Finally! Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville will open this week!

It has been about two years since O&S Holding, out of California, started the enormous undertaking that is Bridge Street Town Centre and here we are, in 2007, only days away from it's Grand Opening. Grand is probably an understatement for what is sure to be an experience few people in the South have been around.

A link of all the stores opening over the course of the weekend and scheduled activities are posted on their website.
