   Do you have any idea what month Trader Joe’s will open? Is it still looking like it will happen this year?

         Thank you, Jason. I know they have knocked down the old buildings- have they broken ground? Does it look like the fall or winter before they open? I’m sorry for the questions- I actually work for a Trader Joe’s in Illinois and am hoping to transfer. But they are not very forthcoming with a date range of when and I’m trying to figure out when I might have to put my house up. Thought maybe the construction people down there might have a better idea.

         Again, thank you for any information.

            JanClare, I’ll ask for an update. You’re correct – the old buildings have been knocked down but it still looks like the site is being prepared for new construction.

               Hi Jason!

               Any chance you were able to find out about the progress? Just checking.

   Jason, we just drove by there yesterday, and believed that we saw a sign indicating there might be construction for a college extension location; I think it said Wilson College (could not read it very well). Can you confirm this? Having another college accessible to downtown would be great. Thanks.

   FYI, the pink house in the background of the last picture is for sale, though quite a fixer-upper:
