A lluring town to take in from towering view

WHAT’S ALL THERE TO DO HERE?
“RUGGED” ROUGE
There is a line in this Lainey song…”steady staring at these mountains in a bar in Baton Rouge” While there are no great mountain ranges here in these parts, B.R. does have decent hiking and bike trails, especialy at Comite (pronounce the English words, “Comb” and “eat” together) River Park. Check out trails at Comite.
BATON ROUGE’S DISTINCT RAP SIG- JIG!
A signature sound of Baton Rouge is represented by the “jig” or “dirty South” rap style of Baton Rouge. “Jiggin’ refers to the energetic hometown music and dance style and in basic terms, means “doing things uniquely different or wild”.

“BOO-dan”
GEAUX (GO) TIGERS!
No other two word combo is more popular to say in Baton Rouge! Ed Orgeron, former coach of the Louisiana State University football team, is known for his endearing, thick Cajun accent. You’ll hear similar accents spoken throught B.R.
Time for band music! See the spectacle of the pre football game at LSU.
