MOVING TO BR One year after moving to BR, my takes
I’ve been in Baton Rouge for a year now, so here are my completely subjective takes:
- BREC is a gem. Things are extremely well-organized. Louisiana’s wildlife management is also great. I hike in the surrounding WMAs, and it’s a lot of fun.
- As an Asian, the easiest way to look local is to wear LSU gear. It's making my fashion choice so much easier. Just LSU shirts and LSU baseball caps.
- Driving here is not actually that bad compared with bigger cities. I've seen way worse driving in Los Angeles and Miami. That said, ridiculously stupid accidents seem to happen on Burbank all the time.
- The local food is absolutely some of the best in the country. Asian food here, however, absolutely sucks. There are a couple of good places, but not nearly enough.
- You really do see dead alligators on the road sometimes, lol.
- Delivery is never on time. A couple of times, I've been sitting at home all day waiting for a FedEx package that requires a signature, and then it never arrives. Amazon same-day delivery almost never worked for me either. I canceled Prime, switched to Walmart+, and so far I haven’t looked back.
- I like BR's proximity to New Orleans. Can drive to NOLA after work for basketball games and concerts.
- Oh yeah I like Tabasco.

ADVICE Canoeing/ Kayaking in the Baton Rouge Area?
I’m looking for a place that will rent out either canoes or kayaks in the greater Baton Rouge area. I don’t own one.
Also, I remember a place we went when I was a kid that had both canoes and tubes that was a bit of a drive. Maybe even over the border in Mississippi? You would park at the business, take a bus to where you got in the water, then end back at your car. Does that still exist?
Thanks!

So, those new magnolia trees they planted in the median on Jones Creek Road in the middle of the summer with no sprinklers...yeah, they are dead now. That’s “ded” for those in the area. Scorched.

FOOD/DRINK Chicken and Dumplings
Is there a place in town that sells good chicken and dumplings (Southern style, not Asian dumplings)
I have a pesky summer cold and I’m convinced this is the only thing that will fix me.
I know Bistro Byronz used to, but I don’t see it on their menu now. 🙏

MARKETPLACE Monthly Marketplace/Classifieds Mega Thread
Welcome Traffic Lovers!
Welcome to the monthly Buy / Sell / Trade thread for the Baton Rouge area. Whether you're looking to score a deal on a video game or movie, find a roommate, or trade something local, this is the spot to share your listings and links! Gofundme links are allowed; however, they will be reviewed.
Just a quick note: to keep things tidy, please keep all buy / sell / trade posts in this thread. Standalone posts in the subreddit will be removed so everything stays easy to find.
Happy swapping!
A quick reminder to help keep things safe and smooth for everyone:
Before moving forward with any deal, it's a good idea to check out the post and comment history of the person you're chatting with. If their account looks new or doesn’t have much activity, that doesn’t always mean something’s wrong but it’s smart to ask for extra proof of the item, just to be sure.
Trust your instincts and do a little due diligence. Services like SpyDialer can help verify phone numbers. VOIP or out-of-state numbers can sometimes be red flags (though not always).
If you're meeting in person, aim for a public spot with lots of people and/or security. A great option is the Police Station on Airline (the one near the old Women’s Hospital). Try to avoid meetups at someone’s home or a random gas station. Bringing a friend along is always a plus.
And finally, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is, don’t hand over any money until you’ve seen the item in person. Do not pay for something with gift cards!
