I was raised in Baton Rouge. I moved out right before Katrina. I don't miss the traffic, the crime, the corruption, the taxes, the potholes, the litter, etc, etc...
I moved to baton rouge from London I unfortunately was there when the hurricane hit in summer 2016 if it rained for just 1 more day our home would of been flooded🤦🏾♀️ Im back in London now but do miss the friendly, genuine, good people, food & Daiquiris💜💚💛
Thanks for sharing your experience @VirgoPriestess. That 2016 flood was a pretty scary thing over here. I was lucky enough not to flood, but I had lots of friends and family that lost everything. I'll think of you next time I have a daiquiri :)
If the friendliness was paired with nice architecture, infrastructure, concerts, bars, clubs and better weather, also less crime, violence, and cancerous pollution, Baton Rouge would be great.
I've actually got a video on the list to make that will focus more on all college sports in South LA and will definitely include Southern. This one didn't go into much detail and LSU is the big nationally known team in LA for sports. My daughter actually talks about wanting to be in the Southern band.
This is the first one of your videos I've seen. Very well done my friend. You covered a lot of stuff, made it entertaining, and, far as I can tell after living here 34 years and being in the home repair business, thus driving around Baton Rouge a lot, you were totally honest, be it good or bad. You told it like it is. That's exactly the way it should be. Good, bad or ugly, tell it like it is. One thing I'd like to say about the love bugs. They're only around about a month a year. Thank God!! They area pain in the butt for sure.
Hey Don, I really appreciate the feedback! If we could get rid of the mosquitos, I'd learn to love those love buys... but yeah they're definitely a pain. Thanks for watching, and if there's ever anything I can do to help you just let me know.
And if there's anything I can do for you please let me know! We work with a lot of realtors (contact Brandon Baird) repairing things that come back on the inspection reports, and have never missed a closing date, and it's been 10 years. Yes... I am ever the salesman, but that's not why I commented on your video, I did that because it's good!!
I was waiting for the mention of traffic lol! It was one of the driving forces for me to move to Prairieville from Port Allen. Now what's awesome is that I work in Amite so the majority of my drive is backroads with a brief travel to get on 55. I avoid the interstate at all costs! 🤣
I'm glad I could help. As much as I love making these videos, I really love helping you guys make the move to Louisiana so hit me up and I'd be happy to help you get here. All of my info is in the video description.
A doctoral degree, or Ph.D., is generally considered higher than a master's degree. A master's degree is the first level of graduate study, while a Ph.D. is the third and final cycle of higher education. A Ph.D. is also considered a terminal degree, or the highest degree that can be earned.
I grew up in BR and you left out one big thing..... Its a shit hole.... Crime ridden for the most part. I left years ago and hate when I have to go back. Glad my family moved south so I can avoid the place.
Thanks for the comment... I do appreciate hearing all point of views. We love it here though. I guess a place being a shit hole is subjective. I'd imagine you'd be hard pressed to find any decent sized city that didn't have crime. I was actually in Denver earlier this week for a couple days and I got woke up one night at 1 AM by police cars chasing someone through the middle of downtown, but overall it still looked like an awesome place to live. I could be wrong though... where did you end up moving to after leaving BR?
Not all of BR is crime ridden. Just certain zip codes. Sad because my friends parents live right across from Belair high, and back in the 70s and 80s it was a very nice are. Now it's crime ridden. Can't even cook out without hearing gun shots.
@@hollynguyen7652 Most of the crime and bad looking parts of Baton Rouge look to be north of Mid City and around that area. That's where 90% of the crime takes place. So I'd just move to the southern outskirts of Baton Rouge, like along BlueBonnet, Highland, and Siegan Lane. Still plenty over there and it's less crime ridden.
Bro thank you! I’m currently driving trucks locally and a Louisiana local. I was looking for a good dining spot to take my woman and you tsunamis looks like the perfect option right off bat
It's awesome... especially if you get up there around sunset. It's hard to beat that view. Since you're local, hit me up on Facebook facebook.com/smr91481
Hey @Dear_Diary225 for reaching out. I wish I could tell you a place exists with no crime, but to my knowledge there isn't a place. But there are plenty of great neighborhoods in and around Baton Rouge. If you want to shoot me an email at info@louisianahomeliving.com I'd be happy to send you some online info so you can do your own research to see what neighborhoods would be a good fit.
Baton Rouge sucks. Downtown been the same since the sixties,no building is taller than the capital, no real entertainment places to hang out, bad infrastructure, bad schools, bad crime, half the city is hood. Racism exist, crazy people without sense. If I could move I would. I would t stay nowhere in Louisiana if I had a choice. I swear.

Gonna be going to Baton Rouge in my travels. Trying to determine if it's a place I'd want to move to. In Lake Charles right now.
It's amazing that you mention Baton Rouge as a college sports town yet you did not mention Southern University.
