Hook me up with a Target!
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007So, word around the campfire is that Oak Ridge and Target are looking to be BFFs, as long as the town can work up about 10 million clams to fix up Pine Ridge, which is currently a big hill, a sign, and like, some buildings or something out on Illinois Ave.
This registers a hell yes. In fact, on the Atomictumor Hell Yeah-O-Meter, this comes in as a solid Keitel.
A Target in Oak Ridge, alone, is an awesome thing, but the forward momentum in getting decent quality shopping in the town would go a long way toward alleviating the damage done by that Arnsdorff and his little mall meltdown.
Provided that we can ensure that development of this thing will be prompt and on schedule, done by a group with the maturity level necessary in working business transactions like a grown-up, this will be wicked awesome. I full on and 100% get right on behind approving the money and whatnot to develop this bad boy.
Beyond that, I also have sent instructions to my legions of Atomictumor automaton puppets (Atomictumatons) installed in various positions throughout the town to lend full support and grease all palms necessary.
Seriously, tho, I’ve long complained that this town is stagnating. Sure, we’re getting housing, and sure, the industrial/federal complex is in full on mode, but for any kind of decent shopping, we have to bust it on down to Knoxville. A Target opening up in town would also pave the way for a better class of shops (shoppes) to anchor to the beast, and take all of my money.
Particularly a SuperTarget, because, man, Food City sucks.
I am Atomictumor, and I have approved this message.
