The Death of Common Sense!
Big shout out to all you Villagers out there!
Was cruising on 466A today and I noticed the construction at Pinellas Plaza next to the Marathon gas station. I wondered for months what it could possibly be...a new restaurant that is open passed 9PM...maybe one that serves breakfast?
Maybe a gift store or a bike shop or a beach wear store????
Then, as I read the sign for the new building I was elated!!! A BANK!
What a surprise!! Then my elation turned to dismay as I saw it was a Chase Bank. I was hoping for a U.S. Bank or a Sun Trust or PNC Bank or maybe all three. After all that shopping plaza was in need of more banks.
The only banks there now are Wells Fargo, Citizens First, First Community, Bank of America, Community First and now Chase.
I'm optimistic though. I noticed plenty of land around that area. With any luck they might consider building the three banks I mentioned above and still have room for a Fifth Third Bank, a Heritage Bank and maybe even throw in two or three credit unions to boot!
Keep your fingers crossed...I know I am!
