More about Tupelo
You guys rock! I love the blog and love the quick info. Keep up the great work.
its very well done keep it going ok
Welcome to blog land!
Hello Tupelo. Has anyone heard of the pharmacy CVS coming to Tupelo. I have heard that they have bought the WEST MAIN CHURCH OF CHIRST on the corner of Thomas st. and West Main. Is there any truth to this. Thanks for your response
We’ve heard that rumor, too. However, CVS won’t comment on any deals until they are signed, sealed and delivered. The last thing I heard about the CVS/Church of Christ deal was the two couldn’t work out a timeframe. The way I heard it, the church said it would sign if CVS would allow the members time to find a new location. However, CVS was looking for a site that was immediately available.
But, all of that is rumor and was passed down through the grapevine. Neither party has commented.
You can read previous coverage about CVS here:

And, please keep in mind that just because the Crosstown CVS plan turned into one big hot mess, it doesn’t make CVS a bad company. It does mean, though, that it is going to tread lightly while it attempts to enter the Tupelo market again.
Just for the record, the new CVS in West Point looks very nice!!! Not sure when it opens though. One at Crosstown would have really made that intersection look great.
Wherever they decide to build in Tupelo, it will definitely be a great addition.
well north ms. get ready to stay home for training for the toyota highlander ok

Hi, guys!! It was so cool to see your post on Poynter just now, Carlie. I’m originally from Mississippi (Pontotoc and Tupelo). My dad, a longtime doctor from the area (James Hubbard, M.D.) and I now run a magazine from Colorado (the blog for it: http://www.MyFamilyDoctorMag.com/blog).
I was a Daily Journal intern in probably 1998, believe it or not.
I would love to subscribe to this blog’s feed but couldn’t find a link to do so. Am I missing it somewhere or is this not an option?
So glad to have found you!
Best regards,
