Page 1 5000 Murfreesboro Road 5000 Murfreesboro Road | La Vergne TN Void Analysis Overview The match scoring algorithm is a proprietary index created by SiteSeer Technologies and provides the user with a visual indicator of how well one’s site trade area matches the typical site location profile of each tenant chain. The match score ranges from 0-100 with a score of zero indicating that the chain has never located in a trade area similar to yours and a score of 100 indicating that the chain always locates in a trade area like yours. The algorithm looks at both (a) the percentage of times each chain locates in a trade area similar to yours, and (b) how far each site metric is from the chain’s median site profile. The site profile is determined by the types of communities and trade areas where the tenant typically locates; site characteristics such as whether the chain typically locates in primary or secondary retail areas, on major arteries, or in areas of high business traffic; and trade area consumer demographics and behavior. The cotenant column indicates how often each tenant co-locates with your site’s existing anchors or major tenants. For example, if the tenant shown on the report “ABC Retail” has a cotenant result of 25% and your anchor is Target, 25% of ABC Retail locations are co-located with Target.

  • The Last of Sheila a Whodunit? No Question
    NOIR…OR NOT? Rosemarie Keenan s The Last of Sheila a whodunit? No question. A show business satire? You bet. A dark comedy? Unquestionably. But is it noir? Your captain says yes. In order to make the case, though, we’re going to Ihave to take a close look at the film. Quite close. Unmask-the-killer close. So if you haven’t seen the movie, you may want to head ashore before the gangway is raised. A weekend in the country, the bees in their hives, The shallow worldly figures, the frivolous lives. — “A Weekend in the Country” from A Little Night Music Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim The 1973 film, directed by Herbert Ross from a script by Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins, collects a half-dozen Holly- wood friends for a week-long Mediterranean cruise aboard the Sheila, the yacht of imperi- ous producer Clinton Green (James Coburn). The industry insiders are gorgeous actress Alice (Raquel Welch); her loutish manager/ husband Anthony (Ian McShane); Philip (James Mason), a once-esteemed director now helming TV commercials; struggling screenwriter Tom (Richard Benjamin); his wealthy wife Lee (Joan Hackett); and brassy agent Christine (Dyan Cannon). Our unsuspecting passengers are in for more than just a vacation. Clinton has planned the trip to commemorate the one-year anniver- sary of the hit-and-run death of his wife Sheila, killed the night of a party attended by several of the invitees. The driver was never iden- tified. The pre-credit sequence, in which Sheila (played by Hammer Films actress Yvonne Romain) runs along the dark streets of Bel Air doesn’t reveal much except that caftans worn without bras were acceptable hostess attire in the early seventies.
