    This commercial is really cool.. The song is incredibly catchy and well arranged,listen to the guitar,strings and background vocals during the break between lyrics! Things were so much different then. Reminds me of the old days when Rockford Files was still on the air!

    I remember this commercial! My family (Dad, mom, me and my baby sister) lived in Baton Rouge from early 76 when I was five to late 78 when I was seven years old and I absolutely loved it there! Went to La Belle Aire elementary school.

      Really cool piece of BR nostalgia... I was born in BR(1968) and left La Belle Aire in Jan 78. Awesome to see the old BR is still around

    I remember that old sign when I was younger, it's too bad that the mall of nostalgia is no more, Now it is Bon Carre Technology Park and home to the former Baton Rouge Cablevision now Cox Communications I miss things about the past and some I don't miss...at least the Baton Rouge Theater is still there!

    That theatre was the best... it could have been in any period movie it was so 80’s.... to this day I’ve never seen another theatre that was split by the main walk of the mall!!

    I grew up near City Park. My mom really didn't like having to drive me "all the way out there" to Bon Marche.

    I miss the Bon Marche twin Theatre. I remember seeing the Empire strikes back there. By chance have you found any photos of that theater anywhere? There are literally none on the Internet and I would love to see that theater again.

    I remember this commercial. Who else had many happy times in that mall? Cortana never quite had the same effect. Does anyone remember Corporate Mall? It was downright depressing to walk in the mall after so many businesses closed. I still think there could have been a way to perk it back up. The Mall of Louisiana has too much traffic. I wish that Hammond Square had stayed an enclosed mall.

      I loved this mall. I too never really cared as much for Cortana mall. It felt too big and corporate.

    About the only mall I know that keeps on rocking is Lakeside in Metairie. Many others have gone defunct and it is still packed.
