They keep adding stores. Amazing they have been able to thrive in the current landscape for brick and mortar retail

I think it’s the busiest mall in the country per capita

Malls are starting to make a bit of a comeback in some places

If they’d put a good sports bar in there right in the middle of the guys to hang out, they’d make a trillion dollars a year. Maybe more.

Maybe you are not ancient like me.. but im old enough to remember when Morten Andersen had exactly what you describe, a sports bar with giant goal posts right in the middle of Lakeside Mall.. the name might have been the Goalpost, or the Endzone, cant remember exactly but someone here will for sure know.. i feel like it was there for quite some time , not sure why it ultimately folded though .. maybe when he went to ATL ?

Lakeside still feels like a mall, especially around the holidays.

It's just about the only game on town now, and no one wants to shop Downtown.

I’m no spring chicken, remember Morten and was sometimes in the mall then but not often and don’t remember that.
Of course, back then, single no kids I probably wasn’t thinking in those terms then.
Now? Gimme a show and some drinks and take as long as you need shopping and shite.

I’m a big fan of Lakeside Mall. Super convenient location. Easy parking. Good stores. Relatively safe during non-peak hours.

I think that was called “Champion’s”

I went to Lakeside a couple of weeks before Christmas. Seemed like old times.

It’s a great mall. Whoever runs it never got lazy and tried to let it run itself. And the original developers couldn’t have selected a better location.

Lakeside and that mall in Tysons, Va are always packed.
It’s wild

That is because it is the only real mall in the entire New Orleans area.

Yes but this proves the point of the thread .
There was a time, not so long ago in the grand scheme- when there were a handful of “real” malls throughout the NOLA metro.. i was a kid when two malls opened at right around the same time- the Riverwalk in NOLA proper, and the Esplanade in Kenna.. back then, circa 40 yrs ago, most people’s money would have for sure been on one of those two to outlive and outlast the dinosaur Lakeside Mall.. well maybe not Riverwalk due to proximity and parking issues, but for sure the Esplanade.. going back even further, my family lived for a time in the East, where at one time the Lake Forest Plaza was the grandest, largest mall in the American South…. Also i heard tales of a mall on the Westbank (where we never ventured) called Belle Promenade.. throw in Clearview , and Northshore in Slidell and one or two others im forgetting, and it is kind of a minor miracle that Lakeside is for all intents the only survivor.. as others have mentioned , it’s location has to be at least 75% of the reason .

ETA: wasn't Morten's place called Champions?

West Bank had Belle Promenade and Oakwood. Was a big decision which mall to go to. Belle Promenade had the better movie theater but Oakwood won that battle, but it’s now on its last legs.

And there was a D.H. Holmes in all of those (except Riverwalk).
