I love the site now, but I'll hate it once the road construction into 4 lanes start...just imagine the traffic?!

^ That would have definately lifted the face of downtown.
And just thinking, you know the corporate/citiplace area could qualify as a downtown itself, for a town the size of monroe or hammond..

According to wikipedia, census recorded an increase of 19,264 people raising the population to approximately 243,361.
I saw on the news last week sometime, when they mentioned that number(closely), and kip holding ordered that the census bureau recount, becuse from his numbers" he says" the population increased well over 50,000 people due to katrina... SO it was said that the count would be rechecked, so that baton rouge could reap all the benefits needed for a 50,000 people increase rather than a rushed "19,000+..
so that would bump us up to around 274,000 give or take a couple thousand.

That's what I want too, something like the Riverwalk. The first thing I thought when I saw that thing was what would happen if a barge got loose and bam! I would much rather walk on solid ground next to the Mississippi River than walk on a platform dangling above it.
Well they can build it if they want, but you won't find me on it...............well maybe once or twice,
but its just not appealing to me..

No hopes crushed here. I'm not expecting it to be built over night, but I know that eventually it will get built or something similar to it. Baton Rouge is progressing right now and I feel that in order for it to continue, it needs to utilize something(the river) that other cities die to have.
^ I agree with the progression part definately, and I am 100% with the new buildings downtown. But for some reason, and I guess its just the 3d rendering of the riverfront, the bottom of it looks very artificial and I think it would take away from the density view....but I could be wrong..

^ Thanks alot Richy, I cant wait to these projects start. And maybe more police patrol in the north area also..

I passed by perkins rowe the day before yesterday, and most of the construction is finished, frame wise anyway. It is an awsome accomplishment for the south end of town. "a little city within a city"..
-
not to crush everyones hopes, but I just dont see a Riverfront Deck coming anytime soon. It just looks kinda unstable, and i think it takes away from the levee...just my opinion
-
anyone here ever seen the original renderings for the Riverfront condos?? They were actually going to be two towers...

Thank you guys very much for your welcoming. Also a little about myself, Im a resident of the north baton rouge area (southern Hieghts) near southern university, and I've witnessed so much growth throughout the southern region of our city, and I find myself marveled at the rate of businesses going to that area. I've read some threads where you guys mentioned the howell place developments and me being very familiar with that area, it seems that plans have been going on for that area for some years now! Too Long.. Do you guys have any info on new developments in north BR?

Alot of people dont know, but you can actually see the state capitol from southern university, especially at night on the bluff(or levee) behind southern campus..
