White Star Market - Government Street

Passed it earlier and it looks like Mayor Broome has her campaign headquarters there because her signs are all over one of the offices.
White Star Market was supposed to be a collection of small businesses, but that doesn't appear to be the case at the moment. Where there aren't Broome signs, there are for lease signs. The juxtaposition of the two is a great illustration of where Baton Rouge is right now.
So is White Star Market already a thing of the past?

I think it's out of business already.
It was a cool concept.
Sad to see it go.

Those dining halls are hit or miss in every city.

JBE killed most of the businesses in there with Covid restrictions.

That’s a travesty IMO... I loved White Star Market, especially the ramen at Chow Yum Phat, and grabbing a brew at the bar there. Great concept. I think Chow Yum Phat is still open in Southdowns, or at least I hope they still are.

You been to chow yum phat yet? We went today first time. Damn it’s good

And as they continue to restrict traffic flow on govt street, others will follow.

Follow the Broome signs, take a right past the JBE signs, and look for the second door to the left for the gulag...

I knew one of the business owners that was in there. The guy who owned White Star was an idiot then corona was the final straw that forced them to close for good. So yeah, thing of the past.

The Broome administration has been nothing short of horrible for small business owners in Baton Rouge. She’s pretty much killed Third Street too.
For the love of God, please vote this woman out of office. Baton Rouge can’t take four more years of her.
