Barbershop rumor six weeks ago was on 466a across from Sweetbay.

At least 50% of the rumors in TV have some basis in fact.

what new walmart? am sure that the residents of Tamarind Grove would be quite upset if it were placed in their backyards? loading docks and outdoor storage, 24 hour deliveries, and dumpsters. and dumpsters loaded with disposed of food attract vermin.

We have THREE super Walmarts in the area. I doubt if there will be another. But you never know.

And of course the overnight RV owners staying in the parking lot ....
(Which I think is a great idea by Walmart ... )

It will be next to the new Costco and Trader Joe's.

Someone linked us to the plans for that area but I didn't remember seeing anything that could be that big on the plans. Can someone link those plans again to make people in Tamarind Grove sleep better? I seem to remember that area will have an assisted living and some other small retail stores.



Quelling rumors is a good thing.

It is NOT TOO FAR. When we lived in Hadley we went there. It is about a mile south of the corner of 466A and 441/27. I think it's address is Leesburg. They had some things at the time that we couldn't find anyplace else. They had art supplies before Michaels got here and I found some nice framed prints for our house in Hadley that they didn't carry at the other Walmarts.

If you go out 466A east to the post office and gas station area, turn right on 25, then left on Thomas, you will come up to the side of their parking lot without having to go out onto 441.

There was a thread on here with some people claiming it is dirty, but it's not. We were just there last weekend--clean and not crowded.
