The early 2000s Poets in BR was owned by Shannon Wilkerson as well. The BR location wasn’t open long at all


Where was this located?

The first Baton Rouge Poets (mid 1980's) was located in Village Square shopping center, about where the canned goods section of the College Drive Walmart is now. The original Great Wall (Chinese restaurant) was about where the milk section is.

Poets moved from their original location to the approximate location of Hayride Scandal by College and Corporate by the early 1990's

Mansur's moved into the old location where Poets was at Village Square and remained there until Walmart bought the shopping center and had it leveled. Mansur's then moved to Corporate Boulevard and became Mansur's on the Boulevard. The Great Wall moved into the building up in the corner of the Walmart parking lot where Juicy Seafood is now.
