One of the best parts of Baton Rouge culture is our love for local businesses. Most of us would rather shop at our city’s own boutiques and markets than spend a dollar at the big-box chain. It’s no wonder the Capital Region is overflowing with women’s boutiques. LSU alumni, Louisiana natives, families and entrepreneurs have opened shops all over the city. And no matter where you are in town, there are hidden gems in every neighborhood.
