A review of this place: Born and Raised — 2 years ago
I was actually born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Long story short, it’s a place worth visiting but not a place worth living in. You have wonderful culture, a rich history, and access to all the things that make Louisiana the unique beast that it is. At the same time, however, you have a city that consistently fails those who need it most, significant racial divides, and the ever-famous Louisiana politics, which are fun to watch as long as it’s not you getting the short end of the stick when they screw up (which is often).
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunities I needed to go elsewhere, and I took them gladly. But I still consider it my home, and despite its many, many shortcomings, have a fond place for it in my heart.
