I am Back!

Well, after months of inactivity, I am officially back! since the last major post, there has been a lot of activity going on with weaverville and northern Buncombe County... Lets talk about development, since I am so interested in it... First off... Hometrust Bank moved to a BIGGER, better branch at 5 Northridge Commons Parkway (beside the ABC store), it has a beautiful fireplace,flatscreen tv, and 4 drive thru lanes with an ATM. 2nd: Weaver village has started construction between the weaver blvd Ingles and the Main Street redlight. It is 13 acres of mixed-use with construction expected to wrap up by Labor Day. Zaxbys, Goodwill, and POSSIBLY Aldi's and FATZ CAFE is expected to open. 3rd: Dairy Queen and the Rebuilt Shell gas station is expecting to open to the public by 10 am, June 1st 2011. Went by there today and they still have a ton of work to do; including installing the gas pumps, finishing the brick and stone work, and pave. The Dairy Queen is going to have a drive-thru.

Northridge commons update

For a full year after Walmart and Lowes (the 2 anchors of the center) opened their doors to the public, here are the tenants...

1. GameSTOP
2. U.S. Cellular
3. ABC Liquor
4. LG Nails
5. HomeTrust Bank (OPENING DECEMBER 2010)

It seems FOREVER for any other store to open in the center. If you had the choice what would you like to be going into the center?

One more thing, I have looked at the centers website and the site plans CHANGED AGAIN! It looks like we might be getting a 60000-70000 sq. ft store (KOHLS, JC PENNY, BELK in the making in possibly 2011??) which will be to the left of Walmart in the huge empty field, and a possible Dollar Tree. They have also moved the weaver house (the empty victorian house behind walmart) across the road to a small 1/2 acre lot and they are restoring the home to accomodate it for offices. I will try and keep you all informed for the latest news on this center.

Ok I am back!

After several months of no activity, I am back to blogging. Thank you to all of my followers on the site for your support.

Liquor by the Glass?

I am currently following the voting results of the LBTD for the town of weaverville. So far it is leading FOR 507 to 246. I predict us getting it. If so, what kind's of Restaurants do you think Weaverville will Get?

ATTENTION

I appologize for the LONG lull... My camera went on the fritz and I am waiting for a new camera before I do anymore posts. This site will be back on track shortly...
