HI there, Baton Rouge looks like a REAL interesting place to live and work and I am curious to know a little about the city. I've heard GREAT things about B.R. I've also heard some bad. Not too much though. I have the following questions: 1. What is B.R. like in general? Is it laid back? Friendly? Green? Clean? 2. What are the schools like? 2A. Do jobs pay well? Is the economy fairly strong? 3. Is public Transportation good? 4. What is crime like? 5. What are the neighborhoods like? 6. Is there a lot to do? Festivals, events, etc.... 7. What is the weather like? Please give me a detail if you can about the seasons in B.R. Thanks again and I appreciate your response. Daniel

I drove there a few years ago in early September and it was so very hot and humid. They had the worst Motel 6 I ever stayed in during my cross-country adventure.

BR is over populated at the moment because of Katrina. Crime is not too bad. Weather is hot with humidity during the summer. Winter...??? there isnt much of one. BR does have the mall of louisiana, which is nice. Festivals...like in all of LA...Mardi Gras. If you did move there...try to visit New Orleans...it's a little over an hour away from BR. BR maybe the capital, but New Orleans is the heart of LA.

Daniel, I've only passed through Baton rouge and I liked what I saw. From wherever you come you will eventually acclimatise to the humidity of the south. If you are planning to move there then may I suggest you do plenty of online research. I have found some links for you which will help start you off. City-Data .com is full of great statistics and useful information, including population, crime, median income, employment stats, climate etc. (And some neat photos) http://www.city-data.com/city/Baton-Rouge-Louisiana.html This next link is for the city's own webpage, it too has useful information for both the visitor and inhabitant: http://www.baton-rouge.com/BatonRouge/ The next link is to Baton Rouge MardiGras: (24th February, 2009) http://www.almostlivecam.com/ Even the Wikipedia article on the city is worthwhile reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_Rouge%2C_Louisiana Baton Rouge's points of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points_of_Interest_of_Baton_Rouge
