Springtime in Media

Today (Sunday April 2) was a warm and sunny day.  It seemed like everyone was outside doing something.  We were on the Chester Creek Trail, and it was as busy as parts of the Ridley Creek State Park five mile loop.  Yes, it was busy!

We didn't take any good pictures, but we did take this one of Pinocchios in town.  They are putting the outside deck back up at the far end of the parking lot.  They also have live music out there sometimes.  Some other good places to eat outside are Iron Hill, Seven Stones, and now Brick & Brew (we have never eaten outside there, though).

Activity Around Town

There are many projects that are in progress:

The Burlap & Bean coffee shop will be done soon.

They have officially torn down the Lukoil and are now grading the site.

There is a lot of concrete work at the site of the new West End Flats. 

They have completed the frame of the first two homes at West End Walk and are going to start doing siding soon.

The fence has fallen down at the site of the future Hampton Inn.

There has been a lot of progress at the Wawa. It is scheduled to open this Spring.

DEMOLITION !!!

The old Lukoil is being torn down. Though we don't know what's going in, we have heard that it might be a new, bigger Starbucks with a drive-thru. But that might be incorrect, since we also heard a rumor going around that a Starbucks might be going into the parking lot of the Springfield Mall.  That one is also rumored to have a drive-thru.

Demolition of old Lukoil on Tuesday February 21

They have been moving quickly at the site.  It has been closed less than one month.

   

Meanwhile, the new Wawa is also moving along quickly.

Progress At The Wawa

There has been some new progress at the new Wawa site. The steel frame has started and they have a crane. Although the ground work was slow, the building is going to be going up much faster, and most likely achieve its spring-opening goal.

Progress at the Super Wawa

Look at these pictures from Saturday February 11.  If you look closely you can see some of the steel beams.  Also, there is a new sidewalk on Providence Road.

Large steel beams are on the worksite.

CLOSED!

It is February, and the Lukoil is now closed.  If we hear more about what is coming next, we will let you know.  A bigger Starbucks?

The Lukoil station is officially closed
