Nothing survived the fire. Becky McCormick had surmised Sweetheart Florist of Jackson, at 199 S. High St. uptown, was a safer place for keepsakes than her home. She kept her car title, her children’s birth certificates and other memorabilia there. Then came the electrical fire of June 5. Though it was largely contained to the flower shop, the resulting smoke damaged neighboring stores. Sweetheart Florist was destroyed. McCormick, along with her mother, Penny McCormick, and sister Tracy Livingston, debated whether they wanted to restart the business in a new location. Ultimately, their customers drove them to try. The SEMissourian reports that on Sept. 2, they did just that, with a new location at 922 E. Jackson Blvd., several blocks from the original. Uptown Jackson Revitalization Organization hosted a fundraiser to help the florist and other businesses damaged in the blaze. The shop owners acquired flowers and displays from a florist going out of business in Bollinger County.
