The HT is going to move over to North Hills East. No word on what's going into the current HT's space, but I'll bet it won't be groceries. Chains like Whole Foods and Fresh Market don't understand that NH is a totally different market than Wade/440. They just see that it is a 10 minute drive. One rumor floating around for a while was that Trader Joe's was going to take the HT space. Of course, we've since learned that TJ's is going into the Holly Park shopping center. I can just hear the moaning and groaning about the parking for HT in NHE now. (Currently there is a lot of unfound criticism about parking for the west side.) Personally, I'm kinda "meh" about the architecture. I don't mind the Alexan, but a whole giant complex that looks like it is like getting a year of free Welcome to Moe's dining. Right, Jenna.

(If not, that would be a great location for a Whole Foods or Fresh Market.) If a Harris Teeter will be part of North Hills East, will the one on Lassiter still be there?

That parking lot behind the CAPTRUST Tower will be an eyesore if left undeveloped. While still a great project, I hope NHE will not be scaled down.
