Some Sad Faces Result From Brookhaven Bruster's Closing

My wife and son will particularly miss the store's banana-split specials, in which you could bring your own fruit to the store for a specially made treat. Do you miss the Bruster's in Cherokee Plaza?

Kroger wants to upgrade their store with a larger deli area--probably to compete better with Publix in Town Brookhaven. Apparently there is a controversy --the zoning plan wants to have more pedestrian friendly new development. Buildings …   more ›
