Go to visit Mike the Tiger on LSU campus and see Tiger stadium!
Visit the Rural Life museum- a great museum that commemorates life in rural Louisiana in the 1800's.
Visit Rosedown Plantation or the River Road Plantations- the antebellum plantations in the area.
Ride the Ferry across the Mississippi River.
Those are just some of the highlights that come to mind.
What about the Belle of Baton Rouge?

Not TRUE! Itallian in the Metroplex is off the hook, ALL kinds of Asian food can be found. There are lots of places to get really good modern American food. (you can even get good cajun if you are careful!)
Rhoni, Dallas might not have 11 theators to see musicals, but we do have VERY good food!
Have you ever been to Addison?

Also, my sister-in-law was born and raised in Finley. Her family, the Boals, were/are pretty prominent in the Finley community. Her grandfather, Homer Boals, owned the grocery store next to the post office. They tore down the store a few years ago. Her uncle was postmaster there for several years!
They own a large farm off of highway 104 in which the movie "In the Heat of the Night" starring Sidney Poitier was filmed.
Small world isn't it?
Yes, I know "Bro. Barney" well. His family has been friends of ours for years. My dad pastored the church in Finley from 1970 to 1997. Bro. Hardwick was in Finley with his wife and his sister just a few months ago and visited with my mom there. I have some friends who attend CC and they tell me he often speaks of growing up in Finley.
I also know the Boals family. Might even know your SIL. I remember Mr. Homer well and the store as well as her Uncle KERMIT! He was the postmaster. I also know well the farm you mentioned. I used to drive by there everyday on my way home. It's a beautiful "mansion". It took some damage from the tornadoes a few years ago and had to be repaired. I think it was prettier before but still a very nice place.
