Why make a thread about it then?


Because it is a hilarious list.

What? I live in BR and I know what it is. The list is comical is all I'm saying. It is very obvious they thought it would be clever to do a list of 225 things, but quickly realized there aren't even close to that many interesting things to do here. Hell most of the really interesting things that are listed aren't even in BR. Some are an hour or more away.

I'm hoping the magazine goes away sooner rather than later.

I was born and raised in BR and I love it. It pains me that I just read through all 227 things and maybe 25 of them were cool....

That was a miserable 5 mins of my life I will never get back

Here are some of mine:

Enroll at LSU
LSU football and baseball games
Bang on Mike's glass
Sneak into HPL Field house
Get on the field at TS
Roll down Indian mounds
Fred's, Reggies, Bogies, BBG, Ivar's, Cadillac
Talk about how much better Taste of Tiger Tailgating used to be
Get arrested for being too drunk
Puke in a parking lot
Bang chicks
Draw on a passed out person
St. Patrick's parade
Eat breakfast or lunch at Zeeland St
Go to a concert at the Varsity after renting out the room underneath Chimes
Get stuck in traffic on College Dr
Jump the hump where Bluebonnet crosses Highland


That pretty much sums up BR

I am a resident of BR and that is one sad list. It's just inviting people such as you all to make fun of BR.

However, I will say, it would be hard to list out 225 fun things to do in any city. By that I mean really fun, interesting and different things to do that do not overlap.

they should have just not made the list.

Of course it would be, but honestly can you list 25 really fun and interesting things to do in BR?

I'm not gonna give that site a click, but based on some of the quotes so far I would imagine that over 80% of the things listed could probably be done just about anywhere and not just BR.

Real list (outside of 7 days a year)

1. Go to a movie
2. Go to a bar
3. Go to a restaurant

The end
Which is the same thing people do 99% of the time in every city

I have lived in BR and Nola. And I think Nola is overall a better city. But I would lie if I said 99% of the time it isn't the exact same.

Go to work
Eat at home
Sometimes go to a bar
Sometimes go to a restaurant
go back home


NOLA is better the 1% of the time there is something special like a festival.

They missed people-watching while driving the Loop.

If CJJ were a real coach, there'd have been 15 more good things to do in BR.
