Walmart super store going in at Morse and 44. Why are people more concerned with shopping compared to getting out and doing something to work your body or brain? We could care less if it takes us 10 mins or 1 hour to get somewhere to shop if we only need to go a couple times a week or couple times a month. For years, we never go to a square to shop, maybe to eat once every 6 months, we go to the concerts, car shows, and the art festivals at the squares.
We go shopping up on 441 once every 6 months. But we use the sports courts, golf courses, and rec centers multiple times a day. Where are the clubs you are going to join? Where are you going to play tennis? Pickleball? Archery? Rc boats? If you rc boat at hacienda multiple times a week for example, why would you think about moving to Eastport? Move close to what you are going to do everyday!
