Decided to get the hell out of Baton Rouge and move to The Woodlands (specifically) next week.

With one week left, what are some of the iconic BR things I need to do before leaving? Those who have left BR for Texas, how much did you miss that BR culture?


ETA:

A list of things I will miss in BR:

My apartment complex - loved how well they managed their complex and only allowed the best of people in. My puppy will greatly miss randomly finding chicken wing bones that were just thrown in the grass.

State Income Tax - always felt like my money going to the state was appropriately spent

I will miss not having the chance to have to spend money sending my children to private school because you can't send your child to public school in BR.

I'll miss translating Ebonics in my head. It's far easier than translating Spanish

Is Olivia going to be behind the bar? I'm sure she will need to pick up some extra shifts after posting bail.

I miss how racist people are in the south but not thinking they're racist.

I miss it not being acceptable to throw trash out your window while driving down the highways

I miss bad service pretty much everywhere you went but it was ok because the people are nice.

Frankly, I've never really missed anything about Baton Rouge.

Also, if you're moving to the Woodlands, you are not moving to Houston. You do realize they're about an hour apart, correct?

Should I add the Texas Club to that list? Have never been. Or is that more of an LP thing for their night in the big city?
