Thursday, February 11, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, LA at the Baton Rouge River Center. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM CST.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
HOW DID BATON ROUGE GET ITS NAME?
The French name le baton rouge ("the red stick") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma ("red pole") Andre Joseph Penicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Penicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called ecorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [baton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge named the Oumas."

At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.

“Cruz on Trump’s win: NH a good state for liberal Republicans”
Now that Cruz has dissed NH and NY those states are gone for him. How many more states is Cruz going to dismiss before the election is over?
Great rally!
“This one is a bright orange with the male mask.”
I know, maybe he’s gay.
Great thread!
Yes, the credit card points for Southwest Airlines don’t expire. If you just go in and purchase a ticket using any old credit card, if you don’t use the ticket, the ticket refund money goes back into your “flight account” for a year.
I encouraged my kids to get Southwest credit cards because when you get one, they give you either one or two (depending on your credit) round-trip tickets if you spend oh I think it is $2000 in the first 3 months and pay r70 for the card fee...That was not hard for me to do with Christmas, and I put all my bills on the card that I could :)
Just love the flexibility of Southwest airlines**—and the act that you get 2 checked bags free in price of ticket—good for an inaugural ball ;)
I have Alaska Airlines credit card too—they have companion fares for $100 (used to be $50) so nice if going to Seattle, Alaska or Hawaii, not sure about Washington DC though.
No, don’t work for them—wish I did!
