For my Louisiana readers around the Baton Rouge area this blog might be of interest. That is Abandoned Baton Rouge.
The pictures are sad to look at but interesting. I spent just a few years in Baton Rouge but pictures like this I can relate too see Broadmoor Theatre, Merchants Landing flea market, and more.
The one thing that struck me about Baton Rouge when I lived there was a sense that the development of the city was really odd. I know we hear about Urban planning and all but it seems there were no rules or no plan was followed at all. Which had the result of horrible traffic and often me not wanting to go the mall for instance (WHAT A HASSLE). (This was before the Mall of Louisiana).
Anyway I think that sort of contribtes to parts of Baton Rouge being abandoned in a weird patchquilt fashion.
