And how do they not get raided and shut down? Most, if not all, of the jerseys they sell are counterfeit.

Extreme northern climates might be the asterisk. Those people have nothing to do during the winter but go to the mall or go bowling.



Yeah you're right. And maybe it's odd but I do want to recapture that sort of life for my kids.

I went shopping there a few months ago, got some great specials at Macy's.


Gotta watch Macy’s, those sneaky bastards. They make up some insane “regular” price that’s jacked up 100-150%, then they put an incredible 70%!! sale tag on that.

Lakeside might be the best located mall in the country. I-10 at Causeway.

Has a lot to do with it's resilience.

You went at the right timing. School is getting ready to kick off and a lot of parents are out shopping but that place is dying fast.

On another note, it wasn't as depressing as a lot of people on here made it sound



Do you really assume everything is the way the OT makes it seem?

All it takes for one bad thing to happen and the OT will tell you its the worst place ever.

the Mall of Louisiana isn't even close to Cortana level yet.

they all sell the same Nike and Jordan shoes, shirts, and athletic apparel.


Hmm

Just wait until all the independent jewelry shops open up.

Cortana was the shite, met Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer there circa 98


They made an appearance at a sporting goods store, right?
I remember hauling arse over to Cortana after school and they had left. Maybe left early because I also remember a bunch of disappointed people.

So in other words Cortana is coming back except you can’t physically shop there but someone will deliver it to your house with the Amazon distribution center going up there.

I too went to the Mall for the first time in a while.

I think they should open a Jenny Craig store.

Chris Rock said it best, he said "you got two kinds of malls. You got the white mall, and you got the mall white people used to go to, and there aint no in between". "And there are only two things you can get at black mall, thats baby clothes and sneakers cause all dey think we be doin is runnin and fkin."

I have always thought that this was one of his most hilarious skits because its BR to the T. From malls to movie theaters to shopping centers, whenever a new one pops up, the old one closes.

BR only having one mall just doesn't work. Cortana did well because we still had the Bon Marche Mall, when it closed Cortana went into decline. When the mall of LA opened up, it was only a matter of time before Cortna would fall. When Cortna fell, the Mall of LA started its rapid decline. The only thing keeping it alive is the fact that BR doesn't have a "new mall".

I think the solution is to build a new mall catered for urban culture where you can do you. Loitering and street races at night, weed smoking would be legal, no concealed carry permits required, and night clubs hosting the next up and coming rap artist. Will it be safe? Hell no. Will people die? Absolutely. But that is the culture they want so stop fighting it and provide an environment for them to live they way they want to live so that the other cultures who don't want to live this way can have their space back.

Sometimes cheaper, and I don’t have to encounter vibrant youth taking pictures with Santa holding wads of cash and illegal handguns.

Would watch those boosie videos, him rolling up to Cortana strapped.

Overall it's a bigger mess now than Cortana was at this point in its lifespan. BR is a very different place now- all of it.
