Carolina Kitchen Brandywine

Carolina Kitchen has announced it will finally open in the fall of 2015.  It will be located in the Brandywine Crossing Shopping Center in Brandywine, MD.

UPDATE 12/2/15 Not much construction going on.  Opening will prob be pushed to late winter.


UPDATE 2/26/16 There has apparently been no communication with anyone on construction and when they will open.  I have tried to get in touch with the owners but there has been no response.  It's very frustrating.  Will they open?  No idea.

UPDATE 1/3/17 Sign has gone up on the building, they look to be very close but still no communication.  I'm thinking a month or so.

UPDATE 1/10/17  I have been told by the landlord that the restaurant was having inspections done so we may be within a week or so from opening.

Maryland Airport Flying High

For many that don't know, Maryland Airport is a privately owned public use airport located in Pomonkey, MD and has been around since 1945.  Currently the runway is 3,740 ft which fits well for small engine planes and small private jets.  It can also accommodate helicopters and has fuel on site as well as hangars available for storage.  The airport also provides support for state and local law enforcement and emergency services. 
What many also don't know is that its part of the Federal and State integrated transportation plan which designates the airport as a reliever for Regan National.  So basically if there is an emergency they can divert small corporate aircraft here if needed. It is the closest regional airport outside the no-fly zone.  Future plans are to add a small terminal and extend the runway to to 4,300 ft to attract more businesses users and also people that want to fly into the area for the attractions nearby like the National Harbor.  This will be a great help and can create jobs that coincide with the airport like aviation engineers, technicians and maintenance workers.  From a 2013 economic impact study it is reported that the airport contributes more than $9 million annually in the form of direct and indirect business revenue.

Dairy Queen coming to Lexington Park

We have leased the former Arbys in Lexington Park to Dairy Queen.  Renovations should begin very soon and be open by summer 2015.
