  • (2022) Pecanland Mall is a shopping mall in Monroe LA. While it's not a particularly healthy mall, it's one of the better looking places I've seen in my travels.

    It’s malls like this that appear in my vaporwave dreams! I love 80s/90s aesthetics in malls and this one is no exception!! You actually want to hang out in a space like this, listening to the fountains and admiring the plants, letting the sun in the skylights bathe you in light.
    I will never understand why so many people prefer the bland malls of today they have no character or any kind of personality. We need to get to a point where society wants to hang out in spaces this grand again.

    As a local this mall use to be so great. We had umbrellas on the ceiling of the food court with different platforms. You had music stores, book stores, even a two story carousal at one point. Now its just a shell of it self. The movie theater shut down not that long ago. The bookstores and movie/music stores all left. Just sad to see it the way it is now. Also we locals call it pecan as in like pecaun.

      ​​@@JillTouchetI hope so, fingers crossed. Only problem is they've occasionally dumped malls they bought. Hope Spinoso is able to keep Pecanland Mall alive.

    Nothing better than a Doomie mall video on a friday afternoon. Soothing and sad at the same time like most nostalgia. Thanks for your work

    I really like this mall and the stores in it. I would totally want to shop here. Doomie, I also agree with you, I think the mall can use a little more colour. I also like the geometry inside and outside along with the fountain. This is my favourite mall that you covered in the last month.😊💖

    With the demolition of Cortana Mall in 2021, Pecanland Mall is the largest remaining mall in the entire Louisiana, in terms of square footage.

    • @mikemancini313
      @mikemancini313 3 місяці тому +3

      Even larger than the Oakwood Mall, Mall of Louisiana, Lakeside Shopping Center, and Arcadia Mall? I had no idea.

      @@mikemancini313 yep. Pecanland's footprint is over 970K sq ft. The malls that you mentioned are in the 700-800K range. Alexandria's mall has the 2nd largest footprint.

    This mall has a really interesting look. It is like a cross between the former North Shore Square Mall and Alexandria Mall. Now I really need to visit this one. It is about 5 hours away from me.

    • @BoratWanksta

      Was North Shore Square Mall located somewhere north of New Orleans, and north of Lake Pontchartrain? I thought that was in Hammond, LA, but don't remember the exact town that mall was in.
      Also wonder where Alexandria Mall is/was located.

    • @jeee1074
      @jeee1074 3 місяці тому

      @BoratWanksta You are right about North Shore Square. It was roughly halfway between I-10 and Mandeville on the North Shore. Alexandria Mall is in Alexandria Louisiana.

    Unruly disciplined teenagers took over this mall, and management basically stopped enforcing the code of conduct. That, along with the area’s major employer, State Farm, leaving the area 20 years ago, more or less killed this mall. A shame. In the 80s and 90s it was such a special place.
