This is not like a road project where government is paying for cost overruns and weather delays. This is private entities that have an incentive to get it done quickly and start making money, so they will get it done as quickly as possible. Though government will still hinder them with permits, building code violations, and hiring mandates.

They just broke ground on the theater project. According to the story they will NOT have the reclining seats as the AMC does in Waldorf. They did say the seats would be "oversized". They were also non-commital on 3D capability. My gut tells me that after the first announcment of the theater being part of the new center, the theater group has gone off and done some market research and the project has had a "reality check". That may account for the what seemed like long delay in getting to the ground breaking.

I forget what their projected opening was, but construction will be going on through the winter - so weather may have an influnece on whether it's late spring or earlier fall.

Sonic for Waldorf will be in Pinefield at old exxon station property Route 301 south.

Yo helio yogurt now open in Waldorf in the Charles county plaza

Most of the new stores have opened in the second phase of Brandywine Crossing except for the physical therapist and Carolina Kitchen.

We tried the new burger place (forgot the name) there in the 2nd phase of Brandywine Crossings and 2 beers with burgers/fries was expensive - I'd rather go to Foster's Grill and spend less for a silimar meals.

Yes, Fuddruckers. We ate there yesterday since the one in Annapolis is one of my husband's favorite restaurants (not me). It is smaller than the one in Annapolis, but service was good. Hubby said his meal wasn't as great as what he normally gets at the other one. He also said Foster's is better. I got a salad and it was really good.

Hello Disney aka.Shasho Our hood, Charlotte Hall will be getting our new Advance Auto probably opening next week. Any other things planned. Now that McKays is dead and buried with their plans for a new place, a Aldi or CVS would be great on that site. Lots throw in a BB&T also. (my bank)Since I retired 3 1/2 years ago Im not running to Upper Marlboro 5 days a week. Had to open another acct. at M&T. Seems CVS's are popping on alot corner lots. With only one chain pharmacy in the area, I am surprised that another one hasn't shown interest. CVS is who I have my prescription insurance with and now they have come down on me on a couple of my meds that I have filled at RiteAid and said unless I switch them to CVS, I'll have to pay full price for them. So now I have to run up to St. Charles Pky and Rt5. to get them filled.
On another note, I see you have your SOLD sign on a piece of property at Billingsley and Piney Church Rds, tell me its not another Dash In.lol or has Burch bought it for another Birch Mart. I have heard for years that the corner lot at Gallant Green and Rt. 5 is going to one day have a Birch Mart there. They have owned the land for years. With CSM campus moving to Hughesville, I can see a few places popping up but not too many because those folks down there want to Preserve Hughesville. Not really much to preserve. They should tear everything down and start over from the new SMECO campus on the old road on the right side to the intersection of Burnt Store Rd. Same thing on the left side everything after Harley to Prince Frederick Rd. I know Don of Harley owns just about everything that pops up for sale through old Hughesville, also to include the big corner lot with the house on the hill next to Board of Realtors and the firehouse.

Sorry folks, when people get old and on painkillers they start to ramble on and on. lol Had no idea that this reply was as long as it was till I entered it.

We have banked at M&T forever. We love them! There is a small BB&T branch in Prince Fred, next to the furniture store and where Stoneys used to be (Fox Run). In case you didn't know. CVS sucks. There is a Rite Aid in PF, also. Kmart is a good option for scrips; I actually use their member club (10/yr) more than I use my insurance BC/BS. They are always a lot cheaper. I use them the most.

I am surprised Walgreen's is not here. I love them. They are a lot better than CVS. I wish the Rite-Aid in the Park was a little bigger and a Different location as I would use them more.

I wonder if sucking is part of the CVS plan, that way more people will use the mail in pharmacy option - for those on FEDVIP BC/BS it's getting to be the only option, being forced to generics and 90 mail orders on most scripts. Was just forced to switch from Brand X to generic Y on a script and I noticed a side effect. It's not one that is dangerous but it's "interesting". We will see what the blood test shows in 4 months when I go in for a check up.

You've got to be kidding me SMDH! We most certainly don't need any more banks or pharmacies.

correct, we need more liquor stores and mini-marts. What we need is a complete pharmacy, maybe even a 24 hour one? You know, people do get sick evenings and weekends.

Oh, I forgot cell phone store. It seems no retail place is complete without a liquor store and a cell phone store. Look at the old Blockbuster, it's going to be a fast food place AND a cell phone store - wahoo

You guys are forgetting a Dollar Store/Dollar General.


I hate to say it but everyone down here, in every business survey done, says that more of these businesses are needed. And that's what you get. Whenever a non-chain opens up one of two things happens: either people don't patronize it because they don't "trust" it because it isn't part of a bigger organization or the owners are dumbasses who don't know the square root of #### about running a business. In North Beach it's usually the latter.

No surprise!

Take a look this afternoon and see where SOMD's largest people are at. They will be jammed nut to butt in the Verizon/AT&T outlets and in the local cookie cutter chain eateries slapping on the feed buckets!
