This coming from a guy who thought Orlando was a cool city. From your views in this thread it's clear that you obviously need to get out more. If you aren't hanging out in North BR then you would have no problem in BR. I have lived in several cities across the south and have felt safer in BR then any of the others.

Still way better than Montgomery.

No, Baton Rouge is a lot better than Montgomery. That city has nothing going for it, at all. Even their bass pro shop is just okay.

Believe me BR isn't the best but it's a hell of a lot better than Montgomery.

Tell me one city in Alabama that would be better
This might take awhile

If BR gets a bowl they should have it at Southern so we can load up on the popcorn and watch the fireworks.

for a bowl game?

Spanish Fort to Fairhope...there's like a magical kryptonite shield on Jubilee Parkway.

It would be the most suitable location for the game. It being in tiger stadium would be too much of a privilege for any other teams.

In the bigger picture though, there's already about 15 bowls too many anyhow.

The stadium is not Crapton Bowl, but Alabama State's brand new stadium.
Montgomery like most cities in Alabama stink, but Montgomery has really improved the last few years. The downtown area has an entertainment district that is doing very well.

This could be a good thing, depending on how much time you have to spend in those cities. I was in Montgomery for 4 days a few years ago and after day number 2, getting shot didn't sound all that bad.
Also, FWIW, I love the LSU area of Baton Rouge, especially College Town and Garden District neighborhoods around the lakes. Outside of that, however, I'm never upset to get back to New Orleans and/or the Northshore.
Still, I would MUCH rather spend a few days in Baton Rouge than Jackson or Montgomery.

Orlando deserves a spot IMO. Been there all week and was really impressed with the city
Probably because you're from Mississippi (I assume). You'd probably be impressed with Mogadishu if you visited considering Orlando isn't much better.

I got lost in ghetto Orlando one night, and I didnt feel safe. I don't know if it was all that bad, or if it just seemed bad because I was used to Baton Rouge, one thing I do know is that I didn't get shot.

Wasn't Montgomery while they used to play the Blue / Gray game?
Posted on 6/15/13 at 11:38 pm to BradPitt
Once again, I forgot about the Capital one bowl. Once again, I was basing that off the night life in Orlando. Orlando is better than all of those cities listed but that definitely isn't saying much.

I witnessed a drive by shooting while walking to the Citrus Bowl.
