Fondren’s Pix/Capri Theater will re-open as a multi-screen cinema as early as summer 2013.

Principal partner Jason Watkins, along with Marcy and Aaron Vick, David Pharr and Dorsey Carson have signed the deal with big plans for the historic space.

“Our idea,” Watkins says, “is to restore, redevelop, and relaunch it as a movie theater with a dine-in concept.”

Trees and open spaces: they're what designer Anthony Ritter loves. The Fondren creative behind Glo and AR Designs has expanded his footprint with a new showroom not far from his current one. "I look out and can see trees and the green space by Babalu," Ritter says from the former Woodland Hills Dollhouse next to Fondren Cellars. His showroom square footage has gone from 1,200 to 2,500, seemingly overnight, though he says it's been a long time coming.

A giddy and excited Forest woman was in town today to pick up a prize we all would love: a 2012 Honda from Patty Peck. Judy Deleat was beaming as she spoke with Patty Peck General Manager Bob Aubrey and THE Sweet Potato Queen Jill Conner Browne, just before keys were put in to her hands. Deleat was very appreciative of the win saying 'thank you to everyone'. "I'm so excited," she said.
