What is being built next to the Fairfield Inn, across from Sam's Club? Just clearing the land now and staking it out. Looks a bit small for another hotel, but it could be.

I just drove by there and see what you mean. It looks too small to be a hotel but too big to be a restaurant.

Does anyone know what's being done to the tire store next to Arby's on Jefferson? It doesn't look like it's going to remain a tire store.

We were talking about it this morning and thought, if it is going to be a restaurant, it would need to be a destination place due to that location. However, I did see an ad, dated 10/10, for Applebee's, for a General Manager for Cookeville on Indeed.com. Either , they put an old ad in by mistake, or Applebee's plans on coming back.

The old tire store looks to be another strip mall.

I'm not sure if it's relevant but I was at Sam's club last week and saw a small unmarked helicopter take off from that location which I thought was odd. At first I thought the chopper was related to the emergency care center nearby but as it took off I noticed it was too small to be a medical transport.

Had to go into Sam's again today, so I asked one of the greeters, said it's going to be another Marriott branded hotel. So, my guess would be a Courtyard, but it could. be a Residence Inn too .

I've seen a lot of helicopters take off from over there, especially State Police helicopters.

A Courtyard would be welcomed. So would a Residence Inn, particularly since there aren't any extended-stay hotels in Cookeville. I know the Chamber of Commerce guy said in a recent radio interview that Cookeville desperately needs more hotels.

Boy, that lot sure likes to take on water and retain it , my advice is if you book a room at the new hotel to stay on the second floor . Meant to drive by today after the monsoon rains we had last nite but forgot.

We live fairly close by, the helicopter landings are very common, mostly State Police and some private ones also.

I was by there about 12:30 today, no noticeable standing water. But, no equipment was working either.

Semi retired excavating contractor here and we sure can't work effectively when the soil turns into peanut butter. And that is one soggy spot Weather sure doesn't help the deadline. But our area certainly needs more rent -a- rooms with all the growth going on. Amazing what is taking place in the local area.

Drove down Fairground St today past the old bus station, holy smokes, that new apartment house complex just keep expanding, wonder what they are getting for rent in there ?

Also noticed in the subdivision that butts up to my farm, homes are selling fast for $300-$400k. Don't know where these folks are workin' but the buyers ain't flippin' burgers, that's for sure !!

Could be retired people buying the homes after selling their more expensive homes in a bigger city. In some high income areas a $300-$400k home is non-existent or a old and small fixer in the bad part of town.
