Thoughts from someone who left (escaped) Baton Rouge
Posted on 6/25/19 at 9:39 am

Moved up to the Nashville area about a month ago after 8 years in Baton Rouge. If you're considering leaving BR and you're able to do it, I highly recommend it.
Everything up here is basically just a nicer version of the Baton Rouge one (movie theater, grocery store, etc.). I no longer start sweating my arse off immediately after walking out the house. Minimal traffic (sans Nashville proper), people are friendlier, saving a ton of money on car insurance, womenz are better looking. I do miss my seafood but the pros far outweigh the cons.

Baton Rouge Sucks. 9:37 am and feels like 98.
Be prepared to get downvoted, most will downvote from jealousy since they are too scared to move from family. Really sucks for them

I think Tennessee is the perfect climate. Snows only a few times a year, not hot as balls during the summer and there’s actually a fall season there.

I'm as big of a BR homer as exists on this site, but I definitely wouldn't disparage anyone who moved from here to Nashville. Nashville is a great town if you can afford it, and there's a lot of good BR peeps making it up there. Nashville is definitely on my list of cities I wouldn't mind relocating to if I had a job offer there. Good for you

I don't think you will get many arguments about Nashville being better than BR

Replace "Baton Rouge" with "Louisiana" and the thread still works.

If that were true, you wouldn't be trying to justify your decision on a louisiana based message board.

Can't wait to leave this shite hole.

Hey man I just said for those who are considering it. My whole family still lives down there and loves it. To each their own. I'm almost 30 and single with no kids - I figured now was the time to make the move.

I love these posts. "I'm going to say something that has been repeated here many many times. And yes, i know what i'm about to say is stupid without going into any detail or providing anything of substance, so i'm putting out this disclaimer here so everyone knows, that what i type is why i'm being downvoted, not how shitty the content of what i'm saying, really is."

I left Louisiana in 62. Settled in East Tennessee in 69. Moved back to Louisiana in 95. Spent one year. Couldn't believe the regression. Moved back to Tennessee.

And yes, most of the civilized world is preferable to anywhere in Louisiana. This is hardly controversial.

If people choose to move out of Baton Rouge and Louisiana, more power to them. I retired from the Air Force in 2013 and decided to move back to be near family after being away from them for almost 30 years. I'm happy here, have a great job and circle of friends. Just because I choose to live here to be near what's left of my family, doesn't make me scared or jealous of those who move.

Moved to Dallas and then Austin. Best decision I have ever made.
