It looks massive

What’s better than one Wawa in Wilson? Two Wawas in Wilson. The gas station and convenience store chain is developing a second location at 5003 Raleigh Road Parkway W. beside Burger King, according to an approved city site plan and company officials. The first announced location, 2650 Ward Blvd., has faced road-related challenges that have delayed its development, but the company confirmed on Friday that Wawa is still under contract for that site. https://restorationnewsmedia.com/articles/wilsontimes/second-wawa-store-under-development/

A developer whose plans were rejected on a 5-2 vote last month by Mebane’s planning board has made significant changes in hopes of winning city council approval at its upcoming meeting Monday night. The proposed “infill” development is targeted for 60.24 acres between Mebane Oaks Road and Broadwood Acres Road. The property is beside and behind the Walmart shopping center, next to Agape Baptist Church on Mebane Oaks Road. The revised plans cut the number of proposed apartments from 320 to 294 apartments, and the number of single-family homes from 96 to 95. https://alamancenews.com/developer-revises-proposed-infill-project-along-mebane-oaks-rd/

But that’s not new.

Winston really needs a stop! They even have a nicely renovated Union Station that needs to be used!

Love this!

How about Winston and Greensboro?

Hopefully, a Wadesboro casino will be an impetus to get the Wadesboro Bypass construction sped up and just go ahead and make US 74 an interstate from Charlotte to Wilmington

SANFORD – VinFast has submitted its site plan for the huge electric vehicle assembly plant complex in plans to build in Chatham County – and it’s huge. In addition to the plan and details for buildings that are part of the site VinFast also provided a rendering of what the main building will look like. The Vietnam-based manufacturer proposes that the factory complex will cover 2.8 million square feet near Moncure at the advanced manufacturing site called Triangle Innovation Point. That compares to the 1 million square feet-plus size of Durham-based Wolfspeed’s new semiconductor plant that also is being built in the county. https://wraltechwire.com/2023/07/14/first-look-vinfast-unveils-rendering-site-plan-for-chatham-county-auto-plant/

This brings tears of joy to my eyes! I recall not too long ago, people used to say Charlotte had an exceedingly thin, scrunched up lil skyline with no width or depth. Look at it now!

He needs to stick to topics he knows. Like group sex.

Hmmm, the omission of Winston-Salem is fascinating

Although I am from the Union County area, I am not fond of it and now avoid it specifically and only for the aforementioned reason.

I am absolutely loving this late spring weather! Curling up beside the fireplace and binging Netflix for Memorial Day Weekend is a vibe.

How about Richmond and Norfolk?

Not really

After decades of robust growth, metro DC growth is flat. Wow

And Maryland has a progressive government that is only getting more progressive and pro-urban.

I-285 will connect to the Winston-Salem Beltway, or I-74.

Wait? So this spur would be named something like I-226 or I-426 because it’s a spur, not the main interstate?
