Yes, the farmers market in Charlotte Hall. It would be nice but I do not ever see it happening.

That'll be the day. There's not enough space for a Super Walmart or a regular Walmart. But it would be nice to have one over here.
you sound like my hubby! Even he said it would be too good to be true! lol I never thought I would ever hear him say something positive about Walmart! lol
Living in Charlotte Hall certainly changes your perspective of things! lol
For me, I will be praying every night until it happens! I will nag God to death!!! lol

Have you seen the smaller, "neighborhood" WalMart stores? I suppose that is a possibility if the lot isn't large enough for a full size store
I can't see a Walmart fitting in that space let alone a "Super" Walmart.
As for the Chuck E Chesse replacing the McKay's on Great Mills Rd.
1.
2. another "fine dining" option for St. Mary's county
3. hours of operation will be limited to daylight only.
4. What are they going to do with the rest of that center (that had already been abandoned).
5. Great location for a retention basin/ grass field to aborb water.

I figured if a Chuck E Cheese were ever placed there it would just be more of a free day-care for all of the subsidized housing located behind it. Then the kids could mooch off of any one stupid enough to go there thinking they could have a nice time.

Anyone know what's being built next to the bank in Charlotte Hall?

A Bojangles would go great there. I could see huge numbers of base employees stopping there every morning to get their chicken biscuit fix.

Ben Burroughs would never give up his junk mart of a farmers market, he is probably making a bundle of money from the vendors paying rent for their spaces. The other part of that land beside the market, the lumber yard is or was owned by one of our county commissioners, the one who is against anything coming to Charlotte Hall. He's the one who said let Charles County have the new campus for the College of Southern Maryland. I was recently in Myrtle Beach and there was one of those small Walmarts, it was mostly a food store and nowhere the size of a regular store. Now that might be a good idea where the new McKays was suppose to go or a Aldi. I heard (not a rumor) Chick-Fil-A would love to find a site in Charlotte Hall to build on in the future.
Last time I saw Ben's son (about a month ago) he said his dad was in really bad shape. It seemed like it was something he would not be recovering from.

We already have an Auto Zone and a Napa store. They should turn it into a Olive Garden.

That would be nice, but Olive Garden is losing money, according to one of their investors they are giving out to many breadsticks and their take home leftover boxes are too expensive. But Darden Companies also own Texas Longhorn, now I could go for one of those.

You guys are ####ing unbelievable. You bitch and bitch and bitch about there not being any local businesses, especially restaurants, opening up and everything being corporate and what happens? All you do is have orgasms over chains.
And even if a local would open up you wouldn't go because it's not a chain.

I think we should bull doze the WaWa and put the Halfway house back. Now that was a place I remember having good food (maybe memories just make it better) and before anyone says St. Mary's landing is the same people and same food it really just isn't.

Ben Burroughs owns the junk market and all the land up to Golden Beach Rd.
Larry Jarboe owns the old lumber mill behind the junk market and the land south of the junk market, including the junkyard back behind Cord's Cabinetry.
Larry and Ben HATE each other. They will both go out of their way to spite the other.
Here's what Ben told last time I talked to him:
Why did Larry get the water service removed from the comprehensive plan? To prevent Ben from being able to more develop his property.
Years ago they tried to put a WalMart on the property behind the Food Lion. Jarboe organized the NIMBYs to prevent it.
Ben refused to give Larry access thru his property to the property south of the junk market. Thus the road between Cord's Cabinetry and the junk market.
Larry forced Ben to pave and light the commuter lot.
So long as both Larry and Ben are both upon God's Green Earth, the junk market and crappy abandoned lumber mill will both continue to exist due to the other party blocking the other from doing anything to better their property.

Nope, doing just fine without all that crap in our area. If we want pizza we can drive up to St James and get a loaded hubcap.
