Walmart is too cheap and brings the wrong crowd to Decatur area. 365 WholeFoods store coming to former Nalley dealership.

I had a friend that lived there and ended up moving afterwards because of it. She said, "Everything seemed fine at first, and then after 6 months, there was a traffic explosion." <br />An earlier commenter was right. I have a feeling its going to get bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-65627108777966613822015-10-19T15:58:16.284-04:002015-10-19T15:58:16.284-04:00Exactly how does a small grocery store, over 700 a...Exactly how does a small grocery store, over 700 apartment units in two large apartment buildings, a few restaurants, and several concrete parking garages benefit our neighborhood? This as opposed to 32 single family homes and hundreds of trees that are there now. Exactly how does more apartment buildings and more traffic benefit DeKalb County? This area is already a traffic nightmare with no hope for mass transit in the near future. The developer is not even putting in turn lanes on Scott Blvd to get traffic into this massive development. Walkable? Look at the Wallmart across the street. It was build about 15 feet above grade, with a set of concrete stairs leading up to this huge structure.

Don't even worry about me or what I do or the fact that I'd try to walk there because everyone's always up on that walkability and it would literally just be nice to have <i>something at all</i> to walk to that isn't Melton's or Pet Supermarket. I'm not one of those horrifically smug ~everyone should get rid of their cars and walk or bike everywhere la dee da~ people because I know that's unrealistic in almost every case, but it sure will be nice to have <i>something</i> so close at hand. <br /><br />Have an awesome weekend, if you're somehow able to still feel positive emotions anymore. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-25349383324136929732015-10-16T08:50:50.549-04:002015-10-16T08:50:50.549-04:00WTF is reasonable walking distance?
