IBM isn't cool per se, but new business (especially business with recognizable names) in Baton Rouge is a good thing, especially when they agree to develop property. The difference between Atlanta and Baton Rouge (at least as far as this conversation is concerned) is: choice. I could leave the job I'm at tomorrow and immediately go somewhere else in a place like Atlanta. I can't return to Louisiana until I have options, so I think this is great news.
