Baton Rouge, LA
You People Are Wild... -
7/17/2009Baton Rouge is actually a cool place to live. When you enter the city, you can almost feel the positive energy that comes from a college town atmosphere.
I lived there for 5 years. Some of my best friends from Baton Rouge became my friends through random conversation at a local eatery or standing in line somewhere.
Baton Rouge is a friendly town with lots to do. Their attractions boast a swamp tour, a water park, the USS Kidd, a doll museum that is super cool, thriving art galleries, and yes...LSU. Who can resist Mike the Tiger? He's gorgeous. But there's also Southern.
You can visit movie theaters, the zoo, a casino, a mall, go skating, play putt putt golf, go bowling, or get a job.
The nightlife is so fun. There are ample spots to listen to great live music. There are clubs and bars to fit every style. Baton Rouge has great margaritas, so I'm sold right away. :-)
One of my personal favorite things to do in Baton Rouge was to sit at the Mississippi River and wonder what great men passed through that very way over the years.
You won't find a more intersting place to study politics than Louisiana. And Baton Rouge is rich with history, culture, spirituality and diversity.
I can't speak to the grade school situation because I don't have kids. But I attended LSU and loved it!!!!
Crime? Hum, there is crime everywhere you go. Can't get away from that one.
I personally love Baton Rouge.
