New Walmart in Mechanicsville area !

God forbid, anyone would want to spoil beautiful Hughesville..

Hughesville is beautiful. It is more than just that short strip of road and having heavy industrial buildings there does nothing to add to it. Do you live there? If not, why would you care what it looks like?

Why do people absolutely wet their pants over a Wal-Mart, Olive Garden, Ruby Tuesday, TGIFriday's etc?

BS Gal loves going to Wal-Mart. She even gets all dolled up for the occasion.

I have traveled many places...seen some nice places and some not so nice. To me beauty is open fields, green grass, tall trees, wildlife, etc. This is what I see from my home in Hughesville. So, yes, to me it is beautiful. Sad if you've been here of years and cannot see the beauty around you. What is your idea of beauty? Buildings, cars, pavement, traffic?

I prefer the mountains or seashore...open fields, green grass, tall trees, and wildlife describes just about anywhere 25 miles outside of any city...thats pretty ordinary to me, but if you believe it's particulalry beautiful in Hughesville, enjoy!

mechanicsville is a mess already with traffic even on the weekend. Good luck.

In VT we had to drive an hour to Walmart. Now 25 minutes feels like nothing!

Please don't tell me you did that very often. Was it Woodsville? I've gone to the one in West Lebanon, NH a few times for bulk supplies. Hopefully my paper towels and toilet paper don't come from China like most of their stock.

Just think when black friday comes you can fall out of bed into line at your Mechanicsville Walmart.

A store needs to be useful - not to mention profitable - for more than that one day alone. Going by that reasoning, every community ought to have one. As if people are not lazy enough already.

There are plans on the table for the Walmart in LaPlata to become a super Walmart.

-- But, LaPlata already seems overbuilt with THREE supermarkets (Safeway, Food Lion, and the new Giant). WalMart adding groceries too, will stretch things mighty thin. A town of 16,000 people just can't support FOUR supermarkets - one will have to close down.

It's the same way with the drugstores -- as many people have pointed out, LaPlata now has about 8 places to fill prescriptions. Ridiculous, and wasteful.

A SUPER Wal-Mart attracts people like flies to shiat. But then you have the folks like me who absolutely refuse to step foot in a Wal-Mart. The other stores will survive because it's not like ONLY LaPlata residents shop in LaPlata.

I still say, the LaPlata area cannot support Four supermarkets. Have you seen how empty and quiet the Giant store is already ? By comparison, Waldorf only has Four supermarkets (at least that I know of) and is several times bigger than LaPlata.

Waldorf folks will make the trip to LaPlata. I live in St. Mary's but work in ChuckCo and I'd much rather shop in your LP than our LP. Giant is over priced unless you really rock out on the coupons.

That would be awesome! That must be why they annexed that land at 301/Rosewick or were going to, so the town of La Plata will get the tax revenue.

Please let us know if you hear anything else. They're always so secretive.

Heard a little more on the possibility of a Super Walmart in LaPlata. Apparently the land next to the existing Walmart is nor quite suited for expansion there is some huge gully or slope that would be too close if a expansion was to take place.:shrug: My source hears that Walmart is looking at other possibilities within the town of LaPlata to build a whole new store, with land directly across from Giant and Lowes on Rosewick Road as one possiblity. Dont know what could happen to the old building if this did happen, but Walmart does own Sams Clubs who knows, would they put another Sams in Charles County.

That would be nice to clean up that area, wipe out the Farmers Market and put something more appealing to the eye.

I like the farmers market, other than the korean crap and Obama sh*t you can find some pretty cool stuff looking around and it changes weekly!
