Im a native of BR and I love the city to death. I've been reading up on all the downtown development websites and things, really excited to see all the ideas for the area, including the much needed loop around the city. I'm wondering why construction hasn't started on anything yet. If anyone has information on this, I'd love to know all about it. I see in the River Front development there's gonna be buildings (hotel/casinos?) facing the river and a couple new outdoor concert areas. It was a dissapointment not to see the River Place Tower built, it would've really improved our rather boring skyline.
I now live in uptown Houston and its so different but I'd really like to see BR improve its downtown and surrounding areas. I lived in Prairieville which is a suburb of BR and we seem to be getting more development than the city.
One of my next questions is, what will they do to South Baton Rouge Neighborhood, its a huge low income neighborhood near downtown and it would ne nice to see that area improved without rudely moving the residents to failed project buildings like in New Orleans.
