Shreveport was the same way. It's very boring compared to what it used to be.

Aside from Ringside at Sullivan’s, casino (Lauberge) and Cadillac Cafe, where do people between 35-50 hangout to listen to music and dance?
Most at that age have real adult lives. Ones that include marriages and careers. Those people don't hangout at those places. You'll get there one day, kiddo.

Your old hangouts were closed and replaced by new ones for the next generation and you don't have a reason to go anymore. Such is the cycle of life.
Downtown Baton Rouge was dead for our generation. It's very nice now.
Things change.

She downgraded in that regard. 6 minutes is a marathon not a sprint

I’m an adult with a pretty nice career, but I also have a life, and think he brings up a very good point. Not everyone is married in that category, and yet the options really do suck horribly.

Which are objectively boring.

He really doesn't. He never does. He's a loser. A creepy loser.

Old enough to have witnessed the decay.

Like an old guy told me when I was a young buck about himself and his wife: “It takes me longer to get behind and a lot quicker to catch up.”

My perspective is one that has seen both sides of the coin, and I prefer nightlife over home body. My perspective comes from a time when squares stayed home on Friday and Saturday night. My perspective comes from when socials ran the world and it was fun, not recluses or introverts.

Is it generational or some other variable at play here that’s caused such a dead zone in nightlife?
They raised the drinking age to 21 and started cracking down on open containers.
However, there's still a fair amount of night life. It just moves around depending on the night and the weekend. There's usually big crowds on the weekend in Tigerland (Fred's, Bogies, Mike's, JL's, Reggie's), Perkins Overpass (Duvic's, Ivar's, Overpass Merchant, Zippy's), Perkins Southdowns (Uncle Earl's, The Bulldog), and Downtown (B&T's, Happy's, Huey's, Bengal Tap Room).
It's not like BR is bereft of places to drink.

Trends change Pops.
The nightlife is there, but it’s for a younger generation that’s passed you up.

This is probably a lot of it, that and people have become prudish.

OK junior. Where is it?
Where’s that big nightlife, because I’m looking, and I don’t see anything worth merit.

Smokey dance floors have now been replaced patio decorated with succulents at beergartens and farm to table gastropubs.

I'm an introvert by a mile and went out almost every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 18-27. I eventually just got older, married and had a kid.
When we drink now it consists of drinking at home or maybe going to a restaurant and having a bottle of wine with dinner.

Perkins overpass is great. Everyone has a spot they would fit in there...21- 65 years old, frat boys to hipsters.
