Progress

Post Number Three of a Ten Part Series

Progress Report Number Eight

This is an interesting area in Macon, Georgia. Years ago this Plaza housed an A&P Food Store, a Unit of the Bibb County Library System, an Exclusive Fabric Store and a host of other retail outlets.

The Flower Child has fond memories of obtaining necessary Do It Yourself (DIY) supplies from a locally owned Hardware Store when he was much younger and his Children attended the nearby Rosa Taylor Elementary School.

This Photo taken on December 26, 2008 clearly shows that this once well regarded mecca of retail activity has been in decline in recent years. I do believe that a United States Post Office and a Child Support Recovery Unit still operate out of this once famed "Riverside Plaza Shopping Center."

Progress can be painful, but is this the type of progress we really need in any City, let alone, Macon, Georgia?
