Baton Rouge 1981: Getting around


In the summer of '81, in downtown Baton Rouge . . .


. . . this is pretty much what it looked like . . .


. . . as folks sat or stood around . . . in the afternoon heat . . .


. . . as they patiently waited . . . because these things took their own sweet time . . .


. . . for the bus. Which eventually arrived.
