Born and raised in BR, left in 05. The city has always been garbage and has gotten worse. Too many people voting democrat.

And you live in Austin, TX which is basically the San Francisco of the South? I somewhat agree with you but Austin is more Democrat leaning than BR.

I think the bad and good of it is summed up by the proliferation of Asian Spas in Baton Rouge.

Watch the beginning of Scarface where all the dregs came over from
Cuba and led to the Cuban crime wave. Same type deal.

It all started with the public schools....crappy public schools usually mean crappy city. Why pay high taxes, high home cost, and high private school tuition when you can pack it up and move where better schools are, home cost are a little better, and most of all - there's a lower population of folks that drive most of the crime.

I was there late 80s and early 90s and that Baton Rouge was gone by mid-September 2005.
I kinda agree. The Baton Rouge I grew up in was not a bad place. I moved here as a kid in '78. You could go almost anywhere in town and feel safe. Hell, for a few years my family lived within walking distance of Tony's Seafood on Plank Road. Now, I wouldn't feel safe going up there in the daytime.
This town started going to hell after the school desegregation order in the 80's, and Katrina pushed it over the edge.

I found it to be great throughout the 90's. Maybe trending downward around 2002 or so....

My family used to frequent stores and restaurants on Plank in the mid 80s. I had friends that I grew up with that lived in Glen Oaks

Tara is actually one of the older neighborhoods that is doing well

Can't blame that shite on Katrina, Baton Rouge was ghetto long before 2005

Everything started going to shite when they shut down Essen movie theater!!! That place was the glue that held that community together.
