Three Sisters ladies' shoppe

I'm told by fellow urban explorer Josh that Three Sisters used to be a ladies' department store. I was intrigued, but when I looked up the phrases "Three Sisters," "department store," and "Baton Rouge," on Google, all that came up was obituaries. Apparently a popular job for Southern ladies who died recently was working in department stores. Also, a lot of them had three sisters.

If only they'd left the mannequins.

The expansive front display zone was climate controlled.

And this guy had an expansive open-air bicycle sound system.

This will be developed into something soon.
It's one of the last untouched properties on Third Street, which is on fire with renovations.

Oooh.

That looks like the old Neusteter's store here in Denver with those display zones.

It got turned in to a Eddie Bauer then a Rite Aid.

Maybe the three sisters ran off with the three brothers pizza guys from the NJ Shore?

About a year ago a bid was put in on the Commerce Building, but the person was more than a little shady. Initially, he used an alias, later, there were questions about mob connections, etc. etc.

Sigh. The ground floor certainly is interesting enough, and in the recent past has hosted both "Virtual Museum" exhibits as well as, a while back, at least one vintage automobile (I don't know if that was part of the Virtual Museum or not).

I just wish someone would repaint the facade--that color is really hideous.

The decor doesn't exactly scream "women's clothing." I don't know what was in here last. Someone mentioned something about motorcycles, but vintage cars would make sense, too.
