I’ve heard Publix the 2nd week in February.

I think the bridge will open shortly there after.

Hopefully by Valentine’s Day.

Say WHAT!!!! LMAO it's not even April fools day

Visited bridge site recently. My engineering opinion and seeing level of work activity on both sides of the bridge, I'd suggest we are still months away from completion.

Publix will open well before.

SafeShip is now open, and I was the first customer on Monday.

You don't need to understand it, you don't need to shop there, but yes, there are savings on some things at other stores. We shop Walmart, Aldi's and Publix....actually my wife does. When I shop I go to Publix at Trailwinds because it's closer and it's one stop for everything. We don't get alcohol because, as stated, nobody drinks in TV :)

And don’t forget all the people
