This is a cute plaza of retail & service shops and restaurants. Boy do they truly try to make it a…read moreone-stop-shop kind of plaza. It's quaint, simple and easy to get around. You can literally park your car, get on foot and make your way around Bocage Village within minutes. Don't do that though! Stop and experience the goodness; there is so much offered here. Start your day off at breakfast or brunch at La Madeleine, get a massage at Dr. Vick's LA Medical Spa, jewelry shop at Classic Jewelers, break for lunch - grab a burger from Dearman's or a steak salad from Portobellos, browse the stationary shop Paper N Things, clothing shop at Bella Bella, relax for dinner at Beausoleil and finally pick-up some groceries at Calvin's Bocage Market. Wow, thought you had to spend the whole day driving in your car just to hit up these same type of places? Nope, you can do that all here! The best part is the whole time you did all this, you were supporting local business, too! Don't you feel great? Oh yeah, tell your friends, now! #supportbrlalocal

Think of a low scale Perkins Rowe with more of a family feel and that's what the Town Center at…read moreCedar Lodge is in a nutshell. It's nothing short of a manufactured village / neighborhood, geared around plenty of shopping. I guarantee if you're not a woman or a child with no desires other than some milk, you might find the place a tad boring. The folks running the joint love to sell the idea that it's lifestyle shopping, which thankfully also means there is going to be a variable mix of random stores catered to different interests. The setup is remarkably easy and surprisingly peaceful, and quite clean. With respect to the shopping lineup, it's completely clear this place is meant more for the ladies than they are for the guys. There are more than twice as many stores geared toward women (Ann Taylor, J. Jill, Eros, Febe, Lane Bryant etc), than there is for men. Aside from American Eagle Outfitters, Gap, and perhaps Al's Formal Wear, the pickens get pretty slim for my fellow brethren. But fear not, since most guys don't enjoy aimless shopping (keyword: aimless), there is a decent crop of eateries situated here. Carrabba's, Bonefish Grill, Zoe's Kitchen might all passable options, though I encourage most everyone to avoid PF Chang's and Qdoba like the devil, but it beats having nothing else. If you happen to be among the targeted demographic, go crazy here. If not, there is always the Mall of Louisiana (delinquent central) or Perkins Rowe (semi-delinquent central). Just don't let that insane Baton Rouge 9% sales tax catch up to you.

This kind of shopping center is the future. Not the enclosed mall that made it big in the 1980's,…read morebut an open air shopping experience that you can actually park near the store you want to shop at instead of having to park and trek in to the mall, not remembering exactly where the store is that you want to shop at inside of the enclosed mall, trekking thru the mall to find what you are looking for, getting what you need, drag it back to your car and the whole monotony that goes along with that. You get the idea. Any way. This series of mini strip malls has got it all going on. Book store, clothing stores for men, women and children, a variety of chain restaurants, jewelry stores, a drug store, a hotel nearby, multiple entrances and a Whole Foods. The parking spots are plenty as are the sidewalks. It is well lit at night, and nice decorations at the holidays. The landscaping is well maintained and there are no major obstacles. The area seems to be a nice area, though I am not familiar enough with Baton Rouge to really know for sure, but I get the feeling that not much crime occurs in this area.

This is a good shopping center. It has Mary Lee Donuts in it, so that's a plus right there! Who can…read moreresist that. Rouses supermarket is the main attraction in the shopping center. I do a lot of shopping here. The family dollar is next to Rouses. There is a Chase Bank, with an ATM outside. Drusilla Imports has many cool things inside their store for the home. Drusilla seafood is good place to stop in for lunch or dinner. The party store is there for all your party needs. Brewbachers has been there a long time and the china wok. Of course they have Canes chicken there as well!

I would like to say at the foot locker location that management is poor. Management positions are…read moresupposed to support their team and be a leader with guidance provided. Mike produced poor communication speaking to younger employees like they aren't human. Mike is an older bald headed black unethical "man". He was being demanding that the customer must have a number and email. Mike was being very forceful over a young lady raising his voice to another customer demanding he put his number in. I will not be returning to this location. Until he is not present. I am a very loyal customer. But Mike needs to be checked. This is saddening I have heard things about the "side business" being orchestrated at this location. That there was a lot of sheisty things going on so the location needs to be evaluated regardless before its more than just people quitting.

If you are in the mood to do some shopping, visit the many stores in the plaza. My favorite is Michaels craft store, where there is plenty to meet your crafting needs. Get a bargain at Burlington. Great clothes with a great price. Treat yourself to some new shoes at Shoe Station or Payless shoe store. Hallmark is there to provide you with cards and gifts. If you need a new outfit for a teenager, visit Rainbow. They have very cute clothes! Stock up on beauty products at Sally's! Hammond Aire Plaza has something for everyone!!

This is a pretty standard strip mall and I was here for the fabulous Light House Coffee where I spent a good morning of my morning as my "first office." The shopping center is clean and in good condition with two exits onto the road. There is no traffic light and morning commuter traffic is busy. Parking was easy and the shopping center does have lighting if you're here at night. [Review 904 of 2024 - 88 in Louisiana - 21933 overall]

It had the usual assortment of stores that you would expect from a Tanger Outlets. The property was well-maintained and the place had a good layout. In addition to the stores, you had a few dining options, as well. Overall, it was a good place to do some shopping. I hit up a few stores including the Polo by Ralph Lauren and the Tommy Hilfiger and grabbed a bite at the Chili's. The service was friendly at each location and it was a positive experience. I would definitely recommend here.

You bet I was super thankful. So, I am a frequent visitor of this plaza. I have also seen the many changes it has been through in the last 10 years. About 1/2 of the plaza has changed in terms of businesses like restaurants, boutiques and retail shops. There is a lot and it looks fairly upscale. Don't let that deter you from visiting. If you have never been to a Whole Foods, you'll love visiting this plaza. You can pretty much do everything you need to do at that spot. Don't be surprised if you spend the whole day there because you can! Grab breakfast at District Donuts, get some retail therapy at some of the surrounding department stores, get some lunch Five Guys, shop at Whole Foods and sit for a nice dinner at Bonefish Grill and stay for cocktails at their awesome bar! Don't worry Towne Center, I will be back often! In fact, I think I'm there every 2 weeks or more on the usual.
