When Frank Parker and his partner built the Woodland Square shopping center on Highway 301 South in 2006, I had more than one person express concern that it was "too far" out of town. Could anyone have imagined that seven years later, three massive apartment complexes would be surrounding it, sidewalks would be constructed, and that the area would be crawling with Georgia Southern students. I talked with Parker's wife Marcia Parker about Woodland Square and how it is doing.
