Q: A development that included JC Penney, Best Buy and Books-a-Million was slated for Sam Ridley Parkway last year, but seemed to be dropped by its developer. Can you explain briefly what happened with that project? And do you believe that a development like that might find new life in the Rocky Fork Road area?We might still get them, but the plans as they had been publicized are now defunct. The one store that Smyrna needs so much in my view just got delayed.....Danm!
A: It is my understanding that the original developer is no longer the owner of the property but there still may be an opportunity for those retailers to come to Smyrna. Since development in the Rocky Fork area is still a couple of years in the future and we need to continue to encourage retail growth, I would like to see them move forward sooner rather than later on Sam Ridley.
The news that Hollywood Video is also closing was announced today also.

Thanks for the update on that. I figured the chances weren't good since the whole economy really crashed shortly after we were hearing about this and then there was no more news.
Do we know anything about the Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery Warehouse in LaVergne (right behind Target)> Will they be able to stay open?
No idea on that, but the article said a lot where closing so the odds are not good for it.
I called that one a year ago. I hate that I was right.
