Now that the bubble has burst we were all proved right....oh yeah we desperately need the shopping..Phipps and Lenoz are nearly 3 miles a way..and what do they have? and Kroger and Publix ...the closest one is 2 miles...yep..we need more shopping...The fact that Sembler is crying out of cash is a classic developer move when you get in a tight spot cry poor me and the project will be left unfinished. Well guess what...even though they tore down the only decent low income housing around for miles and they clear cut 30 acres of 100 year old trees..... we still have some wide open green space. I have a better idea why not turn it into a park? No retailer is coming in...didnt you folks get the email???? The bubble has burst....the county will NEVER hand over the cash to Sembler if they have an iota of intelligence or an ounce of decency left in themJ.B.Vickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11363364527507387733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-71606288945252062032009-05-23T00:04:12.165-04:002009-05-23T00:04:12.165-04:00I was never aware of a Macy's concept store be...I was never aware of a Macy's concept store being planned for this development, furthermore, I see it highly unlikely Macy's (Federated) would revive the Rich's name.ProShop99http://www.blogger.com/profile/16296140882750345422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-31608219267346920122009-05-22T21:54:32.295-04:002009-05-22T21:54:32.295-04:00Is Macys still setting-up shoppe here?

As an Atlantan I find it the best source of retail news happenings. Keep it up! The Town Brookhaven thing will be a great thing for North Buckhead/Brookhaven/Chamblee/Dunwoody. Hopefully Sembler can make it happen. Wasn't there once a mention of it being filled with all local businesses ie Flying Biscuit-type places.
