Sadly, this can be said about any portion of Florida in baton rouge, and a third of baton rouge is north of Florida.
Hell it's almost exactly half of BR. And doesn't it seem like what we consider to be SBR keeps shrinking? College Drive, Flannery, Sherwood, Coursey behind Foxy's. The hood is definitely spilling into SBR quickly.

None of these areas could ever be described as south Baton Rouge.

They once were. Florida splits BR damn near exactly in half. South Sherwood, Coursey was definitely considered SBR. There wasn't a damn thing on Bluebonnet or Old Jefferson 20-30 years ago. This was basically the southeastern reaches of the city

Me and 16 of my millionaire buddies go to BR and do BR stuff every year, mostly going to strip malls, but we aren't going this year.
Baton Rouge is a festering, oozing violent sore on an AIDS lesion.
Move LSU to New Orleans.

Move it to the 32nd most dangerous city in the world? More dangerous than Kingston, Jamaica and Tijuana

My grandparents built their house on Sherwood just south of Florida over 60 years ago. It was definitely the sticks back then.

Hope he learned his lesson and will get a carry permit and a gun.

The Mall of Louisiana opened in 97.
Hell, the first stadium seating movie theater in Baton Rouge was opened not long after that on Siegen, and there was already a full shopping area over there. I mean, yeah, everything on Burbank save the soccer fields were built in the last 10 years, but it's not like Bluebonnet was just an empty 4 lane road all the way to Burbank until Perkins Rowe was built.

I didn't Google the dates but I'm 41 and when I was a kid those areas were undeveloped. The whole St George thing exists because these areas were too rural or suburban to matter to the city. Old Hammond at Millerville is south of the city limits but you say that Coursey or South Sherwood isn't in SBR?
The dividing line of NBR and SBR is Florida Blvd. That's why a lot of the streets (Foster, Acadian, Sherwood, Flannery) change names when crossing over it. It doesn't mean that SBR doesn't have some shitholes in it. That was pretty much my original point.

I always used I-10 as the separator between North and South BR.

How? It basically follows the Mississippi to Nola.

Just a minor technicality. North Blvd. and a line that continues eastward once North ends is the North/South line for address purposes. The "center point" of EBR is North blvd at the River. So address numbers get larger as they move eastward from this point and north or south from this point as well.

I never really spent much time in the Old Jefferson area, but when I was a kid in the very early 90's, we got a house in the Jefferson Highway/Bluebonnet area, and within a few months of moving there Jefferson Highway was widened to 5 lanes. Before I was driving age, they rerouted Bluebonnet out of the neighborhood and drilled through to connect it with Coursey.
The Bluebonnet corridor was very well developed in the 90's.
And as for this, the St. George movement exists because property owners are tired of propping up one of the worst public school districts in the country. The city didn't care about these areas until these areas threatened to break away, hence why Baton Rouge incorporated more areas in the past 2 years than they have in the past 2 decades.
