1/20/19 Misc Info FYI:
This is one of at least half a dozen+ blogs that I have about Kennesaw and all of them are pretty much out of service as I have been gone from K for just over 3 yrs, after 15 years living there.
So with the passage of time I have posted less and less. The site 'may' now and then have another post but it is pretty much off my radar scope these days. So take a look, you might find something of interest, I see that several folks come back repeatedly and are probably disappointed to find nothing new here. Thanks for looking in -

Those few who look in from time to time to see what progress is being made at the Marketplace Mall / Castle Lake Site have a few new photos to slightly update the work.
First some more interior shots of the WF build out:
The Overture on Barrett site:
And Last is: Cielo Blue, at 1575 Crater Lake Dr, Kennesaw a Mexican Grill and Cantina, see details on this chain at: http://www.cielobluecantina.com/.

AMAZON BUYS WHOLE FOODS MARKETS
for $13.7 billion in cash.
It remains to be seen whether the Kennesaw (and other locations) will retain the WF brand name or take on one of the several Amazon brand names already in play.
Amazon has been desperately trying to break into the grocery business for some time, but that’s proven a difficult nut for the online mega-company to crack.
They’ve tried AmazonFresh, Amazon Prime Pantry, and a bunch of other initiatives to get customers to order groceries online, but it’s been slow going. In May, Amazon opened two grocery-pickup stores for the public to use.

KENNESAW SENIOR 55+ HOUSING
Work continues on this project located at the West end of the Kennesaw Marketplace Mall.
One thing this development will have is a LOT of corridors, they stretch on forever.
The Build out of the Whole Foods is on track and work continues. Here is the interior as of Sunday June 11th.

KENNESAW MARKETPLACE MALL - Restaurant Overkill
Mystery partly solved as to what this stand alone building will be. I've said all along it would be a restaurant, that turns out to be correct as the Kennesaw building permit issued to Fuqua Development lists it as a restaurant, just has no info on what the chain is, but it will be a restaurant of some sort. This will be the 20th restaurant within 3 blocks of the intersection of Cobb and Barrett Parkways. The only real question is which will be the first one to go out of business. There are just to many restaurants in that area to realistically believe that they will all be here 6 months from now.

Still not sure what this is going to be. It is the last retail build out.
The only active building elsewhere on the property is the 55+ senior housing.
