March 2023 Updates

Happy March!  Spring is quickly approaching.  Sunshine, easter, daylight saving time, and warmth are on the way.  We have had a mild winter so it hasn't been that bad but I would rather have non jacket weather.

A new Splash In Eco tunnel car wash is now under construction in La Plata.  It will be located at 6365 Crain Highway next to Mc Donald's.

I searched the past year for a hint as to what is happening at McDaniel Road and Middletown Road adjacent the water tower. Alas I could not find anything.

Can you let us know what is being built there?

There’s a housing development approved for that area. It could be that. Townhomes and detached homes

Chris Shasho said...

Yes Residential.

Any updates on the halal location near the new Pilates studio in waldorf?

I was at both meetings for this and added my comments about both those places coming to Charlotte Hall. Mr Rosemore was more then willing to make changes when asked about different things that the planning board brought up at the first meeting. He is spending alot of his own money to make all the traffic improvements to include the new traffic light that will be installed. This new light will help with some of the problems at the Golden Beach intersection. I actually was sitting next to him and his son, nice people. This new development will give CH a fresh new look and clean up the eyesore of the Farmers Market area.

Charlotte Hall will become nothing but traffic lights making an already conjested area even worse.

Any news on Raising Canes opening date? The traffic situation is awful.

Will there ever be any development on the land located at the corner of 228 and Western Pkwy, behind that small electrical facility across from WaWa? I’ve seen a Shasho sign there forever.

Also will there be any development right across from the Hamilton Park neighborhood on Western Pkwy?

Chris Shasho said...

Im glad you got to speak with the owner. New development is a big undertaking.

Because you dont have public water and sewer you wont see the same amount of development as waldorf.

Raising canes says early May. We will see. Nothing has been on time lately.


Over by western parkway Some land was bought by the electric co being the current station. There is still land available for purchase.

Is there going to be any more development at the Technology Place site near silver diner and cvs? I heard Panera was going to out a stand-alone store there at one point.

Chris Shasho said...

Panera will move over to the parking area next to silver diner in the future so they can be freestanding.

There are contracts pending on most of what's left over there. The shopping center also has two strips of land for retail expansion but I don't see that coming any time soon.

Chris, I noticed they have fenced and started clearing the land next to CarMax on the north side by the Golf Cart dealer, do you know what is being built?

jamwen66 said...

Chris, I see that on the north side of CarMax in Brandywine a contractor has fenced and started clearing the empty lot, do you know what is being built?

Chris Shasho said...

You wont see much retail down in newburg. Just dont have the population for anything big.

I'm not sure what created the car wash craze. Maybe they all went to some franchise seminar?

Clean up in what way? Property owners taking more pride in their buildings? People not being such pigs and throwing their trash away properly?

We sold an acre to the Haven dispensary to build their own building. they will move from the other side of the highway. They are currently leasing.

Just a little bit of levity Chris.

I see finally work is being done to tear down old motel in Charlotte Hall to make room for Chipotle.

Anonymous said...

It looks like there could possibly be some asbestos abatement happening at the motel.

The old Charlotte Hall McKays now has the new Shoppers Food Warehouse sign up. Still not open. Any ideas how soon the grand opening will be?

Anonymous said...

Yes there is.

I'm sure they're abating more than asbestos from that mess.

Any chance of getting a Home Skillet's around the 'Dorf?

Anonymous said...

Homie got Skillet's.

I saw the Shoppers sign, looks to be a temporary sign, also the name McKay's Plaza is gone and renamed North Side Plaza, think thats what I saw. Chris dont let that guy on another forum get under your skin. Guess he wants to keep everything cornfields and farm land.

Chris Shasho said...

I thought the shoppers were trying for June opening. Things are always changing.

Yes I was assuming that there would be some nasty stuff in that hotel that would need to be removed. Its been around for a long time.

Where are home skillets located? If they aren't close its a stretch to get one here.

Thanks for all your comments. I try not to let the negativity get to me. Especially when its things I have no control of.

What's wrong with cornfields and farmland? Why does every piece of land have to have something built on it.






Anonymous said...

The reason the cornfields and farm land is going away is because of population growth. Families are looking to move out to the country and get away from the busy DC areas due to higher rents and home prices.

My mistake, from a previous post old McKays's Plaza is now North Gate Plaza.

Whats going on in that yellow bldg on Washington Ave., LaPlata? New tenants/owners identified?

Hey Chris, what is going in the previous Modells Sporting Good spot? I saw some workmen going in and out today.

Chris Shasho said...

DSW is moving to modells spot. Just posted.

The yellow building is going to be a new treatment center for all types of mental health, eating disorders, drug rehab, etc. They are adding on to the building. I was waiting for them to open.
