Trader Joe’s on the Agenda

By: Mr. Wilson on August 2, 2010
Some of you are just a weeee bit excited about Trader Joe's coming to SouthPointe. If you just can't get enough TJ news, good ol Jack Mitchell has said that TJ's liquor license is on the City Council's agenda today. That's nowhere close to a store opening, but hey, big fans just want to see progress. In other SouthPointe news, did you know SouthPointe is supposed to be a Williamsburg-style lifestyle center? I suppose it is a "lifestyle center" in that it is an important part of the local consumerist lifestyle. And although I've never been to the original, I suppose it could share a few qualities with the outdoor shopping malls of Olde Williamsburg. Still, I probably would have described it as a prototypical early 21st Century outdoor mall. I guess that's why I'm not in marketing.

Actually, it’s just an item about setting a hearing for Aug. 16.

Details details. 😊

While I’ve got you here, Matt, have you heard any updates about the project planned for the block bounded by 10th/11th/M/N Streets? I’m not sure if that falls into your territory or not, but I walked by the block this weekend and I realized I hadn’t heard any updates for a while.

Have not heard a peep, but a lot of people I talk to are very skeptical it’s ever going to happen.

That’s what I feared. Unfortunately, it’s entirely consistent with how major project announcements in Downtown Lincoln have gone over the years.
