It may very well be the most amazing and unique quality of Baton Rouge, it pervades all of Louisiana but perhaps is exhibited no where more clearly than it is in the capital city - community. This is community as it was intended, and that is evidenced by how perfectly the different cultures, lifestyles, backgrounds and potpourri of people live among one another. There is a sense of appreciation and pride of the French, Indian, African (and on and on...) cultures that is witnessed everyday in the shops, restaurants and activities of Baton Rouge.
