Baton Rouge, LA
Quality of Life? -
6/3/2007There are many imperfections about life in Baton Rouge, as well as Louisiana in general. But I do enjoy the atmosphere in town-when you are around the long time residents, you get an acceptance that will ignore a lot of woes, including yankeeistic tendencies. I moved away for 17 years, and realized the friendliness of the people was not to be duplicated, even in other areas of the South.
The biggest fault is the lack of infrastructure and a sense of urgency to correct things. Nearly 2 years after Katrina, our traffic is still at a crawl during rush hour, housing is hideous, and crime is not what it used to be.
