When was the Bottoms ever up and coming? My mom lived in mall city in the 60s and she said it was fine but I'm pretty sure the Bottoms has been a shithole for a long time.

Gardere wasn't that bad in the early /mid 90s.

Graduated McKinley in the early 90s. Locals there call it The Bottom, not Bottoms. While it is a pretty run down looking place, there are FAR worse places in BR than there. Pretty much anything in 70805 zip, the avenues in scotlandville, Mall City, Belaire, Sherwood commons, and Gardere are much worse. Gentrification is steadily taking care of the Bottom.

Need quotation marks on the "up and coming."

Despite any hopeful buzz, St Roch has not ticked in a positive direction in the last 20 years. A few white gutter punks moved in after Katrina. If anything, that made it worse.

Shreveport has a Bottoms neighborhood. It is largely abandoned now, but was plagued by crime and blight for over 100 years.

That’s the only hope for Baton Rouge’s Bottoms. All the crappy houses and buildings will eventually deteriorate to the point the neighborhood is uninhabitable, and people will abandon the area, then it will become prime real estate.

I think they razed the Bottoms in Shreveport, the area was much improved last time I went through. Empty lots better than hoods.

Brandywine condominiums. Had a friend who lived there in the late 80s. It was a very nice place.
