I might be a little late on this one but, during my Sabatical in the month of January I missed this little tidbit in the news. 

Could our local FranklinNOW food critic be luring Cameron's Steakhouse to Franklin some time in the future? Has he been having private conversations with Cameron Mitchell too? After all Cameron Mitchell operates Mitchell’s Fish Market at Brookfield Square Mall.

Or given all the hype of "upscale dining" at the affluent Bayshore Town Center, would the push for "upscale dining" here in Franklin tank also?

In case it has escaped you, a new retail expansion development due to open this spring has been going up on the south side of the Lowes Home Center. This development has a town center flavor and has a southern exposure to Rawson Avenue. Unlike most of the retail developments that we have seen on 27^th street, you notice that there is four sided architecture with multi-architectural elements not seen on most so called strip malls.  The available square footage of the Lowes Development is approximately 11 to 14 thousand square feet of retail space.
