Goodwood and Upward - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Real estate is one of the largest sectors of the Baton Rouge
economy. In the world of Baton Rouge real estate you don t get any
bigger than Mike Wampold. Over the past three decades Mike s
Wompald Companies has established itself as the premier developer
in Baton Rouge, with a portfolio that includes an extraordinary
list of apartments, hotels, office buildings and planned unit
developments. Mike s devleopment, Harveston, is transforming the
landscape of the southeastern part of the parish. A few
chronological years behind Wampold Companies but no less ambitiouls
and exciting is another Mike Mike Hogstrom and his development
company Onsite Design and Development. Onsite has completed two
infill projects in the Mid City area that exemplify the principles
of smart growth, and is in the process of developing three other
developments in the Old Goodwood area including Adelia at Goodwood,
which will be built on the site of the old Goodwood Plantation.
Talking of Goodwood, Goodwood Hardware is something of an
institution in the local market. Defying industry trends and
competition from big box retailers like Home Depot and Lowe s,
business is booming at Goodwood. So much so that the next
generation is coming up and taking over, in the person of Katelyn
Comeaux. Katelyn explains the art of mom and popism in the 21st
Century. Photos taken over lunch at Mansur s on the Boulevard by
