Downtown Fit - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

There s a lot of cool stuff going on in Baton Rouge. From the
redevelopment of neighborhoods downtown and in Mid City to the
young entrepreneurial culture that is fostering startup companies
willing to take risk and take advantage of new technologies. Gerald
Drefahl s company, Kinesics, is a homegrown, biotech start up that
licenses a software program that analyzes the physical mobility of
athletes, workers and other users and then gives predictive
analytics into their health. In other words, the program is
designed to determine whether someone could get injured before it
happens, essentially serving as a risk management product. Dyke
Nelson is the developer and architect of the building where
Kinesics recently opened its corporate offices 440 on Third and, is
currently in the process of developing 1509 Government the long
abandoned former Entergy site on Government Street that, when Dyke
is finished with it, will house apartments, restaurants, retail
tenants and it is hoped be a catalyst for redevelopment in the area
between downtown and mid city known as Downtown East. Stephanie
