The saga continues UPDATED
Ok, so my friend Charlene drove by the sign again and this time noticed the "New/Used Furniture" below the name. Bummer! But of course this got me thinking about the little article from November 2005 about the TJs grocery store being built in that exact location. Since I'm curious by nature, I took a shot and emailed the editor of the Charleston City Paper where I saw the aforementioned article. I basically said that I got my hopes up and then was pretty disappointed to find out it was the dumb furniture TJs. And that basically I just wondered how it went down and if they knew anything about the TJs grocery store pulling out. This was the email I received back:
Ew. That's not good. It looks like we got it wrong, but I'm pretty sure we got a press release about it and called the home office... I'll have to do some research.
That's so sweet that the editor not only responded the next day but that she offered to look into it. No idea if she'll actually do so but it was a nice offer.
UPDATE:
We're getting closer...
Coming Soon
Atlanta, GA (Midtown)
Charlotte, NC (North)
Charlotte, NC (South)
Hillsboro, OR
Irvine, CA (Irvine & Sand Canyon)
Marietta, GA
Templeton, CA
Would I drive to 3 hours to Charlotte just to go to Trader Joe's? No. Seriously, I wouldn't. But once the new Ikea is open...maybe.

Wow, I'm impressed that editor responded so quickly! I'm still hoping they weren't wrong though. You guys need a food TJ's!
my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need :)
Karen lives in Marietta... so if you made the haul out that way, at least you'd have a place to stay :)
Hillsboro, Oregon is getting one but not Charleston?? That don't make no sense!
Irvine already has at least one TJs, they don't need another one before you get yours!
