Gunshots outside of traction


Is that the same park that hosted One pitch softball on Fridays and USSSA tourneys? I think it was Drillers at the time.

That’s the part St. George conveniently carved out. They cut out the parts of St. George they didn’t want. Kinda racist


Go look at a map of the city limits of Baton Rouge before and after they annexed L'Auberge. St. George gave them an option to be in the new city on the first petition, they chose not to. BR went to the river bank to be able to annex the casino, purposefully excluding them. Ya might want to change the accusation of which city is actually racist.

Kind of. Same general area, but different footprint. Drillers you entered on GSRI/Innovation. Traction actually is actually pretty big (and much much nicer ). It goes from Burbank all the way to GSRI.

drawing cute little circles around areas of BR saying some are safer than others is like drawing circles around Damascus, Syria

Maybe they both are. Can't blame either for not wanting that part of town

If you ever wonder why eyewitness reports are inaccurate, this thread is a perfect example. 4 witnesses...

"approx 12 shots total and not an automatic weapon."

"15 shots not automatic"

"Easily over 30 shots and very clearly an automatic weapon. "

"30-50 shots. Automatic weapon for sure"


This. The bottom two are fricking retards.

It’s amazing how confident dumbasses are when wrong.

We played in one of the late games last night. A little after 8pm there were 2 more gunshots then about 10m or so later 2 or 3 more.

The distinction is, Gardere is not in the city of Baton Rouge

The thing is, even the opposition in sworn testimony of the lawsuit admitted that St. George forming it's own city had nothing to do with race.

I imagine Ryan Theriot saved ton of money deciding to build there.

Yes but that is the most optimal way to push away the hood

It's such a damn shame and a wasted opportunity for the surrounding area. In any decent community, family restaurants and businesses would have grown up around Traction. How awesome would it be to walk your little league team across the street to get pizzas or ice cream after a game?

drillers was down the road past old albemarle and other lsu buildings
they let it get overgrown once they closed it

Theriot didn't build Traction
It started out as Marucci until they sold it to Theriot once they became major players in the bat space

Section 8 housing prefers to culturally enrich the pleasant areas of town and convert them to the ghetto.
