One of the main things to do in Baton Rouge is to eat delicious food.
PerksGarden District Coffee (on Perkins Rd) or Highland Coffee (by LSU; always full of lots of studying students).By national standards, for such a small market, the Times-Pic (sometimes nicknamed the Times-Pick-Your-Nose) is actually pretty good.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Times-Picayune
It's won several Pulitzers. The Sun-Herald (Biloxi) is another small paper that's far better than it should be, given how small the market is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Herald
Getting back to the Times-Pic, Walker Percy once said that it's a sorry little paper, but it's the only thing keeping the politicians from stealing the underwear off the people of Louisiana. James Gill is still there and is generally one of the best opinion writers around. Check out his book for a good history of New Orleans ( http://www.amazon.com/Lords-Misrule-Mardi-Politics-Orleans/dp/0878059164 ).
I'm in the same boat. My father's mother speaks Cajun French and English, while her older sister only really speaks Cajun, but my grandmother grew up getting punished for it so her kids weren't taught. My mother's parents didn't teach the kids french so they could speak in secret, more or less. I've been interested in learning, so I picked up Cajun Self-Taught by Rev. Jules O. Daigle from the library, along with the spoken-word audio CD. I had a little Parisian French in school, so the general mechanics of language and pronunciations are more or less there, and the book serves to as a great guide learning.

It is a book of recipes compiled by the junior league of Lafayette.

Movie: In the Electric Mist
Not the greatest movie in the world, but the small town politics, casual depiction of racial divisions, and influence of money really struck me as an honest portrayal of life around here.
Book: All the King's Men, by Robert Penn Warren or if you're more adventurous, the massive Huey Long, by T. Harry Williams
Louisiana's most polarizing son also makes a good lens to study the class and race divisions that exist in the state.
Song: "Louisiana 1927," by Randy Newman or the cover by Aaron Neville and India Arie
It was written in 1974 about a devastating flood in 1927, but it's all too relevant to 2005.

It’s Junior League of Lafayette’s cookbook originally published in the 70s or 80s. It’s basically everybody’s grandma’s best recipes
EDIT: first printed in 1967 now in it’s 30th printing
Gumbo Ya-Ya
Which is a collection of folk tales collected from 1930-1940 for the WPA Writers' Project and thoroughly entertaining. I will throw a caution out for the blatant racism/classism of Louisiana in the 1930's, but it's totally worth it.
I would highly recommend John Folse's The Encyclopedia of Cajun & Creole Cuisine. It's very expensive but it's enormous (850 pages and 700 recipes) and worth every penny because it also includes a lot of history and information on the cajun and creole cultures.
This is the model I have which was recommended to me in r/coffee. I like it. It seems to produce a lot of fines, but they mostly stick to the sides of the canister so they're easy to scoop out. But I can't tell the difference with them included, anyway.
Pick up the book "50 Hikes in Louisiana", it's the bible for LA hikers. It lists all of the trails in LA with detailed maps and descriptions of the trails. Also, join your local hiking club and sign up for group hikes through local outfitters.

Anker 20,000mAh is around ~$35 and only weighs 0.78lbs. Easily can be thrown into your backpack or bag and takes up little space. It's almost 2018, you need to step your tech game up.
