August 2022 Updates

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.

IL Gusto Ristorante will open August 22nd in the Rosewick Crossing Shopping Center in La Plata.

230 Rosewick Road.

Chesapeake Doughnut Company has opened in the Westlake Square Shopping Center. 3350 Middletown Road in Waldorf.  This will be their third location.

March 2020 Updates

March is here!  Early Spring weather or a last minute blizzard?  You never know.  I hope the new year has brought you good things. Stay healthy and wash those hands.  Make smart decisions.
With the recent things going on in the world there are a lot of things closing for our safety.  Venues, Gyms, Restaurants only able to do take out, etc.  Please be patient with people. We are all in this together and we are adapting to this as quickly as possible.
Get your information from good sources to keep track of whats happening like the Center for Disease Control:   https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html



Here's whats new:

Marshalls will have their Grand Opening April 2 at the Landing at Woodyard.  8895 Woodyard Road, Clinton, MD.


So the Shoppers food Warehouse in Waldorf will open back up as Shoppers again.  I am not sure why.  From what I understand it is still owned by McKays.  If I hear anything else about it I will post.  Have not heard about the St. Mary's site yet.

Taco Bell and 7 Eleven will be coming to the Brandywine area at the Brandywine Village project to be built in front of the Chadds Ford residential neighborhood.

Five Guys has officially opened in its new location in La Plata next to Panera bread.  Their former store has a lease pending.

Donut Connection and Hershey's Ice Cream has opened at 22807 Three Notch Road in California, MD.

Its time for the 2020 Census.  This is very important for everyone to do so we get funds for our state and counties different departments.  It also give us the numbers for how many people are in the county so when those new stores and restaurants want to come they have that information.  You should be getting a code in the mail soon.  It takes only a few minutes to fill out.  Please participate!   https://2020census.gov/
