If you work downtown or in the big industrial complexes in north Baton Rouge: Zachary and Central are still the best choices.
Northern AP is very solid and really improving. My guess is that these are where the best public schools are. Closest to the white collar jobs and the big medical complexes in south Baton Rouge.
If you work at Dow or CF on the West Bank, I’d go with Brusly or Addis.
St George will have the most amenities, but they don’t have their public schools sorted quite yet. Some of the nicest, most expensive housing in the area.
Gonzales is ideal if one spouse works in New Orleans and the other in Baton Rouge.
IMO the best ones are St Francisville and New Roads. But you will need more $$ for housing if that smaller town feel with lots of boujee festivals and events are important. Less housing stock in general so these are a little more exclusive.

Went there a year back after a doctor's appointment and it was horrible. Service was terrible, food was worse.
Just didn't seem like the owners and management cared anymore. Maybe a dozen customers at most.

109 passengers is about 2 rail cars for Amtrack?
Not shitting on it - I think a NOLA to DFW route through BTR would be great to see. Some sections potentially could be highish speed.

Then go directly across the interstate and demolish the old OYO that is abandoned, overgrown and just about every room door is wide open. Lord only knows what's going on there after hours.
Yes - and at some point the properties have to be classified as a nuisance and the business license suspended and potentially a lien placed on the property. I've seen Baton Rouge follow a process like this maybe a handful of times ever - with OYO hotels.

Gold spot price goes up $2k/troy ounce in 3 short years - Barely a blip from the financial media.
It drops 6% from all time highs and suddenly fear articles start popping up all over the place saying a crash is eminent.

Here is my take. If we get to a point where you need the physical assets to trade, then things are so fricked up that what you will really need is guns, bullets, and canned goods.
Gold is a hedge against monetary policy stupidity.
Items more easily bartered are a hedge against civilization - like silver coins, bullets, weapons, canned guns, fuel, garden tools, seeds, tires, etc.

Kirk notably detested colleges.
He didn't detest colleges. He detested the environment created on many college campuses that undermined free speech and independent thought.
Oddly enough, LSU is better than most in that respect.

True.
Not a fan of them or Jeff Landry though.

I don't buy American made vehicles anyway, so no big deal.
I'm a Toyota guy. But some Toyotas didn't have Carplay even in 2023. And Toyota's native UI is not nearly as slick as GM's.
The lack of Carplay and the really terrible infotainment setup is why I foolishly didn't buy a 200 series Land Cruiser while they were still being built. It would have APPRECIATED in value if I bought one. :banghead:

agreement to use Android as the OS to build their custom crap
I think Google and GM want to own that data and not share it with Apple. Tesla did something similar.
To their credit....GM has a pretty slick UI. I guess that's the privilage/advantage of being massive and having a big budget for tech like that.
This might be a bad move for GM though still. And it would be a catastrophically stupid move for smaller companies with clunky UI's like Subaru and Mazda (or Volvo now that they threw their excellent sensus-based sysem out a couple of years ago and went with a really clunky, busy setup as an alternative).

Sherman deserves a statue at LSU
Dude....I urge you to visit the base of eastern elevation of the Campanile and you'll see how obtuse you are being.
One simply has to walk southeast about 100 paces to the edge of the sidewalk, step behind the first bench, push back the branches of the azaleas, and brush away the excess mulch and you'll see a plaque with William Sherman's name on it.
It's a fitting recognition of William Sherman.

I thought it was a bad sign for him to be going through a separation while trying to rebuild the team and get them competitive again. That shite takes a toll on a person.
I felt like he was compesated enough for his job to remain a priority.
Maybe Kelly was just a jerk. He was putting individual players on blast in press conferences even during his first season. There were clear signs that he was the wrong guy.
I don't feel bad about him getting fired. I felt bad for Coach O - I wanted him to do well, not just the team. I want LSU to do well under Kelly, but I could care less about him. I never liked him personally, but I could look past all that if he produced good results. He's a jerk and he's a bad cultural fit for LSU. And I'd argue that some of his flaws would make him a bad fit at any college or university - they are hard to overlook in a world of NIL and deeper emphasis on recruitment and retention.
Maybe he should look at the media or the NFL where poor character is sort of excused and being a jerk can be masked.
Mike the Tiger is my favorite cat.

You know this MF hasn't done anything that improves LA if he's pushing ideas like this.
I'd argue that in several ways....he's made things worse.
Torpedoing the sediment diversion project instead of "influencing" it will hurt us a lot in the coming decades. Most of it had federal funding already earmarked too.
He's going to pimp the META project, Hyundai, etc. - but those were LED identified and marketed mega-sites that have existed since the first Jindal administration - and in the case of Hyundai....the company is warning Louisiana to clean up the infrastructure around the site or they won't build. And META is actually where they were trying to get a Japanese car company to open a plant years ago. Many years of effort just happen to finally pay off when he took the reigns.
I can't think of any way that Landry has done anything that has improved the state. He's just another JBE.

I say we put up a statue of Todd Graves once he pays Jeff Landry's buyout.
He's going to insist on a statue of his yellow lab. He's that guy, and that's why it's hard not to like Graves.

I used to watch Charlie Kirk’s show all the time, but this right here is next-level Landry nonsense. The hard part is figuring out how to cover it without taking shots at Kirk himself.
You don't need any meme advice.....but I would not rush into this one. :lol:

When honoring someone, it is customary to consider how that person would view such an honor.
Anyone with clear judgment who read or saw anything by Charlie Kirk would see that he would not appreciate a statue of him.
If you want to honor the man, set up a course which teaches his thought processes and ethics.
Do something effective.
Excellent post; and I suspect that Kirk's org (Turning Point) should be consulted before considering statues.
I don't think Kirk would have thought too much of Jeff Landry.
quote:
That would require sound policy decisions
He is in bed with too many special interests (just like JBE) to properly prioritize the needs of the state.
That's as polite as I can be about Jeff Landry.

A lot of people are saying she allegedly reposted an edited version of her original online video showing the door wide open after allegedly taking down the original video where the door was slightly cracked and she opened it so the whole "he left the door wide open".
The customer is laying low and being quiet while door dash girl keeps digging a hole posting more videos about the incident which brings up another point about the lack of accountability.
The customer is wisely being tight lipped knowing he has a very good case for a lawsuit. Meanwhile the delivery girl keeps on posting videos which in a normal world would be the absolute worst thing someone in her position should be doing but because she's a woman and he's part of the one and only "oppressor" demographic she'll get off with at worst a slap on the wrist and won't have to pay a penny while Door Dash will end up having to clean up her mess and settle out of court with the customer.
I can't believe that she doesn't have a parent, sibling, or friend to tell her "you are being ridiculous....stop now". Maybe she does and she's ignoring it.

Supposedly a big donor is doing it already.
