What abandoned buildings in Baton Rouge should be torn down?

Broadmore Theater and that flea market next to it.

Starring Motel. Don't care if it's abandoned or not. Until that building drops to the ground, I won't vote for St George.

I thought they had remodeled the shopping center where the Broadmoor theater was...I remember a local AG grocer, a big chain pharmacy, and a 24 hour gym were considering that site.

It had decent traffic counts if I remember but the calculations were weird because of those stupid service roads. Older parts of Broadmoor had higher incomes and very promising demographics, but north of Florida had some iffy stats at the time (2010).

I wasn't sure it would be a good site for anything but a local grocery, ACE hardware, bank, gym, and a general store. Definitely not a regional center like a theater or super center. I think the developer thought the shopping center in the back was more visible than it really was.

I'd like to see something like a Hi Neighbor or Reeve's replace the old theater, but there is pretty stiff competition in that area as far as grocers go.

Damn that was a dump 20 years ago. I am glad I am never in that part of town.
