Baton Rouge Photo of the Day

[richyb83]

Is this really Baton Rouge??

[nquint1]

I believe that's Perkins Rowe. I thought the same thing the first time I walked around that place. Someone needs to take a picture of the chandelier that's outside the Cinemark there.

Man I went out to Perkins Rowe on Friday to see Hancock. It was cool to see people out and about enjoying the atmosphere.

I wonder how sales are going for the residences?

[richyb83]

Good question Bryde, seems like a remember 70%?? But that might have actually been the Crescent condo's at University Lake.

Yeah you right naquint1. Some of us here on UP still find it hard to believe with this development; a "city" within in a city(or suburbs). I had said Perkins Rowe is now the "unofficial" downtown for SE BR.

I posted this awhile back in PR thread.

Here's a few pics I whipped up on Google Sketch up of the B.R. skyline once all the projects are done.

First, here's a pic that Richy so affectionately calls the B.R.'s "dinosaur" skyline picture.

Our skyline once all the projects are through.

Here is all the new construction highlighted in gold and renovations highlighted in yellow.

More mall pics

Mall of Louisiana

Mall at Cortana

As always, excellent work Dan Talk about an elongated skyline if RiverPark gets done! It has been really fun watching downtown grow since the late 90's.

When did you take those pics?? The Malls look dead.

That's funny and cool you still remember my dinosaur reference to the skyline pic Wiki kept up for too long.

the intersection of Bluebonnet @ Perkins, not sure where the dirt came from, probably from the Perkins construction, it's been piled up so long, grass has grown.

[byrde]

Yeah Perkins Summit is next to the KFC on Perkins. The grass didn't take long to take root.

Here's a great photo of the I-10 bridge over the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge. This one popped up on my Flickr page and is courtesy of lolowar.

Wow.. Perkins Rowe at night. Very cool.

Too bad no one is around. Maybe that will change soon.

[hagetaka]

now only if they can secure some retail, a hotel, and some residential space, this could be the place for mid Baton Rouge

[richyb83]

Thanks for those pics neweragenius; and welcome to the Forum's

LT, Great lighting in those Perkins Rowe shots!! I'm jealous my camera won't take night-time photo's like that. BTW how late did you take those pics?? It sure looked mighty quiet over there.

No doubt Bonne Carre and BRCC have really helped revitalize the Mid-city area. My Dad say's Bonne Carre the architecture and Palm trees looks like something out of Baghdad

Get you a DSLR Richy.

I was in Bonne Carre today for a meeting. They really have cleaned that place up. They need some retail and restaurants there. Right now all they have is a Subway.

[hagetaka]

@ Richy, it was late or early, 2:30 am, the place was ghost, perfect time to get use to snapping night pics

[dan326]

These pictures are great! Not to be an architecture nerd or anything, but the Bon Carre Center doesn't have any Middle Eastern architecture. It's more a mix of Medditerrainian and Florida.
