Overall I'm not a fan of August. I have a couple of wonderful birthdays to celebrate during the month but mostly it just means summer is coming to an end and school is starting soon. Feels like they put the back to school stuff out earlier every year! Every day feels like Sunday. Things are moving too fast and I try to dig my heels in and try to stop it from happing but its inevitable. What can you do but try to enjoy every day with your friends and family because at the end of the day that's what is most important.
Since this was mentioned a few times I figured I would post it. These are the new apartments going up along Route 6 in La Plata. There will be 37 units with high quality fixtures. They will be mostly two bedroom units but a few will be one and three bedroom as well ranging from 900 to 1200 sf.
At Fox Run Shopping Center the Burger King is now open and it looks like Tropical Smoothie is the last one yet to open in the new strip center up front. Open tenants include MOD Pizza, Great Clips, Starbucks, T-Mobile. Popeye's is finishing up and should be opening early Fall.
Brandywine Village is under construction at the entrance to the Chadds Ford residential development. So far they have 7-11, Taco Bell, Tropical Smoothie Café and Navy Federal Credit Union signed up.
O'Reilly Auto Parts is taking over the former Rite Aid in Waldorf next to Chick-fil-A. Renovations are under way at 3385 Crain Highway. O'Reilly is new to Maryland so this will be one of the first locations.
