Don't worry...there's always plenty of parking, especially in season, across the street at Publix.....

I'm at the Colony Publix at least twice a week. In addition, I go to the pool store weekly for pool water testing. It always amazes me how people complain about the congestion. If people didn't know any better, they'd think it was like downtown Manhattan. I really don't understand how people think the Colony area is too congested, and too difficult to get in and out of. Good grief!

More money..
Quote:
Yes this is a congested area, but congested area equals more people shopping ergo more money for Walmart. I have realized that even though people in The Bubble sometimes think if a decision does not meet their every need, it is because the developer wants more money. Is this a war, because in a war one side does not produce a beautiful, friendly, wonderful place for so many people to live happily. What don't we all just live happily. As one of six children I oftentimes didn't get my way. I learned to compromise or to ignore that fact. Life went on. |

Since building Colony Plaza, TV has added Pinellas Plaza, Grand Traverse Plaza and Lake Deaton Plaza.

That happens every time. Just wait till they open, a whole new round of complaining.

I look for most residents to shop at this neighborhood WalMart in their golf carts. Parking will be difficult when it first opens but after that.....,

However, not all complaints are without merit and not all complaints are because people have too much time on their hands. I disliked being in long lines when I was a kid in the military and I still do. I disliked congested roads and slow traffic when I was a kid and I still do............. When I first moved here I was told we were lucky because a Walmart was coming to 466. I replied I prefer it didn't because I didn't want to see 466 become a 441. Look at 466 and its frontage road today NIMBY is not solely an old age phenomenon . Now what I have come to believe from being a member on this forum for a few years now is that a sign of old age reflects those posters who continually complain about people's right to complain. What I have come to believe in life about people who complain about people complaining can be underscored with this old saw DEPENDS ON WHOSE OX IS BEING GORED Personal Best Regards: |

[QUOTE=ColdNoMore;1438768]Speaking of which, here's the biggest problem I have with Walmart (and some other large corporations).
While I applaud Walmart's growth into such a large company and provide low prices, I really wished my tax money wasn't needed...helping them do it.QUOTE] Cold, I always respect your opinion but in the spirit of friendly debate are you suggesting that Walmart should not provide ANY jobs to low income people?? A job is a job and the last I checked, no one is being forced to work for Walmart. You should also know that many low income job seekers deliberately gauge how many hours they can work before they lose Federal and State benefits. If you have a concern about wasted tax dollars, that is where I would start.
