The Tom Thumb at Abrams and Forest will be closing in the next two weeks. Dr. Tony Myer, local veterinarian, verified this rumor today. The pharmacist at the store told him that it was shutting down. This could make an impact on the neighborhood. It of course takes away a close neighborhood store for those who have used it for years. It may also cause a flight from the area apartments to apartments at Audelia and Greenville since so many of their residents walk to the store.
