I have just been noticing the massive building that is being built there, and all of the heavy foundation work that they have been doing the past few months on the Florence side of the bridge. Does anyone know what is being built there?

Marina. the massive building you mention is dry dock storage for boats. if you were to notice you will see a massive forklift that will be used to place the boats in their places. A customer will call ahead of time when they want to use their boat and it will be placed in the water for you.
For all who have lived in this area, whether for all their lives or for only a short time, that creek is not "Shoals Creek," It is SHOAL CREEK. Only one "s", the first letter.
Yup Shoal Creek get it right noobs.
It may be spelled with only one "s", but you can just grandfather me in cause I'll still say "Shoals".
Too bad Mr. Rollison won't get the dry storage complex completed until it's not needed--in the Fall. You'd think he'd have staged construction to be completed about now.
And a little advertising and marketing would also help fill up the racks.
What I'd like is something to eat on the water--and gas pumps. We really miss the old Marina Mar to cool off in.
Our marina facilities are ridiculously slim for so many people being in the area. Norris Lake, 25 miles north of Knoxville, has 18 marinas, some of which are full line resorts. And they have a bunch of floating houses.
If we're going to say Shoals Creek, may we say Shurfild and Tezcumbie?
As long as I can say Flarence and Mus Shows.
And don't forget St. "Florine
"
It may be shoal creek in Tennessee, but in Alabama it is shoals creek.
In Lawrenceburg tn, there is a east fork shoal creek and a west fork shoal creek. After they flow togather, the name is Shoals creek. Something else, a few years ago, someone built a house on Shoals creek. There was massive news about this house and lot might be built on indian graves or there might be a civil war vet buried there. Now there is enough dirt work done to build a shopping center and no news or objections. What gives?
My dad usually pronounced it Shirt tail and Tuscrummie. Had his own sense of humor.
You need to check the map. It's Shoal Creek. Look at the signs also. Mrs. Maness at UNA said only yamn dankees called it Shoals Creek.
Dire, my father often had to go to Chattanoogie on business.
Have it your way, I know what happens in Lawrenceburg at the head waters of Shoals Creek
You can call it Shoals Creek but you would be wrong.
This subject has about gone its course. STOP IT!
It's water under the bridge.

The marina that is the topic of this thread is located on a body of water that is officially named SHOAL CREEK. One "S" only, and that at the first.

Well.... I was born and raised in Killen, not an import, and I have never left in 35 years. It was my mistake for the "S"...now, can't we all just get along!
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well okay.
When they announced this project a couple years ago, or whenever, they also said they were also going to construct condiminiums at the location. I'm not sure if that is still in the works or not
