Perhaps this closing means more development opportunities in the Brookley Field area?
Most definitely! USA will be making a profit from this as well. The money they get from selling this property will go towards the expansion of the Women & Children's Hospital. Sometimes you have to be willing to give up something in order to gain.. lol.. But I'm pretty sure Brookley will put that land to good use. NO DOUBT!
I saw Weinacker's Shopping Center the last time I was in Mobile three weeks ago, and it looks fantastic! I was thrilled to see that. Largest Winn-Dixie in the state, really? I've never been in there, so why do you make that claim?
I have no factual info to back my claim ,but man the store is big,lol The old Rite Aid Pharmacy that has been tooken over by Winn-Dixixe in that center is just the produce and baker alone !! And the produce and bakery section at Wal-Mart isn`t even close to that size maybe half of the grocery section but not produce.I also think that they have extended the rear of the grocery section as well.
Nice pics Alxx! I think im a little late on this topic but I have never seen the renderings for Gayfer's Place. I was walking on my way to see my optician, who has not showed me the renderings for the GM Building yet, and saw this a top the old Gayfer's Building. Am I the only person who hasnt seen this yet? Oh yea. Also have you all noticed the new condominiums over off Florida St. near the bowling alley. I want to say they are about 5 stories high.. not sure. They are going to be really nice. Strange location but really nice.

I wish they would hurry up with the gayfers development.maybe that building could be the first multi usage building for retail. It has three floors, so it would be cool to have maybe an Old Navy on the first floor,A foot Locker or Foot Action on the second,and cafe on the third.
I had no idea that those are condos on the Florida Street corner ? And yes it is about 4 or 5 stories. I wish it was downtown instead but mid town will do just fine. And I have to agree with you that it is in a strange location.
Those Gayfers building renditions have been up for a long time, there's a few more on the St. Emanuel St. side of the building too. I thought the condos plans for it were long scrapped though, and the building was still for sale.
Those condos on Florida St. look like they'll be nice, but yes, very out of place next to the Pathway Apartments and the run down neighborhoods. I believe it used to be part of that church next to it. They are adding large balconies to the building.
Oh ok. Cool Alxx. I thought I was a little late on Gayfer. haha. And I totally agree with you Port_of_Bama. That shud have been placed downtown. But have you all noticed the rather large construction of the Village of Midtown over there behind Tricentennial Park (the park across the creek behind Mobile Infirmary)? It looks like its going to be really nice and large. I searched for renderings of that but couldn't find a thing. Do any of you guys have those renderings?

Yeah that looks really nice. I went running down the creek and looked at it this morning. That area used to be really nice -- I am glad they are focusing on it again.
