Where as that area on 124 have a lot of rich people more willing to spend their money on stuff around there. Target shopping centre has been there forever and it still does really well. They just need to put more Fortune 500 companies build up the road and add something fun in that area and it will bring all different age groups<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159514384292600782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-66869021893756560572016-06-17T06:08:14.434-04:002016-06-17T06:08:14.434-04:00Geez.

I do agree, though, that traffic is pretty bad in that area, especially at 124 and Ronald Reagan. Hey guys, think positive! Maybe all of the traffic will pull over at these new restaurants and get out of the way!Skrybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02296755145817289496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-70291379930136360782016-05-22T15:29:31.730-04:002016-05-22T15:29:31.730-04:00Why is everything getting built in Snellvillle????...Why is everything getting built in Snellvillle???? I absolutely hate the traffic and gridlock on 124. Too much retail cluttered in one area is never a good idea. Where is the smart growth??? I think Ham and Coolio are both right. Expect this area to have a decline in retail over the next 5 years. The Shoppes at Webb Gin and Presidential Markerplace have both lost tenants the past couple of years. It is just a matter of time.

Maybe they should build a double-decker highway right above the main road for people who are passing through w/ no access to local spots, and let the main road continue to serve the businesses on that strip.<br /><br />Oh wait... probably makes too much sense.Coolionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-36655898882594267152016-05-20T10:21:06.229-04:002016-05-20T10:21:06.229-04:00I very much believe Snellville is being overbuilt....I very much believe Snellville is being overbuilt. I have no doubt the area will look like Gwinnett Place in ten years with numerous half empty run down shopping centers. Of course the added tax money will be good for a few years and most of the City Council will retire and move to Oconee County by then anyway.

I will keep an eye on the project and update the blog as I hear more.<br /><br />Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-17558569944366966132016-05-20T10:07:20.998-04:002016-05-20T10:07:20.998-04:00Correction on Pharrs Road not Parrs.

The "hotel" behind Target is temporary housing for transients that are frequently being arrested. For example two "residents" this week have been arrested on Robbery charges. Unsure if Snellville needs a hotel as most people traveling to Gwinnett for business stay at establishments with immediate access to major highways like I85. No more than a month ago there were several witnesses to a man running from this hotel into the woods across the street, another motorist pulled over and appeared to call law enforcement to report the incident.<br /><br />This stretch of roadway is already hard to navigate. Gridlock traffic situations where people think it is no problem to block intersections. With maybe 10 seconds stopped they talk on their cell phones or feel the urge to text, that is until someone cuts in front of them and the middle finger and mild road rage begins. Locals have seen a lot of crazy and that will only increase as more national chains descend on this stretch of roadway. <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
