The Tiger Town name worked better when there was still a grocery store, a theater, music shops, lots of food options, and those sorts of things. The abandoned businesses, half a dozen smoke shops, and constant garbage on the streets just doesn't have the same vibe.

Didn’t get cut down til the early 2000’s. I want to say 2005/06 was the last year it was “hosted” as an unsanctioned thing

The courtyard at those Varsity Village apartments had some crazy shite too. It looks a lot nicer now - it was NASTY back in the day.

Old South Baton Rouge.
South Baton Rouge is I-10 as the northern boundary. Then Essen/Starring/Gardere as the western boundary.
