Baton Rouge vs. Baton Rouge: Breaking the Turf Mentality

Patrick "Patty G" Gremillion joins the show to unpack Julio Malera’s column comparing Baton Rouge to Columbus, Ohio—and why BR needs to stop chasing perfection and start executing. From the pitfalls of fragmented leadership to the scarcity mindset that pits downtown against the rest of the city, this episode dives into how Baton Rouge can build momentum with good-enough plans like Thrive EBR and Plan BR3. Gremillion calls for unity, livability, and a shift from turf wars to teamwork. If Baton Rouge wants to thrive, it must embrace collaboration, invest in residents, and stop waiting for perfect. The time to act is now.
