​With Baton Rouge seeing an increase in local musicians promoting original works, Mid City has seen an upswing in where to go to pass a good time. Venues like Mid City Ballroom, The Guru, Pop Shop Records, Curbside, and White Star Market are hosting events ranging from solo and duo performances by singer/songwriters, as well as a number of larger, local bands, in an effort to give them a space to be heard. Many shows are all age shows, which means that families are able to share in the beauty that is music.

​Mid City Redevelopment Alliance is a HUD-designated Community Housing Development Organization that has produced rental, for sale, and lease purchase housing units through a mixture of developed, sponsored, and joint venture partnerships. These investment projects include new & rehab construction as well as single- & multi-family units.
