Well, let me start by pointing out Livingston's bad side. I will not go into detail but will give you a list. The cops are corrupt! If they don't like the color of your skin or the clothes you wear, you will be stopped    eventually for no reason. The mayor has too much power and he's loose with it. Helping himself and his friends paying no attention to the town. There are no family activities. Arts? There is a park right next to a highway and a sewer canal want to play? As far as tourism and history goes who knows? I was never educated about our past here. No one speaks a word of it and tourism is a bust who wants to come get pulled over (everyone knows about Livingston police). Thats all I have to say about this small rumor infested town.

I moved from Baton Rouge to Denham Springs and noticed how corrupt the police are right away.  They will try to destroy you rather than be there to help you.  They look for reasons to harrass you and stop you as you mentioned.  This city does not know the meaning of working with youth through culture and mentorship.  They do not listen to anyone unless you are from one of the original families in Denham Springs or you have enough money to impress them.  As the new influx of educated and active families move in, these issues will be brought out in the open and they will be forced to change.
