These threads are tired. All you bitches that hate this city, bye. It isn’t as bad as some of you wish cast it to be.

They have groups that pick up trash occasionally. I have always said that there should be more community clean up work for non-violent offenders. Mostly young dudes that smoke weed or get into drugs.

This was it. He destroyed neighborhood schools and everyone who couldn't afford private school moved. Left a huge gap in the middle class, property values dropped, and lower income filled the hole.

I don't remember Baton Rouge being nice in the 90's. I remember a dangerous city full of abandoned buildings everywhere. If Baton Rouge was ever nice, it must have been before I was born. I just assumed Judge Parker's deseg order, the raising of the drinking age to 21, and the 80's oil crunch combined to kill it.
Baton Rouge was much nicer in the 90s! Are you freaking kidding me. Airline and Florida for one didn't look nearly as bad as it does today. Airline and Florida are two of the most important streets in the city had they are hot garbage today ... most of the businesses closed on it today. BR is obviously going backwards not forward

It’s only going to get worse. St George Inc tax removal dried up the City’s budget. Think it’s bad now…Wait til they dissolve EMS, fold it over into FD. You can’t fly faster into the ground than BR is right now. Simply facts. You Parish residents may start looking at Acadian memberships…

Of course you like it ... look at your picture. You want BR to be majority Black which it is now. The ghetto foolishness is driving away the good diversity it had and good diversity in businesses

BR peaked in the 80s, but way more of it was nice in the 90s than now. O'Neal, Sherwood, Siegen, Old Hammond, Flannery, Wooddale, even Tigerland were all liveable areas in the 90s.

It’s time for people to stop blaming Baton Rouge’s problems on hurricane Katrina. BR has less population now then immediately pre-Katrina.
Prior to Katrina BR was 45% white. Today it is 35%

I attended Tara high curious as to what it's like now?
Tara the school is awful. Tara the neighborhood is still quite nice.

Yep. But Houstonians are so delusional.

I remember a bunch of large abandoned buildings downtown and by the Swaggert college on Bluebonnet, plus the big abandoned bar marche mall and the big abandoned maison blanche in downtown east.

Blacks have taken over mostly. Came out of N O. That culture will ruin anything

Well, yeah, Cortana killed that mall and department store. They were all just too close. Hookers killed the Swaggart expansion.
But the 90s were my high school and college days. Cortana was thriving. You had Circuit City, music stores, restaurants, putt putt all around that area.
Sherwood was still really nice south of Florida with Sports Authority, restaurants etc.

The demographics require BR to only get worse. If the demographics were magically changed, then the city would instantly be pretty nice. Although the traffic would still be a problem.

The interstates look like a garbage truck spill.

Not true, most of Baton Rouge is highly affordable that's why it's so bad. The parts that are least affordable are still relatively decent and safe (minus the public schools). Moral of the story is to raise prices

I see West Virginia is checking in on BR to compare. I've seen a few places over there. LOL
