Baton Rouge and New Orleans make NatGeo's Top 30 Cities in the U.S.

National Geographic's "The Best Cities in the U.S."
Pittsburgh, PA
Boulder, Colo.
Greenville, S.C.
Anchorage, Alaska
Annapolis, Md.
Hagerstown, Md.
Pensacola, Fla.
Omaha, Neb.
Columbia, S.C.
Hickory, N.C.
New Orleans, La.
Celebrating the 300th anniversary of its founding by the French in 1718, New Orleans still brims with authentic charm but is especially of-the-moment in the Warehouse District around Lafayette Square. Onetime grain and coffee storehouses have been converted into trendy bars, music clubs, and restaurants. At Sac-a-Lait, hyper-local bistro fare like alligator in pickled mustard sauce is served in a restored cotton mill. Hipster grand central: the new Ace Hotel in a renovated art deco mid-rise, where the action centers on a busy lobby with a curated musical stage that hosts local acts.
Madison, Wisc.
Reno, Nev.
Healdsburg, Calif.
Santa Cruz, Calif.
Charleston, S.C.
Olympia, Wash.
Spokane, Wash.
Albuquerque, N.M.
Rapid City, S.D.
Ann Arbor, Mich.
Asheville, N.C.
Baton Rouge, La.
Black-and-red linoleum floors and vintage swivel chairs summon up the 1920s founding of the historically African-American Webb’s Barber Shop in Louisiana’s capital city. It’s one of an unusually high number of hair salons and grooming spots that let the good-looking times roll in this relaxed town sprawled along the Mississippi River. Louisiana State University students—a well-dressed lot known for donning frocks and cowboy boots or ironed polos for football games—often get shaves and haircuts at Mercer Supply Co.

Pensacola? List is 100% bullshite
Posted on 1/20/18 at 10:36 am to toosleaux
Definitely no money changed hands for this. Nope.

NatGeo clearly is paid to put cities on these lists.
Posted on 1/20/18 at 10:37 am to toosleaux
That's probably the weirdest explanation of why BR is cool that I've seen
Posted on 1/20/18 at 10:37 am to toosleaux
This has to be a 'Some of these are real top cities, some are not. Pick out the ones that aren't'
I'm surprised Queens isn't listed with a mention of My T Sharp

I'm not saying BR is or isn't great, but if the highlight is a ghetto barbershop in a dangerous shithole neighborhood that should be razed, you may need to recalibrate your metrics.

If they are talking about places to get a haircut New Iberia shoulda made the list..

Barber shops usually top the chart for why New Iberia ids a top city, not BR.

It gets a lot more weird than that.

"Spend a few days touring some of the hair salons in this city that ranks very high in our "most barber shops per capita" category!"

Hair salons and ironed polos

Seriously, WTF?
That is the dumbest reasoning possible.
The writer is basically just saying that BR has hair salons and barbershops and that makes it the best.
Hell, it would make more sense to say the murder rate is what makes BR interesting.
There is no way this writer wasn’t paid to print this.

That’s some embarrassingly silly shite.

Would’ve been better if they talked about Gay Nate
