Back From the Brink of Closure, St. Roch Market Is Again Full of Food Vendors | Eater New Orleans
"A project taking shape along Claiborne Avenue aims to recreate space for the corridor’s once-thriving food vendor ecosystem: the first phase of Backatown Plaza at the underpass between the Lafitte Greenway and Orleans Avenue is slated to host at least 30 vendors, a stage, rain gardens, and other green infrastructure designed to support a planned weekly market. Led by the Ujamaa Economic Development Corporation, the development hopes for a late-November soft opening, though its final form remains to be seen." - Clair Lorell
