Neither am I, but it makes my point that things change...the only question is whether it's for the better. Personally, I wish CH would get a few decent family oriented sit down restaurants.

So you think we should bulldoze Mechanicsville B/S , 84 lumber , true value and southern states, build a big box store and all will be right in your world..??
That's the Walmart attitude. One thing you failed to think about is that except for 84 lumber all those stores are locally owned and operated so all that money goes right back into your local economy. The money you spend at Home Depot/lowes goes out of the area to who knows where. I like the little guy and spend my there when ever I can. ...

One: I'm not moving anywhere. Two: Name calling? Really? OK. Bumpkin. I'll oblige your ignorance. Most Americans invest in these crazy things called 401 (k)'s, which are invested in national stocks, so the money makes a big circle directly back into the communties pockets, so anyone can get a tase of the profits. That doesn't happen with local small businesses. The money goes straight into the local bumpkins pockets and that's about it. BTW- you're pretty tough over the internet, but I bet that's not the case in real life. Are you trying to compensate for your small pee pee? So, scamper on back to your trailer, Springer has a transvestite redneck coming out special on tonight. Seems like a perfect fit for you!

BTW- Could we return the debate to a more civil tone please? I'd love to trade jabs all day, in fact I'm pretty good at it, but I'd rather talk about new businesses. Always feel free to challenge my ideas, but I'd rather avoid name calling. Don't get my wrong, I'm really good at insulting people because I spent in years prisons and jails

Not something I would want to advertize, but :shrug:BTW- Could we return the debate to a more civil tone please?

It's really not a big deal...you can learn a lot about bullies in a rec yard at Gladiator School, but can we get back to talking about new businesses coming to SOMD.

Carry on.....
Unfortunately for some of us, it's what sells, it's what the people want.
Businesses don't generally open if they don't see a demand.
This has probably been said on multiple occasions, most (if not all), businesses do studies to determine the profitability of opening in an area.
If their studies don't show it's going to give them a decent rate of return, they aren't going to invest.
You can throw all the statistics out you want, at the end of the day it's the investors you need to convince.
My interpretation therefore is simple, they aren't seeing enough profit for the types of businesses some would like to see.

I posted about the same thing you just did awhile ago. Just be prepared to be told you don't know what you're talking about.
I know
Don't get me wrong, you're logic would be infallible, if we were still in the 20th century. I seem to recall a bunch of folks with similar sentiments saying the same thing about Brandywine. Can you say "MONUMENTALLY WRONG! "

I will never understand why people move to this area and then complain there is nothing here. Guess you should have done your homework and moved closer to this stores you can't live without (or that are just to far).
Orrrr...another way to look at it is...all cities were once countryside.
We moved here from a big city because of my hubby's job.
We have been here 17 years in CH and even though we think we are living in the best location is Southern Maryland, it does get old when you have to drive 20-25 miles for just ordinary shopping.
If you buy something one day, and have to return it, it is quite the hall to return it...so, needless to say I don't return things and mostly buy online. ( I would much rather shop locally, but there aren't any stores here (real stores).

Move.
Better stores, higher education venues, and health care resources would all be a huge help. I agree. The 50 mile roundtrip lifestyle is expensive and difficult to maintain, especially as you get older.

And people go where the work is, especially in this economy. It is not as easy, or financially feasible to move around
I agree.
I am just stating the facts.
If you don't mind me asking, are you native/local to Southern Maryland? Have you ever lived in a "populated/well developed" area outside of MD? If you have, you would understand where I am coming from! Or, maybe you have lived elsewhere, and just didn't like it and want to stay away from built up areas?
I don't want to/desire to move at this stage of my life. However, if God forbid my hubby and I could no longer drive, we would have to move to a city where there is public transportation, and places you could walk to , to shop, etc. (We have no family here, since we are transplants...)
