re: Mall of Louisiana's future

All malls will collapse and fail. It's over, as they are known now.
Don't travel much do you? There are plenty of successful (and safe) malls that have strong retail performance with a good mix of RD&E. Successful malls are becoming town centers with Fitness + Residential + Hotel + RD&E.
They all have the following in common.
Strong visible security presence
Excellent lighting
High-quality tenants
Parking lot management

re: Jeff Landry is my governor

Not a big fan of Landry
What seems to be forgotten is that Jeff Landry was Attorney General for 8 years. Landry was successful at one thing, Political advancement, that's it.
There was no public corruption reform during his tenure.
There is no clear evidence Louisiana saw sustained statewide crime reductions attributed to the AG office during his tenure.
There was no insurance fraud crackdowns.
Coastal/environmental settlement enforcement (well, its obvious Landry's position here).
Yelling into a microphone at a press conference is not actionable.
Louisiana needs a viable candidate for Governor in 2027.
There appears to be a recurring pattern at Brookfield-managed properties.
The Mall in Columbia - has had multiple high-profile violent incidents over the years, including a 2024 fatal shooting and the well-known 2014 attack. Brookfield was identified as manager in recent coverage.
Westroads Mall Deadly 2021 shooting and prior security concerns. Brookfield was cited as parent company in local reporting.
Brass Mill Center 2025 shooting that injured five people; local officials publicly addressed safety concerns afterward.
Mayfair Mall High-profile 2020 shooting that injured eight people.
If the MoL wants to be considered a Class 'A' property, then Increased law enforcement presence and enhanced security measures would hopefully serve as a stronger deterrent. Unfortunately, BR cannot get away from the surrounding demographics, it will always be a challenge.

A ghost town? Not a chance, Vegas will adapt and figure ways to make $.
We make a trip to LV once every few years and only go if we're using airline miles and hotel points, plus neither of us gamble. There are so many better places to travel and take a vacation than LV.
The one and only.

I asked my realtor to check into it and I got a text back that the wall is built great and no worries.
That’s not going to cut it if you’re intending to file suit. Retaining walls most likely wouldn’t be covered under a home warranty either.
Most retaining walls are cosmetic, not structural.

We didn't let shite. Landry & LDWF is solely to blame for allowing the Menhaden industry to continue to operate unobstructed in Louisiana.
For those who asked for a list of which Representative voted NAY against HB 855 and Absentee list. Take the time to email these folks and let them know how disappointed you are in their vote.

Cool, we'll make sure Landry doesn't get votes during the next election. Much less every representative who voted against HB 855.
This issue isn't going away this time.

We're not forgetting this time. Every single Representative that voted against this bill should be put on notice. Fall of 2027 isn't too far away.

Huge fricking disappointment that HB 855 didn't pass. Even if it did, it would certainly not been signed by Landry (POS).
I emailed the two representatives in my parish who voted against the bill - doubtful I'll get a response.
Everyone needs to keep top of mind who voted against Louisiana sportsman in 2027.

It's a huge inconvenience, but I will go to their office in BR and update my boat registration in person. It beats having to explain to the LDWF agent it's their fault for me not having received my renewed documents.

Done, hoping for a good outcome.

Likewise - pine straw is terrible. We just had 150 bags of pine bark spread, looks great. Landscaper was doing another job for us and only charged for materials, no labor. He’ll get my business every time.
