batonrouge

I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I drove around the old dealership lot they are leasing for the production. It was Team Toyota on Florida Blvd in Baton Rouge. The entire lot is fenced with razor wire on top. There were about five General Lee's visible parked outside with only the orange basecoat. No "01" or flag yet. There were also several completely unpainted ones. There was a General Lee under a "garage area" apparently being sprayed - the "01" was visible - still can't confirm the flag. There were quite a number of cop cars parked in the way back - hard to see from the street. Some appeared to still have the white plastic that comes on new vehicles attached. There was one - probably 1970's or 1980's era - convertible - something big and square and rust colored. Possibly the Boss Hog car waiting to be re-done???? Jessica Simpson did purchase a home in the University Club subdivision which is close to the LSU campus and is a gated golf-course community. I am still not sure why she didn't choose the more upscale and elite Baton Rouge Country Club area (the former subdivision of the now infamous Master P and now convicted Governor Edwin Edwards of LA and across from Jimmy Swaggert's home - yeah, we got all the good ones down here). The filming is to be done in and around Jackson, LA which is a very quaint picturesque area north of Baton Rouge. The old Team Toyota lot is full of semi trailers and there was activity everywhere on Saturday morning when I passed including the catering truck.
