Population speculation

About the population issue, the population given out by the U.S. Census Bureau is for permenant residents living in the city only (not the temporarily transients). Unless these people take up residence elsewhere, the census will likely assume that they still live in New Orleans, as long as they reside and pay taxes within the city limits. Moreau36; 2136, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Baloney U.S Census Estimates

Now you know how un exact population estimates are. the 2005 estimates showed baton rouge's population as 224,000 (less than what it exactly is), but it could be alot more that it actually looks. they just probably did an tax payer count, and some people didnt participate.

yeah, but that's only within the city limits. not many people who live in east baton rouge parish actually live within city limits; just drive downtown, and you'll see what i mean. the metropolitan population i think is at about 700,000 people or so. sadly, 224,000 is probably right. the population of baton rouge should increase soon, though, with all the revamping they're doing.

Hurricane Katrina

Before my edit" Baton Rouge will serve as a headquarters for emergency coordination and disaster relief in Louisiana.

Edited sentence: Baton Rouge will serve as a headquarters for Federal (on site) and State emergency coordination and disaster relief in Louisiana.

My inclusion: [Federal (on site) and State]

Is that exceptable?

the sister city section is totally gone.

Crime

Where is the crime section? People have a right to know that Baton Rouge is a high crime city and probably one of the most dangerous places to live in the U.S.

Main article: Neighborhoods of Baton Rouge


Baton Rouge did not grow much into a city until after the during the late 19th century to early 20th century.[1] In fact much of what is now downtown was the whole town of Baton Rouge. Even today many residents and visitors refer to Baton Rouge as having a small town feel for a city of its size.[2] The Baton Rouge skyline stands along the Mississippi River that feeds the commercial and financial success of Louisiana's capital city.[3] The State Capitol building, tallest in the country, stands apart looking upon the business district. The Louisiana “town” sits on the banks of the Mississippi River and serves as the gateway to much of the commerce in northern reaches of the United States. 1885352611[4] In 1998, with the consolidation of the Eastern European styled state buildings in restructured Capital Park, Baton Rouge embarked on a citywide effort aimed at transforming its fading downtown into a new urbanist-inspired vision of a walkable, vibrant community where a diverse population could live, work and play. [5] 

====Downtown====

Downtown Baton Rouge is the city’s oldest established area, with two neighborhoods — Spanish Town and Beauregard Town — that date back to the early 1800s.[6] The area of Downtown itself was once the actual Town of Baton Baton Rouge dating back to the settlements in 1721. Downtown Baton Rouge home to museums, restaurants, attractions, and landmarks, including both State Capitol houses , two Governor’s Mansions and a 5000 year Native American Mound.[7] Downtown East includes a recently designated National Historic District, with new businesses being established in the historic side of the city.[8]

Mid City

Bordering the Garden District and Downtown East, Mid City is an easy mix of homes, businesses, schools, and antique shops, and home to Mid City Beer Garden. The neighborhood’s two annual art festivals — White Light Night and Hot Art, Cool Nights, taking place in November and May, respectively — draw crowds who revel in the works of local artists and sounds of area musicians. [9] [10]

Garden District

Situated on the outskirts of Louisiana State University, this district is known for its diverse offerings parks, restaurants, museums, galleries, and classic Oak Tree scenery, accented by classic Southern architecture. This neighborhood is a combination of three Historic Districts, that has trail to run or bike ride around LSU’s lakes.The annual St. Patrick’s Wearin’ of the Green Parade, one of the city’s acclaimed holiday celebrations occurs here.[11]

Scotlandville

Nestled in the northern section of the East Baton Rouge Parish, Scotlandville sits between the Mississippi River and Southern University, part of the only historically black colleges and universities system in the United States. It was the largest African American town in the state of Louisiana. The area has numerous African American landmarks, two historic theaters, and is the location of the original Red Stick., for which the city of Baton Rouge is named. The Baton Rouge airport is located in Scotlandville. Scotlandville is located the North Baton Rouge District.ref>Emanuel, Rachel L.; Ruby Jean Simms; and Charles Vincent. Scotlandville.

Baton Rouge is located on the banks of the Mississippi River in southeastern Louisiana.[13] It lies on a low elevation of 56 to a little over 62 feet above sea level.[14] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area 79.1 square miles (204.9 km2), of which 76.8 square miles (198.9 km2) are land and 2.2 square miles (5.7 km2) (2.81%) are covered by water. The city is located on the first set of bluffs north of the Mississippi River Delta's coastal plains. Because of its prominent location along the river and on the bluffs, which prevents flooding, the French built a fort in the city in 1719.[15] Baton Rouge is the third-southmost capital city in the continental United States, after Austin, Texas, and Tallahassee, Florida. Baton Rouge is 79 miles (130 km) northwest of New Orleans[16],59 miles (90 km) northeast of Lafayette[17] and 130 miles (210 km) east of Lake Charles[18]. It is the cultural and economic center of the [[Baton Rouge metropolitan

Baton Rouge has three artificial lake systems within the city limits, University Lake,City Park Lake, and Capitol Lake [19][20] and two still active Swamps, Devil's Swamp and Bluebonnet Swamp.[21] [22] The lakes provide venues for boating, swimming, and other forms of recreation on the lake shores. Bayou Manchac, a historic waterway that was a main stream of travel between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, sits on the along the city limits. The city sits upon on of the few natural water well systems in the country.[23] At one time it was noted as the best tasting water in the nation.[24] [25] A large water tower was completed in 1888 by E. Smedley and John H. Wood of Dubuque, Iowa which could hold 132,500 gallons of water.[26]Along with flat lands, Baton Rouge does have a small section of the city with natural hills and valleys.
