Baton Rouge is the state capital and home of the state’s flagship institution,LSU. Situated near the Acadian region, Baton Rouge blends the Old Southand Cajun cultures. Baton Rouge is one of the nation’s busiest ports and thecity’s economy rests heavily on the chemical, oil, plastics, and agriculturalindustries. The great outdoors provide excellent year-round recreational activities, especially fishing, hunting, and water sports. The proximity ofNNew Orleans provides for superb nightlife, especially during Mardi Gras.The city is also only two hours away from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, andfour hours from either Gulf Shores or Houston.
