I noticed last week that the National Fitness Center on Alcoa Highway has closed. That was a nice facility. Also, the last Court South just off Merchants Dr. has now been rebranded to National Fitness Center.
Those of you who don't live here would not believe the Alcoa Highway area, from past the hospital all the way down to John Sevier Highway. Lots of earth moving as the state is adding more lanes and turning lanes, improving street interchanges, and the like. The old retail district down through there is inaccessible due to the roadwork and most of it probably will be torn down. As many of us call it, it's becoming even more so "Alcoa Motor Speedway." Not that that area was particularly memorable, but it's going away.
