Town & Country….again


Earlier this month I posted a photo from the Town & Country Shopping Center. As I said before, the fate of this center is up in the air but, for now it still hosts a number of shops. I thought I’d post another picture from the interior core of the center. You can see the brick walkway and the lush, mature trees that make this place such a comfortable pedestrian place.

  7. It's sad to be reminded of how much potential is wasted at T&C. It used to be the middle class alternative to Biltmore Fashion Park with plenty of shade, independent stores, and a vibrant pulse. Now, the appeal is limited to Trader Joe's and a few resale shops on the north side. Of couse, Linens & Things, a sign of the recent "chaining" of T&C is now liquidating.

    The long-term plan is for vertical development at this site. Ultimately, I think that would be a better use of the prime land there, but I hope the developers will include some sort of shaded plaza as an homage to the T&C I remember.
