New medical clinic

A new medical clinic, Physician Quality Care, will be located at 2075 Pleasant Plains Extended. My guess is this is close to the corner of Country Club and Pleasant Plains on the east side of Pleasant Plains. I believe a Union Planters branch will be on the west side, closer to Quiznos.

Jackson is getting a Wingate Inn

A new Wingate Inn will be located at 24 International Cove. I think International Cove was formerly known as Howard Johnson Cove at the northeast corner of Christmasville and I-40.

Park Place

I have all the respect in the world for Gary Taylor. What is going on at the corner of F.E. Wright and I-40 is tremendous and will be a huge impact on the future of Jackson. Gary, for many years, has had a knack for turning a profit from a pile of dirt. Certainly this is a simplification for a multi-year project and Gary's many years of making contacts in the world of development.

More about Gary can be found on his website.

I was happy to see he redesigned his website and updated the info. This is what Park Place will look like (you can zoom in on the image on Gary's website):

So...the rumor is that we are getting a Kroger at this location. I see on the plan a spot for a theater. I hope it's not another Ajay. We need a quality theater, not one that is a dump, has outside ticket purchasing, no web ticket purchasing option, etc.

In the first completed building is a Sparky's (from Lexington) and a Los Portales, or so I've heard.

Gary's site has a town center on the Sandstone Village site on the northeast corner of the I-40 and Christmasville Road. This town center would directly compete with the other town center located at the southeast corner of Campbell and I-40. Interesting...

I did not see this coming - Robinson Toyota moving to Park Place

I knew that Robinson Toyota was considering moving. It was reported in the Jackson Sun that they made an offer on the school system's building at the corner of Parkway and the Bypass. Today, in the Jackson Sun's legal ads, Robinson Toyota is seeking rezoning of the property at the southwest corner of F.E. Wright Drive and Ridgecrest Extended. Holy Cow! This solidifies what is going on at Park Place. Robinson is certainly an anchor at this location.
