Yeah. Just a rumor.

quote:

Rumors speculated that Huey P. Long personally picked the location of the bridge and the planned height as a way to stymie ocean going vessels from traveling further north then Baton Rouge, thus adding to the city's appeal as a port town. This rumor probably has no basis in fact.

Additionally it was stated that the lower vertical clearance resulted in a savings of $2.5 to 3 million due to the need for shorter approaches.

Cleo Field's law firm was the original Baton Rouge General on Government Street.

Baton Rouge had 4 drive in theaters at one time: Rebel, Tiger, Airline, and Florida.

Buckskin Bill hosted many swinger parties back in the 70's.
