Looks like Baton Rouge is trying to corner the hair salon tourism market. Bold strategy.

I would have loved to be in on that editor's meeting. 
NatGeo Editor: OK...the city of Baton Rouge has paid us big money to be on our upcoming Top 30 Cities list. Let's really talk them up!
Researcher: Well, these smaller cities usually are close knit communities with low crime rates. According to our stats, in 2017 Baton Rouge had only...HOLY shite! THIS PLACE IS A WAR ZONE!
Editor: All right, no biggie. Let's pivot to LSU. Let's explore how their grads are putting down roots in the community, maybe starting tech businesses. We may be looking at the next Silicon Valley!
Researcher: Ummm, according to the latest data, 100% of LSU grads leave the state within 6 hours of receiving their diplomas.
The top 3 jobs in the city are plant operator, Starbucks barista and kindergarten teacher. Oops, my mistake. Kindergarten teacher is #4. "Unemployed" is #3.
Editor: shite! OK, let's explore the foodie scene. Baton Rouge is close to New Orleans so let's write about how you can get Commander's Palace cuisine without paying Commander's Palace prices.
Where are the top local restaurants?
Researcher: Uh, according to the data, the top 5 restaurants are Chili's, Raisin' Cane's, IHOP, Applebee's and someplace named Walk-Ons.
Editor: Goddammit! We've got nothing. I'll have to mail this check back to them.
Researcher: It's the weirdest town. Look at this Google Maps page. This huge multi square mile gap with no supermarkets or other essential services but I count at least a dozen barber shops or hair salons.
Editor: That's it! Baton Rouge has the premier barber shop selection in the entire Deep South! Print that shite!

Unless you are a honky. Then you might get assaulted or worse for being in the wrong part of town.

Mayor Broome has this distinguished honorable accolade on her 2018 list of accomplishments. And will appoint a blue ribbon committee to meet to form a task force that will make recommendations on how to keep Baton Rouge well groomed.

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.
Yeah agreed, wtf. I lived in BR for one year and as an outsider (from NC), I was surprised how much fun I had. There actually is a lot of cool shite that y'all probably don't even notice, but to an out of stater I appreciated how culturally different LA is. The casinos, quick drive to NOLA and lax stance on alcohol didn't hurt either
