Perimeter is still a great mall, but Cumberland is bad!!! You know
something is wrong when they have a Police Station IN THE MALL! Even
with that, there is still a lot of crime there....Northside is a great
hospital....known as "The Baby Factory." When I was in there for a
couple of weeks for a kidney infection in 1985, they had over two
hundred babies in the nursery...even had to open up a part of the floor
I was on as an extension to the nursery! They now have a beautiful
Women's Center that has L&D, a Special Care Nursery, Gynecology, and a
Family Centered Floor for those that want to have a birth that has the
feel of being at home with your family around. It looks like a
beautiful hotel inside!!! I told one nurse that they need to knock down
the rest of the hospital and rebuild it! ;o)....
Yep, got an extra bed...come on ;o)
