Original Message The Piggly Wiggly on West End Ave, across the street from Vanderbilt University Campus, closed after 70 years of being a grocery store of one type or another.

It served thousands of low income, handicapped and Elderly residents of a large high rise just one block away. Most of those residents do not drive or own vehicles. This has to be devastating for them. All they have now is a Walgreens about 2 more blocks away.

But not just low income are affected. The area is full of million dollar plus condos and rental apartments all who depended on the grocer. Students without cars shopped there. It made the area a "walking neighborhood", where you could easliy live without a car and take buses. No more.

There are no plans to bring any grocery store back.

For myself it's devastating, it was one of my go to places. You could have lunch at one of dozens of restaurants, shop for clothes or other things, then stop in the grocery before hitting home. It changes the entire fabric of Nashville to lose that store.
