like I said before...
s-l-o-w a-s a s-n-a-i-l-s p-a-c-e!
I figured we'd at least know exactly what was going in over there by now...

| My handle is johnboy and I will tell anyone interested that I am very much interested in this project, because I am a resident that will be using this intersection and we certainly cannot use anymore traffic congestion at this section. If you think I am kidding just be close by this area, say 7:30 am till 9:00 am and see it first hand and it returns in the afternoon when the same vehicles plus a whole herd of trucks are trying to get to their destinations. It is going to get worse with all of the developement plus the commercial building that is going in place and I use this location as an example. Someone is not looking out for the interest of the people and are more interested in the dollar and to heck with the public. They will cheat and lie when it comes to their benefit as far as the greenback is concerned and they do not care who is caught in the middle of this fiasco. Listen up voting and taxpaying public you are going to get railroaded if you do not attend the TC meeting and be heard with your opinion and it does make a difference. Thanks......Johnboy

Excellent point Johnboy, those that get involved in their community are those who make a difference. The TC meetings are an invaluable source of that information.

| I used to drive down 68 every day going to work. Now I have found a different way to go and just avoid 68 altogether. I agree that this development here will be a deathblow to any movement on 68 in the morning or afternoon. It's already bad enough. Any development anywhere on 68 is just a mess.

Your right Johnboy. Giving your opinions at TC meetings does make a difference.
But I'm interested in knowing who you say is "more interested in the dollar" and will "cheat and lie when it comes to thier benefit"? Is there something we don't know going on? That sounds like some pretty strong acusatoins.
Don't get me wrong. I don't like traffic on 68 anymore than anybody else does.

well, y'all don't stone me or anything... I can't wait for this place to open up especially if it has a drive thru restaurant! 
I just cannot understand why the construction is moving so slowly! are they paying for it as they go along? What about the other business they were planning across the street or something? No word at all on that lately!

That construction site has to be the ugliest construction site that has ever been witnessed in Northwest Guilford County. It is a shameful disgrace to even the lowest measure of decent construction practice and sound development process.
The powers that be (i.e., the Town Council) who used no less than stinking thinking to vote favorably to allow this mess should ride by and see what they have inflicted on an otherwise nice group of people and community of citizens. They should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this ugly elephant to be a part of our community.Last edited on Oct 30th, 2006 01:11 am by Jim Flynt

Mr.Jim , I do agree with you about the unkempt look. Will the completed project have better upkeep? Sure hope so or else it will look like a certain heating and air business.

just a little info. on the building going up. The owner/developer also either owns or built the new truck stop and Huddle House on 220. Word on the street is that he builds as he gets the money. Anyway its also how Sheetz got started.

If he has any interest in the operation of the Huddle House, I hope someone gets the word across to the management that the woman with the long hair who is an asst mgr or something needs to wear all of that stuff pulled back! It is disgusting to see her hair all over people's food when she is serving it! We quit going because of the incident about a week or so ago when her hair was all in someone's bacon! ewwww!
I figured they were paying as they go.... thanks for the word!

I saw in the NW Observer recently that they've had a couple of setbacks (wrong equipment ordered, etc) but hope to get this project done in near future. I notice intermittent work as I drive past....
I wonder if folks in the area will hold true to their word and not give it business, as they stated when it was being approved...

| I still think that is the ugliest construction site in America and the building is shaping up to be one Pink Elephant of equal unattraction. I know of at least one 'local' that will not be patronizing the joint.

There are many words to describe this project. The latest word is
Another is INCOMPLETE... at many levels besides the obvious. The building image that was presented to the various town approval bodies was incomplete. They never showed the overbearing awning attached to the building. Look at the building facade representation on their construction sign for proof.
It's like attaching a false nose & glasses to Mount Rushmore. 
This entire project is a misrepresentation. Approved by two TC members (vote was 2-1) over the objections of many. Remember this project was turned down by the planning board.
Beware the next impact from this project.
