I have a public school, walking distance from my home. But we’re about to spend right around $6k for my kid to start private school next year....

Thanks Parker...

I remember the 6k days. It gets more expensive. We live walking distance from Episcopal but I'm not paying 16-18k or whatever it is now.

We moved to BR in 1996. It was so green, clean and pretty. I loved it. By the time we moved again in 2014 it was not at all the same. Not sure what the problem was.

I paid $5K 30 + years ago for preschool and never less throughout my son’s school years.

Baton Rouge is a dump bc people would rather sit in traffic than have black neighbors? How does that even make sense?

Apalled is a word you use when someone does something bad to you or your family. It’s something that was done to you personally,

Hey Virginia alumnus should know better

We are leaving. I am waiting for one child to finish college and I have a few more months at my job. Then getting house ready to sell.

If you want to see run down neighborhoods revitalized, bring in some gay people, but BR isn’t exactly the most progressive-minded city.

Now that John Wayne Gacy is dead, Owlie is probably the best experienced person to lead this effort.

Most towns of it's size are run down. Main Street died long ago, people fled to big cities.
