Jaybird March 20th, 2005, 06:06 AM Not bad, although could use some more buildings in its skyline, though. 7/10.
MattSal March 20th, 2005, 06:34 AM Not a very impressive skyline, but the whole setting around the river adds a lot. I give it a 5.5/10.
Lmichigan March 20th, 2005, 07:18 AM I'm all for quality, and with the exception of the Capitol, and a few others, it's a very poor skyline.
5/10
LooselogInThePeg March 20th, 2005, 07:46 AM I give it 6.5
Looks clean which adds to my score but the dilapidated looking surroundings (the warehouses and other industrial) makes the surrounding area infringe on how nice the skyline looks. Still, I know that BR has seen some good growth over the last few years in terms of population so I wouldn't be surprised if some projects of significance were coming down the pike.
i_am_hydrogen March 20th, 2005, 07:50 AM 4/10 - I've been to Baton Rouge and it's skyline didn't impress me.

hauntedheadnc March 21st, 2005, 12:17 AM The skyline seems boxy and colorless, though I know that in the shadow of those unpossessing buildings, you find a lot to love. The art deco state capitol building is also a stunner. Overall, I guess I'll go with 6.
MuddyZehbra32 March 21st, 2005, 01:22 AM i dont think so. pathetic. 4
SoboleuS March 21st, 2005, 11:43 AM Quite average, but OK for a city of this size... 6/10
SkylineTurbo March 21st, 2005, 01:21 PM 8.5/10.
MightyKC November 21st, 2005, 07:37 AM For its size it deserves a 7/10
Jayayess1190 November 22nd, 2005, 02:00 AM there is a height limit. All buildings have to be shorter than capitol

TexasStar March 17th, 2007, 03:58 AM Not so hot, especially when compared to a smaller metro like Shreveport.

nano2192 April 3rd, 2007, 10:10 PM Not impressive but for a city of it size is cool...6.5/10
cajun504 July 9th, 2007, 03:35 AM This skyline sucks, but Baton Rouge riverfront is gitting 5 tall glass highrises (over 400ft), many of witch are condos, a streetcar line going from southern unv. to LSU, and a mojor riverfront hotel and casino, all over the next 6 years. New orleans and Baton Rouge are slowly growing together and BR city leaders are trying to develope a more cosmopaltin atmosthere, like New Orleans.
5/10 and very boring downtown, but only compared to New Orleans
LMCA1990 July 9th, 2007, 04:29 AM 7/10
Stefan88 July 9th, 2007, 04:48 AM The capital building looks nice but the skyline is spread to far apart for the amount of tall buildings it has. The setting though with the river makes up for it. 7/10
drmadham July 9th, 2007, 07:35 PM meh. how could someone give it a 10...cmon
Alle July 9th, 2007, 07:51 PM For a 225 000 city its good, 7.
