The Mid-South Retail Blog: April 2015
https://midsouthretail.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Congratulations Bass Pro Shops/City of Memphis. When I posted the last Tanger Outlet Mall update not too long ago, I had no idea the new Bass Pro Shops 535,000 sq. ft. mega store in downtown Memphis was just days away from opening: time to eat crow already! Commemorative Bass Pro Memphis grand opening gift card. A bowling alley, hotel, and restaurants. No wonder they missed the December opening by a few months, and were still putting on the finishing touches even after the d...

The Mid-South Retail Blog: March 2015
https://midsouthretail.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. First steel beams go up at the Southaven Tanger Outlet site. Retail Retell posted about the coming Tanger Outlets just last week: http:/ midsouthretail.blogspot.com/2015/03/desoto-county-retail-target-but.html? Suddenly, March 24, 2015, mere days later, new steelwork is going up at the site:. It's 2015, and much of I-55 through DeSoto County remains as it was the day it opened, circa 1964. The mayor wasn't exaggerating when he said these improvements are needed urgently. I would ...

The Mid-South Retail Blog: Kroger 2012 and Marketplace Décor
https://midsouthretail.blogspot.com/2015/07/kroger-2012-and-marketplace-decor.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Kroger 2012 and Marketplace Décor. I'll just go ahead and admit it: this décor post isn't gonna be as fun. It's 2012 décor, for crying out loud; if you have a Kroger near you, there's a good chance this is on the walls! Of course, those anomaly stores are still out there, and I look forward to featuring them in the next (last! Décor post. But until then, for this to be a complete documentation, we've gotta trudge through 2012. Photos in this post come from him, Bradley Memphis.

Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Kroger Bauhaus and Acquired Décor. As promised, here I am with the final Kroger décor post! About time, right? To this point, I've covered - in non-chronological order - Kroger's packages spanning nearly 30 years. Today, I've got the cream of the crop - the look that.

Bauhaus décor at its finest! The b...

Thursday, July 9, 2015. Krog-splosion/ What's next for the Mid-South Retail Blog? Updated with new features). We interrupt your Kroger décor posts for the following Kroger breaking news out of Hernando, MS. Okay, well, it's not really "breaking," per se. It's actually only recent news, from July 2nd, off of the DeSoto County. Chancery clerk website, if you know how to find it (which I now do, thanks very much to l dawg2000! As promised when I started the blog, and not too hard considering I have some stu...

The History of Signature Inn. Wednesday, December 14, 2016. The Signature Inn that never was (Nashville, TN). For my final chronology post, I present the Signature Inn that was planned but never built. Courtesy of newspapers.com. During my extensive newspapers.com research of Signature Inn, I found the above newspaper article from The Tennessean. The only other mention of a Nashville location I saw was a land transfer snippet that was printed in January 1998:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The History of Signature Inn. Thursday, June 30, 2016. Signature Inn Peoria, Illinois and Detroit, Michigan. I have not visited either the Peoria or Detroit locations, so I have no photos of them.

The Detroit, Michigan, location was one of five locations opened in 1987. Depending on who you ask, this location was referred to as either ...

Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Kroger Script (Cursive and Block) and Fresh Fare Décor. We're almost done with the décor posts! This one, the third, marks the halfway point of sorts, with two posts left. However, there's more than just five types of Kroger décor present in the Mid-South, of course! As far as I'm aware (well, more like as far as I'm. Inside the store, as usual, you are greeted by the produce section. No longer "the Kroger Garden," produce nonetheless still goes by different names depending ...
