What a beautiful little town. Everybody was nice, the place was clean and I didn't smell weed at every red light. I despise Baton Rouge even more today. You baws keep that place beautiful out there.

You'll get a bunch of northshore haters replying, but you're correct.

It would be a great place if there were about 50k fewer people.

Only a numbskull would wish they were getting robbed in Nola instead of being away from it.

What's wrong with this? I'd much rather smell this than cigarettes

I enjoy visiting Covington and my daughter lives there. It’s nice to go somewhere and not be overran with trash. Of course, I usually go on Sundays so don’t have to fight traffic nightmares as she does. She hates where she lives bc of traffic. Things are clean, too.

They need to make 190 and 21 into a traffic circle. This intersection screws up everything.

I heard a loop was budgeted as part of the Baton Rouge loop project proposal.

Hammond


I’ve often wondered how come Hammond hasn’t grown more in the past couple of decades.

I like the charm of the downtown and it has a nice sized university.

Perfectly located in the state and has two interstates that run through it.
