Making way for the Higland Row

After years of waiting, the old Highland Church of Christ is being torn down to make room for the Highland Row. The Highland Row will be multi-feature building that will have shopping malls, places to eat, and residential living space.

The lot had housed the old church which had been sitting there for years gathering dust. Many people had given up on the project and felt that it would never happen, but sure enough, the church has been utterly destroyed.

It almost feels like a small victory for Memphians. In a city that is nationally known for bad things, this is a bright spot that will bring revenue to the University area.
