 Baton Rouge is the capital and the largest city of Louisiana, a state of the United States of America. Historically, Baton Rouge has been the second largest city in Louisiana behind New Orleans, but as of mid-2005, the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Katrina have, at least temporarily, reduced the population of New Orleans such that Baton Rouge is currently the largest city in Louisiana.

Join Councilwoman Tara Wicker who is a member of the “Litter Getters” team, led by Secretary of State Jay Dardenne, along Keep Baton Rouge Beautiful, and volunteers from
District 10 for the “Great Mid-City Clean-Up”, Saturday, September 19, 2009 from 8:00 a.m.–12:00 noon. The clean-up will focus on the 62 block region of Mid-City which is the original core target area for the Mid-City Redevelopment Alliance.
Mid-City is another one of those “jewels” in our city that should be cleaned up, polished off, and well maintained. This neighborhood is in the center of Baton Rouge and is one of the most traveled areas in our city. Everything happens here, it’s Mid-City!! The area is filled with great merchants, wonderful schools, recreational spaces, and great neighbors. I know this personally because this is where I grew up and still live today. It’s also a very natural community connector to downtown. I want my four kids to enjoy this beautiful community the way I did as a kid, says Councilwoman Wicker.”
Volunteers will meet at Sacred Heart School grounds located on the corner of Main St and North 22nd at 7:30 a.m. Refreshments will be provided.
