As a local resident, I keep waiting to hear what restaurants we're getting. Or should I say "restaurants"? The new center will visually look nice but I'm not sure we'll get anything new or exciting as I had hoped. Also, that shopping center was always more difficult to get in and out of than the current Burtonsville Crossing. By moving Giant over there they are creating a traffic nightmare. Anyone who has ever tried to make a left out of McDonalds knows what I'm talking about. I still say they should move Burtonsville Elementary and rezone the whole area. Sidewalks. Updated buildings. Stand alone restaurants with patio seating. No more strip malls. And does Burtonsville need a million mechanic/car shops? Oh Burtonsville, how I wish for more for you...Steve Ammannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164981937805535335noreply@blogger.com
