‘225’ celebrates 10 years of covering Baton Rouge


When 225 launched in November 2005, Baton Rouge was a strikingly different place. In this commemorative edition, we relive an incredible decade that transformed our city. From national championships to Hurricane Katrina, we chronicle the moments that made us laugh and the ones that made us cry. We revisit the people, places and events that changed our landscape.

But perhaps most importantly, we look toward the future, envisioning the projects and people that will make this city more electric than ever.

We can’t think of a better place to make a magazine in.
