I think this board needs a does anyone know post for people who are curious as to when or what something will be. heres mine.


Does anyone know what is going directly beside Walmart in Hagerstown it is a Myers Building Systems project? I heard a car dealership does anyone know what kind of car dealership or if this will be something else? Also Does anyone know when the JBGR-Villages at Hagerstown as well as the Coldwell Banker William Bennett- Lifestyle center begin construction and what stores/restaurants are going to be in these shopping centers/pad sites? Thanks to anyone that knows.

Going directly beside Walmart will be the new Hagerstown Ford. I'm not sure when the Villages at Hagerstown by JBGR/Venetian Investments plans to start construction but the only thing I know that will be there for sure is an AC&T gas station/convenience store. The rest of it will be filled with restaurants, both fast food and sit down, a bank, and there will be a hotel. As far as the Coldwell Banker thing, I'm not even sure what that is. Hope that helped a little. I'll put up a link for the Villages at Hagerstown development.

OMG.... As if their aren't enough restaurant's out at the center itself, Now they're adding 6 MORE. My Star's are we trying to paint the picture here in this town that all we do is eat???????????? Come on??????????? I love to eat yes but this is getting nut's.

Calm down Dodge, please.

Let's encourage the new members.

Welcome therams03 and formernyer.

GRRRRR, I agree with Dodge Man

This town needs jobs not more food places. JMO
It is starting to look like Frederick.

Off of rt.63 near Pilot Truck stop on the south side of 70 they are building a FEDX treminal
More trucks on rt.63 GRR. Also in the near futuer they are building a new R&L truck terminal near Huyetts Cross roads

So complain directly to the developers, don't take it out on the members who are merely asking for information. Not that you or Dodge did that, I'm just saying it would be nice to be civil in the responses.

Indeed, we are to be robots and be monotone, with no emotion or anything.



BTW welcome to the new members. Hopefully you are welcomed to this area, as I was back in 1986.

Robotic responses and that picture is reminiscent of The Jetsons, that quirky 60's cartoon. The robot reference jump started my return to The Jetson's theme song. Which reminded me of George Jetson's housekeeper, Rosie the robot. Did you know she only appears in two episodes of the original 1960s show, excluding her appearance in the closing credits, but makes many appearances on the 1980s show. Her appearance in the credits imprinted on the viewers.

OK, back t topic: Rosie the robot was an example of civility, it was programmed into her memory bank. I think all suspended posters who have a chance of returning should watch old reruns of The Jetsons. it could bring us all together. Rosie can teach about civility. See how it all relates and comes together with one robot reference.

I kike the reruns of the original Jetsons, just clarifying, in case you are wondering.

Sorry,did not know how to respond to this thread, trying to be positive. I think I stayed or wandered back to topic.

Whoops, I thought we were talking civility, now I see it is a shopping mall thread. To that topic I will have to defer to my next ride on the county commuter. So that I can see what is building out there. Thanks for the graphic, the map was helpful. It is all laid out, wow. Guess many will be happy, it is inside Hagerstown city limits so that helps the tax base.

Oh, man, CH!! Now I'm gonna have that jingle in my mind all day!! lol

"Meet George Jetson.
His Boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane his wife."


do,do, do,do, do, do......

Soooooo, a fed-Ex terminal provides a batch of jobs maybe? R & L is a good firm, theres jobs. Diesel is over 4.00 a gal. See the trucks lined up over there 24/7. I cant imagine how much $$$ is taken in daily. I see where they had a drive off that was over 800.00!!! One dirty trucker. On the restaurant note this area needs to ban AYCE buffets. Its letting people kill themselves. JMO

Off Topic:

Regarding AYCE restaurants.

Quite a few years ago, while on vacation, I saw a sign for "AYCE Shrimp", I promptly looked at my husband and said, "Hmm, wonder where AYCE Shrimp come from?" I'm kinda dumb sometimes.

And to further prove my point, on the same vacation I saw a sign with "SC Discounts", and wondered aloud "Why do South Carolina residents get a discount?" SC = Senior Citizens. Duh!

I'm so glad my husband is tolerant of my brain-farts.

Back on topic:

Citizens of Hagerstown...please don't let it turn into a mini-Frederick!

Sorry MS, but I have to agree with others, it is getting VERY nuts with this kind of developement. See the Why should we allow this thread in the Washington County thread. Same situation on the Dual at Mt. Aetna, they are tearing down that really nice house and out buildigs, and all those wonderful well established trees there at the point for the sake of a Chik-Fil-A and a bank. Great.

Jels, IMO we are already at a mini-Frederick level. I fear it is only going to get worse. But some think we need this kind of development to show when can support higher paying tech/engineering/IT/etc. kind of jobs and employees. You know to lure them here, and then have them move here because of all the wonderful restaurants and shopping malls. But I guess we are to discuss this more, we should take it here....

http://www.herald-mail.com/forums/index.ph...0&start=390

The Coldwell Bank Bennett Williams developement is opposite best buy on the other side of Garland Groh. Here is what I don't understand and this is no offense to people here. Everyone here wants us to get high tech jobs like Frederick. Then almost are just as quick to complain about Hagerstown becoming a mini Frederick. Urban growth is what will bring in these higher tech jobs.

No offense taken rams, but as I've stated in the other thread, (that we better go to before we get in trouble for being off topic in this one) how much more urban growth do we need to attract those jobs? IMO we have plenty in place already.

I thought the high-tech jobs were coming to the Former Fort Ritchie. At least that is what PMDC and COPT would have us believe.

Where exactly is this suppose to take place? I been out of the loop for awhile.

Thanks

Techies @ Ritchie? Good plan. The "Greater Waynesboro Area" has alot of techie folks, I'm always amazed at the level of sophistication that little town has, of course, you've got to overlook a lot of bib-overalls and "brushes" to see them - but they're there.

It would be great to have an employment "complex" that didn't consist of fast food joints and cheap clothing stores.

I think there should be a gas station out by walmart. Don't you?

No.

I think we need a Wal Mart up at Fort Ritchie, don't you Patton.



I heard they have camper supplies.

Why not?

If you've ever watched Scrubs there is an episode where Cox and Kelso argue just to argue. Kelso will say it's cold in here, Cox will say it's really hot. Kelso will say some idiot doctor is horrible, Cox says he is great.

I don't want to play. There needs to be a gas station there! And more traffic lights!

::Fires gun:: ::Throws grenade:: ::hides behind bunker thing::

More lights, yes. Not sure about the Gas Station. There is a Gas Station by my Wal-Mart, so I don't have to go to Hagersville any more. Thank Heavens.


INCOMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You've even got a Lowes on that side of the mountain, I forgot about that.

The only gas station is the one on W Washington on the corner by where tastee freeze used to be, and the shell which I doubt is even open half the time. Not cool.

I also think that starbucks is in a bad location. I wonder how much business they are getting.

I think there's eventually gonna be an AC&T at the Salem avenue/ Broadfording rd. corner in the future. Just don't know when.

You bet your keester we did. Woohoo, no more trips south.

AC & T is going in at the corner of Salem ave. and Garland groh blvd. The rest and most of the building's will be that of Fast food and Restaurant's and another hotel. Which I agree with the hotel their should be one in that area.

I can't wait till that AC&T is built. There's no gas station on my way to work, so that spot would be perfect for me.

I'll go to the one on Burhans but this one would be just right for me.

AC&T is going on the corner they are waiting for the county or another developer to pay for the road improvements. They cannot build until the corner of Broadfording and Salem are expanded but they do not want to foot the bill for this. I for one can not wait until we get either a Checkers or a Sonic drive in.

Cearfoss used to be a nice little menonite area with far apart small houses, the more they build up the wal mart the more crap is going to be built on that 50 miles per hour road that the John Deere place is sitting on.

Did you actually hear that we're supposed to be getting a Checkers or a Sonic at some point? Oh please please please tell me you have!

Isn't there TWO gas stations by Wal-Mart (AC&T & Sheetz).

I'm guessin' you mean the Wal-Mart in Rouzerville, right?

My "home place" is in Cearfoss, on Fairview Road.

"that 50 miles per hour road that the john...." - we used to call that the "Cearfoss Pike" , the townies called it "Salem Avenue, Extended".

I miss living among the mennonites, good people, clean farms, 3-headed children (j/k about the kids, most only have 1).

Oh, my bad, now I get it, you're talking about the Wal-Mart out by 40.

Hagerstown is only growing with restaurants and shopping centers to support all the new residents that make the commute to DC Metro area for work. They make the big bucks in theie high tech jobs in the city, then come back over the mountain to spend their hard earned $$$. This is what our city has become . If you believe anything else your head is in the clouds.
If you want to have a career in Hotel/Rest/Retail Mgmnt then Hagerstown is the place to be

AMEN to that!!!!!

No i havent heard about them only wishing they come to Hagerstown. The Closest Sonic is in Winchester, and the closest Checkers is in Frederick. Theres actually a bunch of good restaurants/fast food that the bigger citys have that I would like to have closer some i know are in the works.
Fuddruckers, Red Robin, Joes Crabshack, Qdoba, Bahama Breeze, White Castle, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Macaroni Grill, 5 Guys, California Pizza, Carrabba's, Chilis, Jack in the Box, Hooters, Whattaburger, Famous Daves, AMW, Bennigans.

Fuddruckers - Chambersburg
Red Robin - Chambersburg
Joes Crabshack - Dump, hope we never get one
Qdoba, Bahama - Never heard of them, as well as a few others

Get a CiCi's Pizza and I'm there, even if it is in Hagersburg.

They should put a 5 Guys downtown somewhere.

That would be awesome.

Ummm.... 5 Guys... Yummy!

How 'bout a Baja Fresh? Yummy x2!

A year or two ago I remember reading somewhere that we were getting a Carrabbas out beside the Bob Evans (near the Outback and Buffalo Wild Wings). So far it hasn't materialized.

Getting a Sonic would rock!

Qdoba and Bahama Breeze are both in Towson. Qdoba is a mexican restaurant chain like Chipotle but more selection to choose from like quesadillas. Bahama Breeze has great Lobster Pasta, Whattaburger is a Fast Food chain in the south. Jack in the Box is Southwest , White Castle is North East, I know everyone says we have enough but look at the waits to get in to some of these places we have such as Olive Garden its ridiculous or the wait to check out from Walmart.

ah, been to Whataburger (missed that on the list) during my trips to TX. Seen Carabas down in TX also.

I heard they had issues with liquor license.That was originally suppose to be a two restaurants Carrabbas
& Cheeseburger in Paradise That was the word 5 years ago. Baja Fresh is also really good. I dont know if you have ever went to Wegmans but they have a great food court to eat at as well.

Sonic, yes please!

Do we really need another "burger joint"?

Sonic is great it is a Drive in. Each parking spot has its own ordering speaker and menu. They bring the food to your car. They also have a different menu. Chili Cheeseburgers, Coney Foot Long hot Dogs, Cinnamon Bites and a great ice cream menu.

I want sonic for the drinks, I didn't know they had anything other than drinks, because all I care about is their drinks. And their little ice...

"Gotta get to KMart. KMart. Gotta get to KMart." Sorry It - that just reminded me of Rain Man...
