A Retail Reminder
A photo from August 16th, 2017, shows the Oxford Penney's post-closure, with all the exterior signage removed and a very visible labelscar on the front façade here. Given that the Oxford Mall is owned by the University of Mississippi, it is highly unlikely that another retail store will ever operate in this space... and for that matter, it's looking just as unlikely that the labelscar will even be painted over, lol!
Around this same time, some new apartments were being built behind the Penney's building, on separate property; now, the bus route that serves the mall (officially known as the university's Jackson Avenue Center, these days) has added an extra stop at those apartments, which means the bus passes right by the former JCPenney package pick-up window every single day, multiple times an hour. It's pretty strange going past that and seeing the lights still on inside, but no one home. See also this video.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
