Aerial view of the Brannon Crossing shopping center on Oct. 28, 2005, on U.S.27 at Brannon Road in Jessamine Count, just across the Fayette County line. Under construction at the center of the 94-acre shopping center is a Kroger grocery store. Toward the back is the AmStar 14 movie theater. Future development of the area included an extension of East Brannon Road, which would run toward the top of this photo and connects to a residential area. At the bottom, on the opposite side of U.S. 27, was King’s Gardens Garden Center. The business later moved, and the site is now a Cracker Barrel restaurant. Photo by David Stephenson | Staff
