New Businesses Coming to Southern Maryland

OK class... raise your hands if you believe that this type of store will still be open after the first year in the Lexington Park area.

:howdy: I think it will do quite well if they put it between Wildewood and Kohl's shopping centers. Exception being if they put it in the shopping center where KMart is. That place is :dead:.

The lady that is opening the store has been a successful business owner in the past. She is passionate about everything she does, is an excellent bird photographer and a person many go to with wild bird questions. There are others (besides me) on the forums that are friends with her in real life and on Facebook. She posts a lot of her photographs and bird info on FB.

Personally, I think she will do great and will be around for a long time! Though I do sell bird seed and some supplies at my store, no doubt, I will send people to her.

I'm with you -- I think she's going to be in business for as long as she wants to! She's one of the best go-getters around the county and hands down who I would go to for wildlife photography.

Would you be willing to partner with me to open a Hood Rats Unlimited? It's a Foot Locker/KFC,but the meals come with biker shorts and a pair of hoop earrings.

A new enclosed mall has not been built anywhere in the USA in many years. They are so outdated. In case you haven't noticed, open air shopping centers is the latest trend.

Hillsdale Mall in California started out as an open air mall and was later enclosed.

Yes, I see according to the Hillsdale Shopping Center wiki page, it was converted to an enclosed mall in 1982 (back when enclosed shopping centers were all the rage).

I used to live up the street and walk there in the late 70's.

The new theater across from Wildewood is looking better - they are paving the parking lot.

I'm really looking forward to having something better than what we've had for so long.

Any rumor or word of Whole Foods coming to the area anytime soon? The one in Alexandria would only be convenient on the way home from work. Would be nice if nearby Waldorf had one.
