June 2024 Updates

The month of June is a time when the sun shines brightly and the days are long. Time to enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, barbecuing, and going on vacations as the kids are getting out of school. June marks the beginning of summer. One of my favorite times of the year.  I started my summer having my gallbladder removed.  Apparently it didn't like my eating habits.  Drink water people.  Lots of it!

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.” - Mark Twain

I should have taken this advice.  I spent too much time this weekend dealing with people talking trash about me on Facebook.  Apparently when I post what's coming some people think it's all my stuff.  They think these are all my projects and all my developments and I make all the decisions on who comes to the area. Like I personally decide to put four chicken restaurants in an area.  99% of what I tell you about I have absolutely nothing to do with.  We don't own any properties besides our office space we occupy.  I'm just informing you of what's happening in the area because I don't like rumors flying around and its kind of fun to do.  I'm trying to educate.  But these Yo-Yos hold me personally responsible for every tree that has been taken down in Southern Maryland and every nail salon.  You try to educate and explain and its like talking to a brick wall.  I know better to engage but when they try to defame you you better believe I'm going to respond.  And I'll go the legal route if I have to.

Because I've been asked about this project I looked up whatever information was available.  In Brandywine by the GMC dealership they are clearing land for this project called Calm Retreat. It is a 72 acre site that is said to have around 850 residential units and maybe three small commercial buildings at the entrance.  Concepts are always subject to change.
Navy Federal Credit Union and Pizza Hut Express are now open at the Brandywine Village Shopping Center off of Chadds Ford Drive in Brandywine.

Atrium Spirits liquor store is now open at 37680 Mohawk Dr, Charlotte Hall.

For some reason the Beauty Island coming to Waldorf Shoppers world in place of Bed bath and Beyond has changed the name to Beauty Town.  Looks like they are getting close to opening.

WMK Appliances is opening soon at Waldorf Shoppers World.  This will be their third location in the DMV area. 3228 Crain Highway
Old Navy shows opening this summer at the Shops at Waldorf.  They are now hiring.  

Saladworks is showing a grand opening date of August 6th at the Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center.  15802 Crain Highway next to the UPS Store.  This is their forth location in Maryland.  Dates always subject to change.
