re: Outside of Starkville, is Baton Rouge the trashiest SEC college town?

BR has parts that are just like Jackson and parts that are just like Madison. It is just separated into two counties in Mississippi. Country Club of Louisiana and the wealth on Highland Road, as one example, are just as far from North Baton Rouge as Madison is from the slums of Jackson.

My grandparents lived in BR, still visit a good bit. I am familiar with it. Worked there for about 2 years. Even a block off Highland was thrash.

Lived in a higher value area off of Hoo Shoo TOO, and also behind BCBS of LA, cars were constantly broken into, hardly any pride and ownership around us.

I get it you have to cut your grass like 3 times a week down there, but at least keep it below the knees.
