of my family, doesn't make me scared or jealous of those who move.

Family and friends are the most important thing about where you live.

Good guess or app.

The current heat index for Baton Rouge on the NOAA site is 97 degrees.

86 temp.
77 dewpoint.

What part of Baton Rouge did you live in, and for how long?

What if you don't have family that's keeping you in BR?

I get it. BR isn't incredible. And I'm not going to make any claim that Nashville is lacking in any way when compared to Baton Rouge. But people that have to come on here an proudly pound their chests that they left Baton Rouge are just as much of the problem as those who have their head in the sand about the issues this city faces.

It's just a strange take from my perspective as a BR resident that wasn't born and raised in Louisiana.

I’m actually pretty thankful that my relationship with family (in-laws and parents in particular) is such that we choose to live near them even though the weather is sometimes hot (and all of the other negatives of living here).

I do totally get why people leave, though. Just the luck of the draw that we were born here instead of San Diego or Nashville or New Hampshire or whatever place would be nicer.
