    Ugh. First of all, has anyone ever given a mall a gleaming review? "I love fighting wayward teens with nothing better to do than wander around a mall on a Wednesday afternoon and angry moms wrangling their screaming brood in order to buy an overpriced pair of Nikes." These are the same folks who obviously haven't heard of the new fangled thing called the internet and zappos. But I digress. Yes, every now and then I find myself with the need to go to the mall. First of all, Oakwood was once pretty good. It had some nice restaurants and great stores and kiosks. Those days are gone. The stores in this mall are "low budge". What I mean by that is; little rinky dink no name shoe stores, a weird purse store full of cheap trash (go to Dillard's and get something good), pathetic kiosks dedicated to wigs, "blinged" out chains, cell phone covers and lash (yes, eyelash) decorations. Oh, and I almost forgot the tooth whitening station and massage "nook", because if I want white teeth and a rub down, I head to Oakwood. Look, I grew up on Oakwood. I loved what it was before the storm. Sure, it was a little "Westbank", but I was a teenager and didn't know any better. And the Neon Pretzel that they used to have was the BOMB! I will say this...the saving graces of this mall are the Victoria's Secret (I think I'm gonna review that place separately because I can't make it from entrance to register without being asked if I wear the right size bra at least once), the Cafe du Monde (because I loves my frozen Cafe au Lait), and the Bath and Body works. All the rest of the stores are geared towards younguns (Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, etc.). If you MUST go to a mall, go to Lakeside...but have fun parking! You know what? Don't even go there. Just shop online. Seriously. Ebay it. Gently used is better than "mallin" it.

    This mall was once neck and neck with Lakeside, but that thing in 2005 put them into a downward spiral.

There really is a great selection of stores to choose from in the shopping mall. Situated right on the Mississippi river, at the end of Canal Street, this shopping mall is really easy to find. Once inside, the main thing you're gonna enjoy is being removed from the climate. Whether it's scorching hot outside, a day of full on humidity, or lost in rainy weather, you're gonna be out of the elements if you come shopping at this mall. That, in of itself, is a great feature of this New Orleans shopping establishment. You can pretty much find anything you need here. So, whatever clothing line, whatever type of clothing, whatever anything else you may need, you're probably gonna find it here. Great place to shop.

I like to shop stores like Johnston and Murphy, Tommy Bahamas, and explore Nordstrom Rack for deals. Parking is plenty and discounted, so don't forget to validate your parking ticket. There is a Cafe du Monde but there is usually a line so be patient. There is a somewhat hidden entrance in the Outlets that gets you to the neighboring Hilton without stepping outdoors which is convenient if you are staying there. The reason for 3 stars is that stores will randomly close leaving the mall seem empty. Some of the stores will solicit you to come get free samples of whatever they selling which could be annoying.

There are 6 or so…read moremain big box stores here, but parking can be tight, and people don't seem to know how to drive in parking lots down here (generally speaking). It is pretty straight forward, but the general population likes to make things difficult. This is fairly new (within the last 5 years or so), and is a better use of the area than what was here before. It is so easy to park, as all of the stores are within a short walking distance. I would suggest shopping here during the week as the weekends can be hectic, as well as the major holiday shopping times (or back to school times). The stores in this strip mall are major national chains, but just not easily accessible for driving or finding a parking spot. Go to the suburbs where the parking lots are larger.

    So this is your basic strip mall of big box stores: TJ Maxx, Petsmart, Utla, Michael's, etc... BUT…read moreit is in Orleans Parish and about 5 minutes from my house. Yay for keeping tax dollars in the city. The shops were all clean and the parking lot was a little bit tight on the grand opening weekend of deals. There was a fair amount of security presence which was mostly reassuring. The staffing was high in the shops I went into as the store management anticipated the hordes of shoppers. It's a little confusing since there is a short bit of 6th street that looks like it might access the parking lot but it doesn't. You need to access at either Washington or Louisiana/Toledano Ave. Next time I'll stop by after work to avoid the Saturday crush.
