Article evaluation
The Gert Town article has to be developed more as far as details on the neighborhood. The contents of the article aren't explained enough for the article to be informational. The talk page on the article has one comment which discusses the poor quality of the Wikipedia article. 504babyshay (talk) 19:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

The Blue Plate Mayonnaise Factory, which closed down following Hurricane Katrina, is now known as the Blue Plate Artist Lofts. Blue Plate was one of the primary mayonnaise manufacturers in the country. The creation of Blue Plate mayonnaise was influenced by Amelia Schlorer because Schlorer created her own mayonnaise recipe under a company named Schlorer Delicatessen Company. The success of her mayonnaise motivated the Wesson-Snowdrift Company to produce Blue Plate mayonnaise. The mayonnaise was originally produced in the city of Gretna until they moved the location to 1315 S Jefferson Davis Parkway in the small Gert Town neighborhod in 1941. Some people believe that the production of the mayonnaise came to a halt because of Katrina, but the factory stopped producing Blue Plate mayonnaise in 2000. Reily Foods Co. who was in partnership with Blue Plate found a more up to date factory in Tennessee which is why they stopped production in New Orleans. Although the building suffered some damage in the hurricane, and was shutdown, its historic architecture has been replenished. Years after Katrina, the Blue Plate building was transformed into an artist apartment complex. The historical and cultural impact that the Blue Plate Factory has left on New Orleans is much deeper than the surface. The original structure of the building still stands so that everyone can be reminded of the influential impact that the Blue Plate factory left on the city. The once New Orleans' made gourmet condiment is now sold in Walmart and enjoyed by people all over the United States.
