New look

Well, I gave the blog a new look.

Wal Mart is eyeing up two new locations for stores in Prince George's County. One is at the very blighted Capitol Plaza in Landover Hills. Great location for a Wal Mart. The shopping mall has been dead since Montgomery Wards and Hechingers closed. A Wal Mart, coupled with another larger retailer would do wonders for that center. The 450 cordior is Prince George's County's version of Rockville Pike. However, 450 is very very blighted. A Wal Mart may be the spark to make things better. The second location would be in Upper Marlboro. On the other end of 20772, at the intersection of the Beltway and Ritchie-Marlboro Road. I think Wal Mart is trying to split the difference between the Target in Largo and Forestville. However, by choosing this location, they are ignoring the other end of 20772, which has absolutely no retail at all. The best we have been able to do is a large Giant Food store and the new Home Depot. Target has eyed up a parcel of land across from the new Home Depot. Honestly, is this the best that Upper Marlboro can do? We have a per capita income that rivals most of the high end parts of Montgomery County. Yet, we have no shopping, and we must drive many miles for the same retail that other parts of the area take for granted.

Anyhow, time for me to go to work.
