Of course Baton Rouge. I used to live in New Orleans and worked all through South Louisiana. I was always really nervous when I had to stop there.

I went to LSU, I was an out of state student. It was during a break that I decided to take Megabus from Baton Rouge to my hometown. The bus station was in the heart of Baton Rouge and when I tell you I’ve seen the some of worst and most disgusting types of people near that bus station. Drug addicts, drug dealers, extreme homeless people, and transgender prostitutes. From then on I always just carpooled to the New Orleans airport and flew home.

Heh, the Megabus leaves from the CATS station, which isn't anywhere near as scary as the Greyhound station. I used to have to get a transfer at the CATS station at night and I'm a younger looking woman, it was terrifying. There was usually a cop stationed there so I'd go sit by their car while I waited for my bus because fewer deranged creeps would bother me.

People think I'm joking when I said I feel safer in Chicago than I do in Baton Rouge.

In the context of your comment, I'm choosing to believe that that BR stands for Battle Royale.

Wait until you first hurricane. Folks will bend over backwards to help each other, but they do it with both eyes open. You go a week with no power, food & water running out, and zero effective government presence. You'll see the absolute best and worst of humanity.

Had a grown man crying in my front yard after Gustav because I wouldn't let him pay me for a cup of coffee or for taking care of his 90 year old father up the street from me.
