CVS prior response to concerns:
Dear Ms.,
Thank you for contacting CVS/pharmacy. Your e-mail has reached the Customer Relations Department. We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us with your concerns.
CVS/pharmacy opened its first store in the city of Memphis earlier this year and we are committed to continue providing the community with high quality pharmacy services ... See Morein convenient locations. CVS and our developer, Redd Realty, are working cooperatively with the city to locate a store at the corner of Union and Cooper that will complement the surrounding neighborhood.
Together with the congregation that currently owns the property, we have completed extensive due diligence and regrettably the building is beyond repair. The congregation has announced it will use the proceeds from the property’s sale to fund their charitable programs. CVS and Redd Realty have begun the planning and permitting process with the city of Memphis and are currently working with the Office of Planning and Development to complete an extensive review of the site plan. We look forward to serving the Midtown community at our new store and taking care of all of their pharmacy healthcare needs at a convenient and accessible location.
Thank you again for contacting us Ms.___. We value your feedback and hope to be able to serve you in the future.
Sincerely,
Danielle

Midtown Overlay Zoning Meeting Reminder
REMINDER: The meeting to discuss the Midtown Overlay Zoning will be THIS Wednesday, JUNE 23rd AT 5:30 - 7 PM At Circuit Playhouse (Old Playhouse on the Square)
The Memphis Regional Design Center in conjunction with the Memphis & Shelby County Division of Planning and Development, the Midtown Memphis Development Corporation, the Cooper Young Development Corporation, and the Cooper Young Business Association is pleased to announce the launch of efforts to develop a plan for the future of Midtown Memphis. The Midtown Plan will include an overlay district that will cover areas of Midtown that are not currently covered by the Medical District Overlay or the various Historic District overlays indicated on the map above. The yellow areas with a red boarder indicate areas of Midtown that will be studied in the coming months to develop guidelines that will help direct redevelopment in the area. While providing specific design requirements that will ensure that proper development is occuring in Midtown, the plan will also give developers some predictability, increasing the vitality and economic stability of the area

To Chain or Not to Chain
Interesting article about the right way for chains to enter into established neighborhoods. A great quote from the article is "When it comes to national retailers, there are three kinds of communities: Those that actively pursue them, those that actively reject them, and those that sit by and watch what happens."
