The Esplanade Mall. WTF happened?

Same thing that happened to cortana.

I haven't been in years. A few months ago, my friend's fiance told me that she heard gunshots when she was leaving. Scary shite.

Malls are dead, sir. The internet has vanquished areas with multiple malls leaving one survivor, unless you're in Slidell where the internet has yet to be discovered. Northshore Square still rockin.

Too many white people.

One of my wife's friends used to work in Dillard's before it became a clearance store.
She said it was horrible.


Someone shite themselves in the store and put their soiled pants folded on a shelf. Some poor lady straightening up the clothes stumbled upon them.

Lakeside is no where near dead and dominates this market.

The Esplanade is in Kenner. It is just a reflection of Kenner in general.

Don't go there after dark.

Esplanade used to be really nice even up to a decade ago...

When I was growing up in the 90's the Esplanade put Lakeside to shame. Now it is Vice Versa. I think there may be 10 stores(if that) in the entire building.

Look at the demographics in Kenner now, though. Mexicans, poor african americans/caucasians are the majority. Take a stroll down Williams Blvd. and all you see are hispanic joints, loan shark establishments, and used car lots.

Lakeside mall happened and all the other shite got developed leading to it. Why would people from wealthy areas pass boatloads of stores to drive to Kenner and shop?
