I too grew up in North Baton Rouge(Istrouma area). Used to ride our bikes for miles without fear of someone blowing your head off to steal your tennis shoes(Like it is now). I really feel sorry for the old people that worked their butts off to buy their home and are now stuck in those neighborhoods because they don't have the funds to get out of there. They literally have to 'board up 'the doors and windows after dark and dare not walk outside. If I had Bill Gates' money, I would buy 1000 acres and try to rescue these hardworking, honest people that live their lives in constant fear....And WT you are right about Baker. Going downhill fast...
