From Wikipedia:
Baton Rouge (/ˌbætən ˈruːʒ/ BAT-ən ROOZH; from French Bâton-Rouge 'red stick') is the capital of the U.S. state of Louisiana. On the eastern bank of the Mississippi River, it is the parish seat of East Baton Rouge Parish, the most-populous parish in Louisiana. Since 2020, it has been the 99th-most-populous city in the United States, and second-largest city in Louisiana after New Orleans. It is the 18th-most-populous state capital. At the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 tabulation, it had a population of 227,470; its consolidated population was 456,781 in 2020. It is the center of the Greater Baton Rouge area, the second-largest metropolitan area in Louisiana, with a population of 870,569 as of 2020, up from 802,484 in 2010.
The Baton Rouge area owes its historical importance to its strategic site upon the Istrouma Bluff, the first natural bluff upriver from the Mississippi River Delta at the Gulf of Mexico. This allowed development of a business quarter safe from seasonal flooding. In addition, it built a levee system stretching from the bluff southward to protect the riverfront and low-lying agricultural areas.[8] It is a culturally rich center, with settlement by immigrants from numerous European nations and African peoples brought to North America as slaves or indentured servants. It was ruled by seven different governments: French, British, and Spanish in the colonial era; the Republic of West Florida, as a United States territory and state, Confederate, and United States again since the end of the American Civil War.
Baton Rouge is a major industrial, petrochemical, medical, research, motion picture,[9] and growing technology center of the American South. It is the location of Louisiana State University, the LSU System's flagship university and the largest institution of higher education in the state. It is also the location of Southern University, the flagship institution of the Southern University System, the only historically black college system in the United States. The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is the 10th-largest in the U.S. in terms of tonnage shipped, and is the farthest upstream Mississippi River port capable of handling Panamax ships. Major corporations participating in the economy of Baton Rouge and its metropolitan statistical area include Lamar Advertising Company, BBQGuys, Marucci Sports, Piccadilly Restaurants, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, ExxonMobil, and Dow Chemical Company.

Got some fun clubs and restaurants love tsunami. Hate trying to find parking and lots of pay to park. The Levee and Convention Center has some fun spots plus the old Governor's Mansion. Ww2 museum. They have a lot up stuff that happens around there from time to time. And the frost top is good. Used to walk around the Convention Center fountains all the time as a teenager al the time
Love Baton Rouge nice city.
It was ok before the meth heads. Now can't go anywhere without tons of Crack heads asking for money. And it's made the crime bad. Lots of theft.
Great video Louisiana Mike I've heard of Baton Rouge before seems pretty neat

Def quiet nothing like New Orleans
The Blvd after the right turn off of North Blvd is T J JEMISON Blvd. It is not East Blvd.
Been to Downtown BR so many times. It's so weird seeing it on RUclips... Please do a Prairieville, LA drive next!
There's nothing to see in prairieville.
Prairieville? Are you serious 😂

I been to Baton Rouge
From dunaújvåros, hungary. ❤
Nice video. Downtown looks pretty lonely. Is this a good city for living having into account gyms, parks, shopping malls, restaurants and night life?
Yeah downtown mostly night life and restaurants. Its mostly business. Lots of government stuff. Shopping and gyms on other side of town. A few decent parks/dog/splash like highland road.
Not much happens downtown except the Live After Five music concert series and holiday fireworks on the river. A lot of your shopping is on the south side of the city and on Florida Blvd.
No this is not a good place to live
Bro I was just there earlier and then this video pops up in my recommended again lol so weird
3:20 turn signal choreography. 161 BPM (Great Balls of Fire, La Grange, Don't Damn Me)
I'm a musician, from Scotland.
Thinking of visiting BR next Mar/Apr '24
The biggest event that occurs in downtown BR is Spanishtown Parade
You completely missed the main part of downtown which is 3rd Street 😂
I feel the allot of ghosts in the city when hes driving to it
I saw a few too
Was that guy at 21:54 taking a piss?
Lol good question.
Ghosts at 2: 51
CIDADE DO YOUNGBOY NEVER BROKE AGAIN.🇧🇷
Baton Rouge sucks. Downtown been the same since the sixties. No building is taller than the capital. No place to really hang out, bad schools, bad crime, bad infrastructure, racism, no expansion, half the city is hood, no real entertainment outside of football, its not a place youd want to live, i dont.😢
is it always this dead in baton rouge? streets look empty, someone can comment and explain? thanks buddies
Yep. During the 80s, many cities in Texas and Louisiana were more focused on suburban style developments and this is the result. Downtown Houston and Dallas are pretty quiet too. But Dallas and BR are at least improving somewhat. There’s been a decent push to reinvigorate and “return downtown” recently.
New Orleans and Austin seemed to have been the only exceptions to the previous focus away from downtowns during the TX/LA/OK oil booms of the 80s and 90s.
