From Brunswick: 100 Years of Memories (1990) BRUNSWICK SHOPPING CENTER An early acquaintance with the editor of The Blade Times (an earlier to wn weekly) and the opening of the Brunswick Shopping Center in 1985 were the beginning and closing of a circle of events with Brooks C. B. Wood in the center. Wood had a pleasant introduction to Brunswick through Jim Bryan, former editor of The Blade Times and a fellow CBer. About thirteen years later, in 1973, Mr. Wood was searching for land suitable for developing a senior citizen housing complex when he met Charles F. Stone, already active in Brunswick’s development of the Wenner farm. Stone expressed his disappointment that only a High’s Store and an Exxon Station had materialized from his dream of a shopping center. On the contrary, the parcel Wood selected for the senior complex soon blossomed forth as planned. The Stone Wood relationship likewise blossomed into a best friends relationship, with Stone becoming the younger man’s mentor. With Stone’s guidance, Brook Wood prospered, then “Stonewood” Associates became a joint venture. In 1983 Wood purchased the land surrounding High’s and Exxon. For a year the co- workers planned the shopping center, driving thousands of miles and talking with potential tenants, lenders, and builders. They worked through a spectrum of emotions, until the Brunswick Shopping Center became a reality in 1985 and was fully functioning by 1986.
