Relocation? Where can I find info on the state we are moving to?

Question

My husband has been relocated to Baton Rouge, LA. Neither of us care to live in the city, however. Is there anywhere I can go to get info on the towns surrounding Baton Rouge? Schools, community . . .? We are kind of making a blind move and I don't want to move into a bad area. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

Umm the computer you're looking at...


Yahoo Local and type in schools, churches, sex stores etc.

The internet is amazing. Try it out!

Answer 2

I lived outside of Baton Rouge for 5 years (in Prarieville). I think the best bet would be live outside of the city in a suburb. The upside I can say is the people in LA are really friendly and there is lots to do, Baton Rouge is right by New Orleans. I put some websites below. The first is the official city website and the second is about the schools. Good luck with your move.

Answer 3

I have relatives who used to live in Baton Rouge and now live here - it is kind of rural and I like it much better than Baton Rouge:

Answer 4

Wikipedia has lots of information as well as links. Check that out. Also, check out the local website of the city / town. www.city-data.com/forum also has lots of discussion on specific states and cities.

Have fun!

Answer 5

You can write to or evem e-mail the Louisiana state chamber of commerce or tourist bureau to get state information. The best thing would be to take a trip there and look around for yourself before packing up and hailing your life there.
