Flowood Corner Bakery Deli will open for business Monday, April 20.
A reader requested a list of stores that has leased space at Market Street, so I put on my sleuth's cap and headed for the mall. Among the stores already open for business are J.C. Penney's, DSW Shoes, Bed Bath and Beyond, MiGis, and Dick's Sporting Goods. But the yummiest store slated to open is sure to be the Corner Bakery Deli.
When I stopped by today, the staff was in training. They graciously offered a menu so I could see what delicious foods would be served. Although I was NOT able to procure a pre-opening snack, I was successful in scoring the opening date.
Corner Bakery Deli will be open 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. They serve paninis, salads, and breakfast items.
Flowood Market Street is growing. Michael's is hiring and will soon join the list of new store openings. Many of the smaller spaces are still available for lease.
It's Foreclosure Friday time! Over the last several weeks I've written the Foreclosure Friday series to share a little about the process of finding and buying foreclosures in the Metro Jackson area.
HUD's inventory is down this week, but there are still 35 available properties in the metro area for sale.
One home in Florence, MS is priced $10 a square foot less than its nearest competitor in the same neighborhood. 573 Eaglewood Drive is listed for $108,900 with an "as is" value of $121,000.
Another property, 613 Harvest Drive in Ridgeland, has been reduced from $131,000 to $117,900.
There are a number of foreclosures available through VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you have a particular price range and area that you are interested in, you can search the Jackson MS MLS or subscribe to my blog to receive weekly updates.
Have you received the "green light" to buy a home? Getting pre-approved is an important first step in buying a home, whether you are looking at foreclosures or any other property.
Many people are interested in buying foreclosures because of the value they represent. While it's true that foreclosures can be purchased below market value, giving the buyer instant equity, remember to factor in the cost of repairs. Most foreclosures are sold "as is".
In case you missed any of the previous Foreclosure Friday posts, you can review them here. See you next week!

Today I found myself in the historic Fondren district around lunchtime and decided to stop in at Walker's Drive In for lunch.
Walker's Drive In, a popular Jackson eatery, is located between Fondren Place and Duling Drive at 3016 North State Street. Business is brisk with it's lunch clientele and the Blue Plate Special is popular with the locals, as are the fried green tomatoes, fried portabello mushrooms, and burgers and po-boys.
Walker's is mentioned in the Top Ten Jackson Restaurants by 10Best. The decor is intriguing art-deco, complete with glass block windows, black and white checkerboard floors, and white linen tablecloths. You can dine at the counter or sit at one of their booths. Today a number of people were enjoying the open air patio overlooking North State Street.
If you want to experience friendly service and good home-cooking, stop by Walker's Drive In for a tasty treat and enjoy the unique atmosphere offered by this historic landmark.

The City of Brandon held their Annual Easter Egg Hunt Thursday evening at Shiloh Park. Hundreds of children came to the ball fields to race for the colorful eggs and to jump in the giant inflatables. Four ball fields contained over 2000 eggs each to accommodate the excited children. The well-organized hunt enabled the younger children to collect eggs in their own age category while the older children played until their turn on adjoining fields.
Several lucky participants grabbed the "prize" eggs and received special Easter baskets filled with stuffed animals, candy, and other treats.
Although many cities held their hunts earlier in the season, Flowood's Winners Circle Park will host an Easter Egg hunt Saturday afternoon from 3-5 p.m.
Hope you have an EGG~cellent Easter!
