Why we love the corridor

A look at what makes life in a linear city so dang swell.

A changing city

With a booming business scene, Louisiana’s state capitol isn’t ‘playing second banana’ anymore.

Say hello to the Creative Corridor

Creating Destination 10/12

Corridor cities are planning bigger and better attractions than ever. But money could be a problem.

Homegrown Pour

These days, a foodie’s perfect meal is comprised not from fare shipped thousands of gas-intensive miles, but from seasonal ingredients that spring from the good earth nearby.

The million-dollar market

In the market for a million-dollar mansion? The 10/12 corridor currently has more than 100 of them for sale - from an affordable $1 million French Norman estate off Highland Road in Baton Rouge to a $5 million Acadian-style abode in Lake Charles.

Corridor as culinary adventure

Louisiana tourism is smoking hot and boiling over with excitement these days following the Louisiana Culinary Trails debut this summer.
