Think of a low scale Perkins Rowe with more of a family feel and that's what the Town Center at…read moreCedar Lodge is in a nutshell. It's nothing short of a manufactured village / neighborhood, geared around plenty of shopping. I guarantee if you're not a woman or a child with no desires other than some milk, you might find the place a tad boring. The folks running the joint love to sell the idea that it's lifestyle shopping, which thankfully also means there is going to be a variable mix of random stores catered to different interests. The setup is remarkably easy and surprisingly peaceful, and quite clean. With respect to the shopping lineup, it's completely clear this place is meant more for the ladies than they are for the guys. There are more than twice as many stores geared toward women (Ann Taylor, J. Jill, Eros, Febe, Lane Bryant etc), than there is for men. Aside from American Eagle Outfitters, Gap, and perhaps Al's Formal Wear, the pickens get pretty slim for my fellow brethren. But fear not, since most guys don't enjoy aimless shopping (keyword: aimless), there is a decent crop of eateries situated here. Carrabba's, Bonefish Grill, Zoe's Kitchen might all passable options, though I encourage most everyone to avoid PF Chang's and Qdoba like the devil, but it beats having nothing else. If you happen to be among the targeted demographic, go crazy here. If not, there is always the Mall of Louisiana (delinquent central) or Perkins Rowe (semi-delinquent central). Just don't let that insane Baton Rouge 9% sales tax catch up to you.

This kind of shopping center is the future. Not the enclosed mall that made it big in the 1980's,…read morebut an open air shopping experience that you can actually park near the store you want to shop at instead of having to park and trek in to the mall, not remembering exactly where the store is that you want to shop at inside of the enclosed mall, trekking thru the mall to find what you are looking for, getting what you need, drag it back to your car and the whole monotony that goes along with that. You get the idea. Any way. This series of mini strip malls has got it all going on. Book store, clothing stores for men, women and children, a variety of chain restaurants, jewelry stores, a drug store, a hotel nearby, multiple entrances and a Whole Foods. The parking spots are plenty as are the sidewalks. It is well lit at night, and nice decorations at the holidays. The landscaping is well maintained and there are no major obstacles. The area seems to be a nice area, though I am not familiar enough with Baton Rouge to really know for sure, but I get the feeling that not much crime occurs in this area.

When first moved here (almost 10 years ago), my husband and I found the right away. Immediately, I…read morefelt at home that there was a Whole Foods in my new city of residence. You bet I was super thankful. So, I am a frequent visitor of this plaza. I have also seen the many changes it has been through in the last 10 years. About 1/2 of the plaza has changed in terms of businesses like restaurants, boutiques and retail shops. There is a lot and it looks fairly upscale. Don't let that deter you from visiting. If you have never been to a Whole Foods, you'll love visiting this plaza. You can pretty much do everything you need to do at that spot. Don't be surprised if you spend the whole day there because you can! Grab breakfast at District Donuts, get some retail therapy at some of the surrounding department stores, get some lunch Five Guys, shop at Whole Foods and sit for a nice dinner at Bonefish Grill and stay for cocktails at their awesome bar! Don't worry Towne Center, I will be back often! In fact, I think I'm there every 2 weeks or more on the usual.

I have a love / hate relationship with most malls out there, and Mall of Louisiana is no different…read more I love that they have several different main retailers anchoring the establishment, and the stores on the inside provide a wide variety of merchandise and services. The outdoor strip is also very nice. Parking is overall pretty safe. I often see security making the rounds, which is nice. And years back when I had a scary experience, a security guard walked me to my car and ensured my safety. There are a lot of older people who feel safe to walk around the mall for exercise which is also very nice. Stores come and go, and the internet has made some in-store shopping a bit less of a value, but i still enjoy visiting. They make it a point to keep it clean in there too. They have a large maintenance staff always walking around to fix things, clean things, and check different areas. The food court is large and the carousel is fun for kids and adults alike.

Hello brother and sisters,…read more Today I just wanted to tell you people out there what disgusting, and horrible behavior these people have at this mall!! The mall was great I came in, the store workers were nice, helpful, and all smiles. Everything there was hung neatly, clean, and good prices. I was having a great time at this mall until I got hungry and decided to get some yummy chick-fil-a to treat my stomach. I walked and got in line with my friend Lauren. We waited a couple minutes until it was our time to order.. As i was ordering my meal I had some struggles getting what i wanted. She then turnt around to the women that was supposed to be cooking, and making orders and started to laugh. As I was waiting on my order to be fixed i stood to the side of the line to wait on Lauren. I noticed that the lady that was supposed to be fixing my order was taking pictures of the sauces! Then she proceeded to walk grab the ice-grabber and get some ice. I thought it was the ice that was going to go in my sprite, but no! She walked up to this lady that was just standing not doing anything and put the ice IN HER PANTS and started to laughI thought that was absolutely disgusting. But then something even more disgusting happened she then took the ice-grabber out of the lady pants and grabbed more ice and put it in my sprite cup. I was disgusted I didn't even want to eat anymore.

I would like to say at the foot locker location that management is poor. Management positions are…read moresupposed to support their team and be a leader with guidance provided. Mike produced poor communication speaking to younger employees like they aren't human. Mike is an older bald headed black unethical "man". He was being demanding that the customer must have a number and email. Mike was being very forceful over a young lady raising his voice to another customer demanding he put his number in. I will not be returning to this location. Until he is not present. I am a very loyal customer. But Mike needs to be checked. This is saddening I have heard things about the "side business" being orchestrated at this location. That there was a lot of sheisty things going on so the location needs to be evaluated regardless before its more than just people quitting.

If you are in the mood to do some shopping, visit the many stores in the plaza. My favorite is Michaels craft store, where there is plenty to meet your crafting needs. Get a bargain at Burlington. Great clothes with a great price. Treat yourself to some new shoes at Shoe Station or Payless shoe store. Hallmark is there to provide you with cards and gifts. If you need a new outfit for a teenager, visit Rainbow. They have very cute clothes! Stock up on beauty products at Sally's! Hammond Aire Plaza has something for everyone!!

I recently told her the…read morename of the store and she finds the prices are overpriced and she mentioned it to Swap over Instagram. Randi responded and suggested my daughter shops at Goodwill and thanks for giving her greatly appreciated and not asked for opinion. Signed Randi :) . This left me with the impression that customer input is not valued and that concerns are met with sarcasm rather than professionalism. As much money I spend there, I felt applaud and very hurt.

I don't even remember what was here before the Acadian Village popped up. You'll find everything here that can be an entire day's plan for you. Start the morning off with a workout at Barre3, then scoot on over to Ruby Slipper for brunch, then shop a little bit at Trader Joe's, once you are tired of shopping, mosey on over La Divina for lunch and a gelato, pop on over to Nadeau for some furniture shopping and end the evening with dinner at Galatoire's. There you have it! A full day's worth of food, fun and shopping. Yup, I bet you are super excited now! I love coming here and enjoy visiting the businesses here that serve our community. Need to charge your vehicle, while you are brunching, lunching or shopping? They have some chargers on the far left side of the plaza, too. You will definitely love your day at Acadian Village. Located on Perkins & Acadian.

This is a great little shopping area nestled right in Mid-City for convenance.
