Guess Who's Moving into the Neighborhood

Walmart.

Yep, that's right. Rumor has it that Walmart is 30 days out from purchasing the old Oshman's property at Hwy. 45 & Wayside.

Residents are anxiously awaiting confirmation from the city regarding the development, but unless someone has a lot of time on their hands to develop a faux site plan, it looks pretty official to me.

Looking at the site plan that was circulated through our neighborhood, it appears that the store will have access from both the Hwy. 45 feeder road and Wayside. The intersection is already horrific at times, so I can't imagine adding more traffic to the area.

And boy do I look forward to all of the plastic bags blowing into my yard! I thought the leaves were bad enough.

More details to come, but I'm thinking that our Civic Club will be very proactive when it comes to approaching the developer about the proposed plans.
