re: Baton Rouge should open a high-end Aquarium downtown

You could build that. Then you'd have to build a new one in 20 years for the white people to go to

And there it is.

If you are so concerned about "undesirables" and black people in general, I'm curious what you actually do to help fix these problems?

I couldn't care less as I don't live in BR anymore

good, very good.

And of course move the zoo as well from its dreadful location in North Baton Rouge.

Yeah, move it to that swamp off Burbank. I'm sure that will work out well when it goes underwater during the first hurricane. It'll be like Jurassic Park.

And which lucky SBR residents will be downwind of this great attraction?

Again, what do you propose is a good method for raising up people in lower socioeconomic groups?

---

Promotion of two parent households, decrease the number of high school drop outs, decrease their reliance on government benefits, etc...

A fricking aquarium isn't going to turn hoodlums into Harvard grads.

Moving away from and isolating them really seems to be solving the problem.

"The problem" isn't one I can solve. They'll need to do that from within.

Took my son to the BR zoo this morning, 1st time i've been there in 15+'years. That is a depressing site. Animals look sedated and damn near dying. Some of the habitats have signs/plaques saying they were renovated in 2014, look like they have been neglected since 2014. It's typical BREC, what can you expect.

You needn't look any further than the malls built in BR for proof.

BINGO!! Just look at the thuggish trash that has now infiltrated the mall itself. I was told by a developer that that's why they've put stores on the outside of the mall, and if they would've know that the "trash" wouldve migrated there, they would've developed to whole site (outdoor stores) like that instead of the mall itself. Point being is that the "trash" doesn't usually congregate in/around outdoor stores like they do in the mall. Said they've done actual studies on it and the point continues to be made (about the "trash").

Except aquaiums are immoral and zoos aren't too much better in many circumstances.

Not that I dont think the zoo could be so much better but the animals arent going to be very active in 90 degree heat in the direct sun.

The place needs to be shut down and moved to a new area and start over.

gerogia aquarium is way better . belugas , dolphins, sharks.


also BR should open another amusemnt park and Track like gulf shores. M

Oh is that what is happening? Isolation? Bc I swear, to my silly naive eyes it looks like the trash constantly takes advantage of federal law to move on over to the better neighborhoods where they quickly transform them into the hoods they just left.
