The Downtown Development District’s 2021 Yearbook mentions “In 1950, Third Street was the heart of not only downtown, but of Baton Rouge.” After years of decline, the Third Street corridor has re-emerged as the place to live, work, and play in Baton Rouge. New retailers and developments along Third Street are bringing more residents downtown than ever before, fulfilling a long-term vision for the city’s center that’s been in the works for more than two decades. Featuring many of the city’s best restaurants, music venues, and bars, Third Street is already thriving with nightlife and entertainment options. Major investments in residential developments and essential services, such as a grocery store and a pharmacy, are helping to make downtown more livable.”
and, “Third Street was awarded by the Louisiana Chapter of the American Planning Association in 2018 as a ‘Great Street.’”
