"I saw you at the Lakeside Mall again . . ." (1 Viewer)

What was that 80s candle shop there? Was before trendy stuff like Illuminations came along. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Yankee Candle, but I can't think of the chain name.

Wicks-n-Sticks?

 

[Galbreath34]

That's it. Sandalwood and others to cover afterschool activity scents

Not many from Algiers would ask their mom to drop em at Belle Promenade.

Unless you were meeting up with a Marrero girl....and didnt want to be seen by friends LOLOL.

I grew up in Algiers and, at one time, Bell Promenade was the "nicer" of the WB malls. They had their movie theatre inside the mall, with that big arcade next to it, and that new Chick-Fil-A place in the food court giving out free nugget samples. Then Oakwood did some remodeling while BP went downhill.

My mom has never, and likely will never, drive over that bridge, so getting to go to Lakeside was a pretty rare treat.

Got my first pair of parachute pants at The Merry-Go-Round.I used to rock those bad boys with a sleeveless Panama Jack shirt...Man, I sure do miss 1984!
BTW, great song!

Don't forget Country Fair.

And, my favorite part about Lakeside (back in the day) was all the arcade games scattered throughout the mall before they put them in that central location.

Halsey Ave off Wall Blvd, which I remember being built.

Spent a lot of time at Village Aurora. My dad took me to that theatre to see Raiders, Ghostbusters, Jedi, etc, and I still miss the French bread from National.

We were practically neighbors.

Forgot about Godfather's. We used to go there a lot. Also, I seem to remember a Half decent steak place in the shopping center not long before it was torn down.

Wow. How could I forget it was Aurora Steak House? Oh yeah, I've killed too many brain cells.

Also, totally remember the Chippy's. And there was Monkey Hill at the end of Halsey, by the canal across from Morgan Stables.

Really glad the Aurora Village area has revitalized a bit. Was there during Christmas.
