Harris Teeter is going to be the market for the new St. Marys Marketplace shopping center.

PetValu is going into brandywine crossing

Which shopping center is St. Marys Marketplace, is that the one that's suppose to be on the corner of Rt. 4 and Rt. 235 where the old trailer park was.

That's not going to happen. It's already approved.
It wouldn't be the first time an approved project fell through. At least I do not have to travel that intersection on a daily basis. Can you say Charlie Foxtrot?

Yes I'm an MPD, But who's
Not a business but does anyone know when the new cell tower in Hollywood (across from the entrance to Fenwick Manor) will be active?

Also heard, as many here probably have, that Wildewood Shopping Center is soon to have a massive facelift, with them closing all stores from the Sears down near the TanTaztic, and building outward toward the parking lot. Vendors there have said they're supposed to be done by the end of the year.

Have not heard what is going in there, or exactly what they intend to do with all the NEW space, only that the owners are raising the rents.

Good. That place needs a renovation. In the 13 years we've lived here, I have gone in exactly 2 of the stores in that section. The bead place (looking for specific items for a craft project, will not be going back, can get better stuff online) and Dollar General (there are how many more of them in the area, so no loss there).

That Dollar General is very convenient for me.

I think there is one up in the Mechanicsville area by Randy's Ribs.

Well, it's the closest Dollar General to me, and I go to the barber shop there also. But it IS the DG and my chiropractor I'll miss being there.

Just want to know what's going on, because it seems every shopping center falls to the same problem - owners who just want too damned much rent.

I haven't seen or heard anything. I don't know what "building out" would do except take out sidewalk or parking spaces.
I don't think the center is at 100% and the stores in that area don't seem to be squeezed for space, so other than a cosmetic / structural change, what is being proposed?

Oh, and rent increase is a foregone conclusion after any upgrade.

Figure bring those storefronts out to the front of Sears, you more than double the square footage of each one. Allows for a larger group of merchants who might have passed up that location simply because there isn't enough square footage for what they sell.

That's what I figured would be happening as well.

Isn't there an Amish furniture place just north of Bruster's in Hollywood? It is sad, I have lived here all my life and never gone in that store. Living in a condo I don't have much room for anything anyway.
