This is the former Merchandise Mart on Independence. I just attended the Southern Christmas Show here the other night. Great place. It's HUGE! The Christmas show has been here for years. Lots of arts, crafts, food & festive stuff. A  Christmas shopaholic's dream, a husband's nightmare! Plenty of parking ($6 to park) and tickets to the show are just $7.50 at all Harris Teeters with a Vic card ( I knew they were good for something). This place has all kinds of expos & shows throughout the year. The Southern Christmas Show is a great way to get into the holiday spirit!
