Deano's and Pizza Village dominate the pizza market in Lafayette
But the coonasses love their Deano's. They can have it.

I remember toys by Roy which was by the main entrance I believe.
No it was by the entrance closest to Macy's (where TGIF's was). I know b/c I had to go w/ my mom to look for a glowworm for my little brother for Christmas one year

I believe. KB was by the puppet show I think.
It was b/t the center court and puppet show, think it was near a Foot Action if I can recall ?

There was no cheap jewelry kiosk, that I know.
No all that junk came later.

There was also a toy store called its a small word, I think.
That does ring a bell but I was a little older and didn't pay attention to it.
We always hit up Morrison's, until it went to an all you can eat and went to shite.
How about the restaurant on the 3rd floor of DH Holmes, ate there a few times with the family. Don't remember it being anything special other than being on the 3rd floor of the 'finest store' in the mall.

There was a knife store where I bought ninja stars. That store was great but I don't remember the name ?
Guess it was too easy to remember.

Sears use to be GameStop before GameStop. Would play video games as a kid in the store. Good ole days.

There was a record store across from Aladdin's Castle. I don't remember the name.

The reason I still hate 'jeans' from 40 + years ago. Sumbtiches were actually tough though, you couldn't tear these damn things. They felt like you were wearing some drapes around you, damn I hated those things.
The Sears football jerseys were great though;

It renamed to Sam Goody but I think it opened as Record Bar? I'm sure someone else will remember.

Music land maybe? There is still a music store there.

I believe the only place that's still where it was when the mall first opened is the ISIS jewelry store. And for now, Sears.
I just noticed the giant Victoria's secret that recently opened. I think that place will do well and I don't think the mall as a whole is going anywhere. It might be trashier, but trashy people still spend money.
Funny thing, my dad was involved in the original land deal when the mall was first built. At the time, no one wanted or cared about the land that surrounds the mall. Now, it's worth far more than the mall property itself.

Before that one the record store was close to where the cookie shop is. I bought many albums and single cassettes from that place. Music Land does sound familiar and the sign / emblem was black and red, I think you're correct.

Hopefully they have some good sales coming up on tools
If it's anything like when they closed the Houma Sears, they ship anything good ahead of time to stores still open, then mark up the rest 50% then apply a 25% discount.

You're God damn right they do
2 Deanos and 2 Pizza Village locations are hard for the chains to compete with

Alesi's
Good shite as well. All 3 of these places are very different

New York style pizza
Bread and Circus has the best NYC style pizza in Lafayette. By far

Before the mall was there, a small convent of nuns was located on that property. Ask your dad if he recalls that.

Part of it was a dairy farm too

DH Holmes would make an elaborate winter wonderland of sorts on the third floor every Christmas time. My mom liked to bring us to see that........and get some chocolate that was sold up there.

Easy to believe that, considering how prevalent they were at the time

I don't like alesi's pizza. It is too greasy for me. Deano's is okay, but pizza village is Gawbage. I prefer to cook my own.
