Baton Rouge was ok in the 1980s, but even then the really good food was more expensive and harder to find. Things gradually got worse (traffic, prices, crime, service) until 2005, when the Katrina refugees pushed the city off of the cliff.
Don't get me wrong, I'll take BR over any similarly sized city in the US, but it seems like Katrina brought many of the bad features of NO without the advantages, like the great food or the great service in the service industries.

Now, MG, it's not polite or, politically correct to call them refugees. Jackson and, Sharpton made sure we all knew that!
Welcome to this side of the state, Smalls! I'm boiling shrimp in Gonzales tonight. If you and the family feel like making the short ride down, my family would be glad to have you over! It's only a 20 minute ride from BR.
