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.

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?

BREAKING NEWS: Lukoil Going Out Of Business

The Lukoil is going out of business. A sign at their mart said that the store was thirty percent off everything because the store is closing. The clerk inside the Mart said the whole station is closing at the end of January, and something other than a gas station is coming. He didn't know what it will be.  A rumor months ago was that the Starbucks was coming there, with a drive-through, but we don't really know if that is true.

 The Lukoil won't be around to go against the Super Wawa

Traffic Flow Problems at the Hampton Inn Site

There have been some traffic problems at the possible new site of the Hampton Inn. Ever since they took the gates away from the entrances to the parking lot, people have been cutting through to avoid the intersection. I saw a plumbing truck cut through yesterday. And since the Hampton Inn has not been built yet, there are no cars in the parking lot to stop people from cutting through.
