re: Baton Rouge traffic…

Posted by langlois_crib on 5/14/25 at 4:13 pm
I was born and raised in BR and decided to move away from the mess that it’s become. My family is originally from New Roads/Lakeland. Built on family land and wouldn’t trade it for the world. Doctors appointment in BR requires traveling across one of three bridges. I looked at the traffic maps before leaving. An 18 wheeler with an oversized load broke down on top of the old bridge about 20 or so cars in front of me. Missed my appt. but rescheduled while on the bridge. Thank goodness for cell phones.

Baton Rouge traffic…

Driving to Baton Rouge from the west side, for an appointment this morning and checked traffic so I would know which bridge to take…. The map showed the new bridge as RED, so I took the old bridge which was GREEN, but alas, here I sit (in park) on the top of the old bridge.

I was in Opelika, Alabama not long ago, and it’s a very beautiful place.

It is for a camp (mobile home) on a river, to mostly be used for recreation! Don’t think it’s going to be worth it for us!

Thank you! Too much of a gamble for our hard earned money!

The ad did not specify how long the land lease is guaranteed at the price listed. It was listed as a per year anmout. Also, it did not say to whom the land lease monies would be paid to. Definitely questions I would need to ask,

Does anyone have advice and suggestions about buying a camp on leased land. How does that work. Insurance, taxes, financing????
