Top of the capitol building is definitely the thing to do. I’ve taken people there are they like it.
A drive to St Francisville to check out the myrtles or other plantation homes is a must as well. Not very far away either.

Roofies, and a quick plane trip to Paris!!!
Maybe make it to Venice, Italy instead so they don't ask about the swamps and flooding?

Speak for yourself. There is some gorgeous scenery in the swamps and marshes of LA. Non-hunters and fishermen pay for tours all the time.

Quick google search of metro areas by population and the ones around BR:
El Paso TX (not sure if this counts bc of how close Juarez is that essentially doubles the size of the town)
Allentown PA
Columbia SC
North Port/Sarasota FL
New Haven CT
Charleston SC
Dayton OH
Oxnard CA

Show them where we're building a Top Golf

Historical:
-State Capitol/Arsenal
- Capitol Park Museum(very underrated)
-Port Hudson National Cemetery and Battlefield Park
-Old State Capitol Tour.
-USS Kidd Tour
-Magnolia Mound Plantation.
-Tour the LSU campus and take in some real history of the university. LSU as a top tier officer producing university during WW2 goes VERY under-appreciated by younger generations.
Exercise:
-The Beast Trail in St Francisville.
-Levee between downtown and LSU(The Mississippi River is very impressive to visitors. We take for granted how big the MFer is).
-LSU Lakes
Dining:
-Tsunami and 18 Steak for atmosphere/view
-Louisiana Lagniappe for great local food
-Chimes/Roux 61/Willies for casual local Food.
-Walk-Ons Campus if he's a college sports fan.

I used to do this route below before the got damn boat launch was put down there. Was a bitch to get out the bayou back then.
I used to live on Fox Run and had a gate behind my house to walk down and put in our pirogue. We would paddle from there to Highland and get out and get a ride back in a friend's truck.
That's a great little slice of nature right in the city.

And wih the exception of gambling and Disney what the frick do those cities offer?
Posted on 6/20/18 at 11:06 am to Oilfieldbiology
impress? maybe alleviate the ennui of the town (and i grew up there and loved it as a kid/college student)
i'd take them by the campus and lakes
lunch at Tony's or some authentic equivalent
Rural Life Museum
dinner at Chimes, Parrains, Digulios, etc. Anywhere with semblance of personality and atmosphere
a show at Teddy's (a little bit out of town)
that really only covers 1 day ... not sure what the hell you do after that other than shopping, golfing, fishing, eating more and sightseeing as it were.
