I hope the mall survives but it sounds like the Macy's closing has caused a lot of retailers to pull out. I have a few items from the frame shop, Macy's, and Target that I bought over the last few years when I took my blog photos. At least they can make some money by filming movies and TV shows there. jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-78963467827562309782017-12-29T20:51:17.396-06:002017-12-29T20:51:17.396-06:00Also, not sure what year some of these were in but...Also, not sure what year some of these were in but...

And the frame store that has been there for 30 plus years is also closing. Macys closed earlier this year along with Rue 21.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141030748550198517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-49758754936248329912012-03-02T13:29:04.768-06:002012-03-02T13:29:04.768-06:00I was there in January and I will have an updated ...I was there in January and I will have an updated post soon. I was surprised to see Dillards closed the mens store and turned the former womens store into a clearance store. The clearance store Dillards also closed off the second floor which means only the Macys anchor has a second floor entrance. Most of the vacancies are towards the Dillards clearance store or on the second floor.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-10424604818763186122012-03-02T09:14:04.785-06:002012-03-02T09:14:04.785-06:00There are 17 vacancies in the mall currently.

It now appears mostly built. The movie theater, a 14-screen stadium, is due to start construction in the coming months and open around March or April of 2012. The other anchor store is waiting for Target to open and the movie theater to begin construction, then planning to begin construction itself. After the Esplanade Mall's downfall, it appears it may actually once again take over as one of the best malls in the area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-23369553031723544692009-05-14T01:57:00.000-05:002009-05-14T01:57:00.000-05:00Kenner has been going downhill for years.

My apartment was robbed and my truck was damaged by an arson fire that spread from the next door neighbors house. There were two murders in one month close to my house there. When I lived by the lake off of Williams blvd. there was a shooting in my apartment complex. Metairie, Jefferson, and River Ridge seem to be the only places that do not have severe crime problems on the East bank. I still love my hometown, but there is too much crime.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-87902730631554222052009-05-13T17:13:00.000-05:002009-05-13T17:13:00.000-05:00I was just in that mall yesterday and it's looking...I was just in that mall yesterday and it's looking pretty awful. Sanrio closed, and there are many, many vacant spots. What used to be Express is some indoor play place. It used to be so nice but it's quickly going the way of The Plaza in New Orleans East.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-70658411558934505692009-04-26T23:46:00.000-05:002009-04-26T23:46:00.000-05:00I have not been to this mall since the Macy's reop...I have not been to this mall since the Macy's reopened, so the Macy's facade might have been stripped down. Here in Houston the Macy's by us was stripped down to the shell and rebuilt because of Hurricane Ike damage.jehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642257521152353045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028753244746628643.post-25292262450073541512009-04-26T22:17:00.000-05:002009-04-26T22:17:00.000-05:00Sweet!
