But JR I know plenty of black folks in Jackson with long paper!!!!Plenty of it... Between the hospitals, colleges, government jobs, self made businessmen, layers, doctors ect there is money flowing from jackon to the Metro Jackson area. Baton Rogue is a port city so the benefit from that but are there no suburban towns around baton rogue? 6.3% bit that bad based off what the Old Necks have been doing to Jackson for a while now.
Didn't say there were no rich people in Jackson. I said BR is doing better economically than Jackson and they are. Clinton, Madison etc are all doing well. I am mainly talking inside the city limits. You can see where BR is growing. Not counting the burbs. Jobs are actually in East Baton Rouge Parrish vs what is in Jackson/Hinds County. You got Fondren getting developed and the area by the Meadowbrook exit with the new planned multi use center. The Medical Center will always do well. But every city has Doctors and Nurses making that paper. LOL. I am sure the BR Doctors, Lawyers, Nurses are doing well. Hell with SU and LSU having Law Schools in BR, damn near everyone has a Law degree. LOL. We all know the hometown should be doing better. When I first went to SU. BR and Jackson were about equal level population wise. Them mofos have exploded. A lot do to Katrina but they were growing before hand. The white folks at home don't want to see Jackson do well. Where as BR has LSU sitting in the city limits and you know damn well they don't want to see BR fail with their beloved LSU being in the city.
