Lofts at college street being develop behind the post office downtown..with retail on bottom floor.....

 

Is this the lot surrounded by Arlington Place, Georgia Avenue, Tattnall Street, and Hardeman Avenue? I can remember when there was desire for Publix or Kroger to open a small grocery store there to cater to Mercer students.
