    Re: RUMOR: Target in Ruston?

    I agree with some that Target won't survive in Ruston...due to current population and Wal-Mart

    What I wish be done is more investment in downtown Ruston..local dining and entertainment would be nice. I hope one day we can see a big push to revitalize the area...example el dorado. Things I would like to see Ruston do first about downtown...bury the electric line, install brick paved street, and landscape (plant trees, bushes, etc).

    I don't know how many of you been to fredericksburg, tx...it's something that I wish Ruston would look like.

    That should always be an on going progress with Tech and Ruston...i hope one day the TXI (texas industries) concrete plant will be moved on the outer limit of the city.

    Tech could probably invoke eminent domain to get it out of the way.

    Re: RUMOR: Target in Ruston?

    I'm opening a sushi bar in Ruston if no one else does in the next 2-3 years. No need for hibachi, just a few on-hand sushi artists, a nice liquor selection, and some cute hostesses.

    I cannot fathom why no one has done this yet. Tokyo gets SO MUCH BUSINESS from Ruston.

    they plan on buying the property and offering them a place on mcdonald or famerville st areas.


    plans i saw a few years ago had tech wanting to build a nice entrance into tech coming in from arizona st. the txi plant would have to go in order for that to work. tech has bought just about all the property in between txi and the engineering building.

    i had also looked at plans for a nice green area between keeny circle and first baptist. i dont know how much they have purchased or still plan to purchase between louisiana and texas streets, but i thought it was a great idea.

    WHAAAAAA

    Oh heck no. Best Buy just slaughters Circuit City in every way possibly imaginable.

    Well, I don't know much about the photography front, and since that's your area of expertise, you may have a point there, but for all of the geeky stuff I'm familiar with? Best Buy smokes that place.

    I heard about two months ago that one was looking at Ruston. Don't know if it is Tokyo though. Haven't heard anything since....but that's not unusual.

    The biggest construction that I know of this year will be the Tech apartments.

    There will be some stuff going in by Dowling's, but don't know when construction starts.

    The rumor about Target has been going around for over a year and a half (Not just people talking but an actual SERIOUS rumor). I don't know if they are just planning or if it fell through. I haven't heard anything in a while.

    The walls at Walgreen's are currently going up.

    The city limits have been expanding and there has been a LOT of rezoning notices in the paper lately.

    I really don't get Walgreen's setting up directly across the street from Rite Aid. If they pull that off then I see no reason Target couldn't survive here.

    I think Target could hack it anyway. There are a lot of people ready to ditch Wal-Mart if there were an alternative. I can see a lot of people making the rounds--hitting both Target and Wal-Mart while they are out.

    I heard that a Hilton and Outback are going to be built by Dowling's BBQ. Dr. Armstrong from Monroe owns that property. There was a house on that property that was going to be torn down. He let us have it. We moved it over by Ruston High. The guys that were doing the land clearing said that there was going to be a Hilton, Outback and some kind of strip mall.
