More Stores Open at District at Eastover

The District at Eastover issued the following press release.


The District at Eastover is pleased to announce the addition of several new retailers, expanding the development’s retail offering and distinct lineup of local boutiques.  Just in time for the holidays, The District Drugs & Mercantile Holiday Pop-Up Shop and Elizabeth Clair’s, a fine china and gift shop, are now open.  These openings follow the November opening of Nursery Rhymes, a baby and children’s boutique.


District Drugs Holiday Pop-Up
District Drugs & Mercantile has opened a holiday pop-up shop in The District, offering a variety of gift items including candles, jewelry, accessories, totes, art, bath products and holiday treats, with a focus on Mississippi-made products including Blue Deer Candles, Primos Cheese Straws and Hi Y’all Made in the South.  A few notable brands at the pop-up include Votivo Candles, Mudpie, Musee Bath, Russel Stover Candies, Peepers and Judy Pound Cakes.

During my years as a pharmacist at Beemon Drugs, I loved building relationships with customers and staying updated on their lives,” said Harris.  “When Beemon's closed, I knew it was the right time to start District Drugs & Mercantile in The District at Eastover. We’re looking forward to continuing Beemon’s tradition of personable customer service.”

The District is starting to feel like Highland Village did in the 90s and 2000s. I hope they keep up the mostly local tenets.

You're killing the "Jackson is Dead" crowd.

Wow, curbside delivery! I thought Wal-Mart was the only one who offered that....and they've got convenient hours. Wal-Mart Pharmacies sure better watch out!!

Anonymous said...

1:14 PM, I should have you know that Wal-Mart offers the best prices and customer service in the Jackson-metro area. Their pharmacists are highly educated and credentialed. I know mine on a first name basis and know that he researches EVERYTHING before he ever makes a recommendation.

At least there aren't any new offerings of more bland, over-priced,small-portions of food at the food court.

Th is pharmacy doesn't cater to the wal-mart crowd... don't you know it's for the private school NE Jackson tennis and country club crowd that hotty toddy on the weekend at the condos in oxford

The churn is coming. Only a fool would think that the District is competing against WalMart.

I'm ready for a boutique gun store to open in The District. Some place that specializes in NFA weapons like preban UZIs, Galils, M16s, and FN FALS. Especially battle rifles with war provenance.

3:33 PM, well considering Domino's Pizza won't deliver to locations within 10 minutes of the District (i.e. "parts of North Jackson"), it wouldn't be a bad idea.

Boutique = Overpriced

@4:33
When it come to NFA weapons, if you have to ask the price then you can't afford it. Think $80,000 legally transferable machine guns. Real select fire assault weapons. Pre-ban stuff. Rich boy toys. Check out the Forgotten Weapons channel on YouTube.

@4:33 or it means locally sourced items not made in China

Sounds to me like a few people from up north who live in fake stucco houses in pastures are quite jealous of the District.

What’s fake stucco?

Anonymous said...

4:12 am It's like the difference between a plastic veneer that looks like wood and solid wood.
One is an acrylic and aggragate mixed thin coating and the other is cement and lime and sand that is slowly applied and dried in multiple coats.

1:48 pm Walmart and Walgreen's doesn't deliver to your home. That can be very important to the caregiver of an ill family member. Also, I've had to use Walgreen's since Beemon's closed and it is difficult to talk to a pharmacist in person or by phone about any problems ( like the doctor not scheduling a new app't before your prescription expires or pills that get spilled and go down the sink drain. You have to go through the doctor's receptionist,then nurse , then wait. The pharmacist gets a quick response. At Beemon's you could ask the pharmacist a question and have an answer in seconds. And, there, they knew you well enough to know whether you needed child proof caps.
Customer service matters to those of us who remember when it was common and not uncommon. The new " Welcome to..." shouts when the door opens isn't a substitute for help when needed or being able to quickly purchase what you need.

1. Make your next appointment when you are seeing the doctor.
2. Stay away from the sink when you take medicine.

Pretty easy. You must be out now.

I have a hard time ordering from a restaurant where the server/order taker has a full neck tattoo and 6 silver danglings in her face.

Looking for like button 9:33.

@9:33
Is that really what bothers you the most? For me is is a kitchen full of illegals. If I see illegals working in the restaurant than I assume no hygiene is being practiced. I've never seen them washing their hands after using the restroom.

@2:05 is jealous.

Am I the only one who saw a crane-truck with a Dollar General sign in the parking lot yesterday? Rumor has it they're gonna stock some really high thread-count silk sheets. And the coupons are gonna put Bed-Bath to shame.

I found it odd they allowed Beckham in there rather than allowing juniker. Especially considering the owners of juniker lives 1 mile away in eastover

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
