Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a while. Wonder how Zork has held up after all these years?

Duff's smorgasborg eatery? Food circulated on a continually running conveyor loop. You self served like a feeding trough.

Very old school very cool. I remember one at Hammond Square. Did Cortana have one?

Many early mornings spent waiting outside of Maison Blanche waiting for the ticket office to open to get concert tickets.


Same. Along with literally camping out at the PMAC for concert tickets. While I appreciate the ease of being able to purchase tickets on my phone from literally anywhere I am, I do miss the days of having to plan and sacrifice time and effort to get good seats. And actually being able to get the good seats as a regular joe.

Bon Marche was a bit before my time. No one went there when I was a kid.

I spent hours in that baseball card shop across from McDonald's when I was a kid.

I forgot about camping outside of Cortana mall for Ticketmaster tickets. It was a different time/different BR for sure.

Man, this just triggered a memory. I hadn’t thought about this place in probably 25 years.

My fave memories are from the Bennigans that used to sit in front of Cortana.

best example I could find

If you were thin the red scrunchy belt part could be worn as a mini skirt.

Don’t know anything about women’s fashion from any time period. As a 6’ 210# size 48 coat wearing 17/18 year old, I don’t think I could have pulled off the skirt. If I did try, my friends would have beat me down. Although, the ladies on campus gave me rave reviews for my bloomer bowl outfit.

Cortana was the only place you could get Chic Fil-a in Baton Rouge for a long time

Used to get that and an Orange Julius as often as my mom would let me
