Don't forget that people who are not totally disabled can work, do work and WILL work for $10.00 an hr. They would love to have a $10.00 an hr job. Just think, that amount of money can actually keep them from being totally dependent on "government" money. win-win :yay:

Whats holding up the new McKays site. They'll have to changed the sign soon to say Summer 2014.

Still proceeding, just a little behind schedule as you already know. Have up to 8 tenants on stand by as of now. Can't say what till leases are signed and things are finalized because they could walk away at any time.

Good news, glad to see it wont sit vacant any longer.

So, are you saying that a new McKay's is actually going to happen in 2014? I say this because I was just in their old store this weekend, it's finally past the point where I won't shop there anymore...just dingy and wornout.

I like those type of shopping centers. Landscaping is a good thing. They could do the berms, put a sign and access to 301 without looking like Shoppers World in Waldorf.

Super Walmart- we are still fighting that one. I think it will be built at some time, just don't think (and hoping) that time is now. Go sit at the VanGO next to Rite Aid and imagine that element near the nice new Giant and Lowes. Keep all that ghetto in the same spot- Walmart, Food Kitty, $1 store, Laundry mat all fit together nicely.

Funny, I've never seen "ghetto" hanging out next to the Super-Walmart in Dahlgren, ever. It's not Walmart that attracts them, it's the fact that there is a bus stop and they are allowed to loiter there and they will probably continue to loiter there once the new Super-Walmart is built.

That said, I hope it does get built. I hate the existing one.

I don't see many "ghetto" people at the California Walmart either, just rednecks...just like that one in Dahlgren. I stop in there every other month or so. The last time I was there, I saw a teenage boy in an elevated pick'emup truck that rolled over a few parking lot dividers. The other boys in the truck had were screaming "yeehaw". Reminded me of the boys I went to high school with in NC. :lol:

You hate the existing one but don't think the new one, if it is built, isn't going to be just as bad and most likely worst than the old one? Think they aren't going to have a VanGo stop there? Maybe even a large transfer station like that lovely one in Waldorf and St. Charles Parkway?

Think of it as the old sheethole times 2, double the fun!!

Kay's

I hear that Kay's is supposed to open on the 12th. Haven't seen any advertising for it though. Anyone have any info?

I have been told Sakura is going into the old Arizona Pizza Kitchen space in Leonardtown.

Pizza Hut Express will be going into Rosewick Crossing in La Plata and citi financial just opened there as well.

Been very busy, its hard to keep up with everything.

There is nothing on the Wal-Mart plan showing any type of larger bus station. So if there is a stop it will be like the one at the other location. A lot of the people that use van go work at Wal-Mart.

That's old news.

Signs been there for months (on the backside)
Trying to remember if the sign on the building has change (yet?)

What's the deal with Monterey / Plaza Azteca. Someone said the not on Monterey is that they were shutdown for not paying rent? WTF? Did they move / rename or are they just being sued?

Hey Disney, can we get a status update on the Dairy Queen in Charlotte Hall, and what and when stores will be going into that strip mall across from Burger King ?

Lookin for Margaritaville
Charlotte Hall

Forgive me if I missed the answer to my question, will have to read all 25 pages of this thread when I get home but I am wondering what is going in that HUGE dirt lot in Charlotte Hall on the Southbound side of RT 5 ? Thought it was going to be a new McKays but I hear that plan was nixed ?

A Safeway would be awesome !!!

Its still going to be a McKays. Just taking longer than expected. There are multiple tenants on the line but we cant say what until leases are signed.
