Baton Rouge is a fascinating city. It has two of the most interesting State Capitol buildings in the country as well as one of the most recognizable universities. In this series I briefly cover a city's history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make that city unique. Thanks for watching: Baton Rouge Overview | An informative introduction to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Thanks to ‪@LambertBricks‬ for providing the historic map of Baton Rouge!

I was born in Baton Rouge (my family left for Saudi Arabia when I was young then settled in Houston) but don’t have much memory of it. We mostly just pass through it on the way back and forth to New Orleans, sometimes stopping at Tony’s seafood. I learned some things. Nice video

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Baton Rouge is an amazing city. However, I was a little disappointed not to see Southern University highlighted in this video as well. If you ever make an updated video about the amazing city of Baton Rouge, please consider include them as well. ❤️ Southern University is located on that historic bluff, at the site of the “red stick”.

Oh boy, a city I’ve actually visited. You did another fine job with this overview. That massive downtown bridge over the Mississippi River contains ALL the east/west bound traffic of Interstate 10 traveling across the country. So many big trucks to boot. Last time we visited we got stuck at the top of that bridge with traffic crawling at 5 mph. We had a commanding view of the river and downtown! Also, LSU has a huge influence even as far away as here in Houston. We see college caps and shirts from Texas A&M, University of Texas, and then in 3rd place LSU…not University of Houston! Imagine that! After seeing your fine video, I need to give Baton Rouge another chance….if I can just get off that bridge! 🥇⭐️🥳🏆🌠

Lived here personally. Would not recommend it especially if you like cities with actual good transit options. The traffic is always a mess and you can spend much of your life here stuck in a traffic jam. The city as well is also not very safe even around LSU's campus. I loved being there for a time but the problems with the city ended up outweighing the pro's and the grass is truly greener after moving out.

I rate the video a 1 out of 5. It does not mention that Southern University the only Historically Black College and University System is located in Baton Rouge. Southern is a large part of the fabric on the City the home of the Southern Jaguars which has produced 3 NFL Hall of Fame Football Player. Southern bands has played in Presidential Inauguration, Rose Bowl Parades and NFL games. The University has produced military Generals and has alumnus in all field all over the world. You missed the mark by not even mentioning The Southern University.
