I laughed because I was a broke 19-year-old college student living not far from here in a one-bedroom apartment on the reservoir. Would I say it was fancy back then? Yes, in a good kind of way. Back then, just like now, no one made you feel unwelcome. But what I love about this place is the selection of stores. The stores back then and some now were uniquely owned. Therefore, you bought items that you didn't see a zillion people wearing. My favorite store has always been Maison Weiss; it's still here. I remember wanting a 200 dollar belt. I saved my little coins and got it, and added a bracelet. But I also loved and still love the restaurants and the open courtyards. I see they have added Whole Foods, LuluLemon, Free People, a Wine Bar, and some more stores, like Kendra Scott. I can say this place still holds its charm, and probably will forever. I know for me it will always have a place in my heart.

There's a nice selection of stores, restaurants and a beautiful courtyard with plenty of seating in the center. Parking is plenty as well. Overall, it just seems like a nice area to spend an evening unwinding after work.

On a Wednesday morning, it was not too packed. The Explore Ridgeland had a lot of information about the area, things to do. Very friendly people working who were more than happy to sit and chat. I would recommend this to anyone. There is a bit of everything here. Groceries, clothing, accessories, books. Getting a lot done in one area is convenient.

Dogwood Festival is an outdoor shopping "mall" that you'll find on both the north and south sides…read moreof Lakeland Drive in Flowood. It's a very nice area that is kept clean and well-maintained. Parking can very often be a pain, especially on the weekends and, of course, during the Holidays; then again, what mall doesn't have that problem?! The other downside is you have to walk outside while going from store to store. It gets really hot in Mississippi during the summer, so walking around outside while shopping isn't ideal. On the north side of Lakeland Drive you'll find several of your larger stores like Best Buy, PetSmart, Target, and Stein Mart. On the south side you'll find Belk in the center of all the smaller shops such as American Eagle, Victoria's Secret, Lane Bryant, Bath & Body Works, etc. You'll pretty much find all the shops here you'd expect to find at any indoor mall. There are also many restaurants (including fast food places) on both sides. Some examples are Logans, Cheddars, El Potrillo, Backyard Burger, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Dickey's BBQ, and many others. I'd like to add on a more personal note that it's very interesting to see how Dogwood and Flowood really "exploded." I grew up in Pearl and I remember when there was nothing here but trees. My junior year of high school I drove from Pearl to Northwest Rankin HS every day and I'd have to drive Lakeland back and forth. There was just nothing there. Even when I moved to Florida in the 90s, there was still nothing there. Imagine my surprise when I returned to MS to visit one day and all this had popped up. I had my mouth hanging open going, "Wowwwwww!" Pretty cool! Anyway... enough of my reminiscing. This is a really nice place to shop, and if you've never been here, you're going to find so very much more than what I was able to mention.
