A Thread on What’s going on at Millennial Park ...
1) This is NOT about shutting down Millennial Park
2) Millennial Park is apply for a Liquor License but has to change the zoning in that area
3) This is NOT a race issue
4) Neither side is “wrong” for wanting what they want

I have no invested interest on either side ! Someone sent me the article on a possible injustice happening in Baton Rouge in hopes to support .. I do research before steering or rallying anyone behind a cause .. Last night I stayed up watching videos & articles

Millennial Park is looking to expand its services to building next door. Turning the spot into a Sports Bar.
In order to do that the area must be rezoned with the city

Residents in summary say :
Theres already not enough parking, adding a Bar will increase the number of ppl parking in this neighborhood. There is Loud music from cars + the venue. People are leaving trash in the neighborhood . Adding a Liquor license will only make things worse
