Jeez. Cut it out. You sound like a couple of teenage siblings on a long drive. I feel helplessly stuck between representatives from BR like JR Ball, who I respect and often agree with, and the NOLA contingent led by Ray Nagin, who I also respect for the way he's handled the one of the most difficult terms of public office.
Born and raised in Baton Rouge, I've taken advantage of nearly every reason to visit New Orleans. To the vast majority of us Baton Rougeons, we have long accepted NOLA as being the 'cooler' of the two cities with its rich history and architecture, modern museums and attractions, and many excuses to party.
I don't know who is trying to screw who nor do I know what in-laws gobbled up all the lucrative contracts. But two neighboring cities getting along and supporting each other sounds more like common sense rather than impossible. I aplogize for showing my Gen-X age and lack of a knack for prose but both sides suck for the low blows and baseless claims of superiority.
