Awesome!

They are both going to be really really bad for me!

DH will be devastated that the Bass Pro rumors are no longer true....

RachB · June 2011

Awesome! But this is going to be dangerous for me....This AND Wegmans are going to be within walking distance for me.

My DH is going to be pretty bummed too!

Very Cool. Definitely needed something else over there.

jadebaby · June 2011

Oh wow. I have never been to a Homegoods.

My DH will also be disappointed that the Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World won't be going there.

I am irrationaly excited about homegoods!!! I saw this and called bff immediately so we could squeal together! Woooohoooooo!!!!!

Actually Bass Pro is probably still coming. DH knows one of the contractors or something and they said it might replace the Walmart over by the Target since they are making a Super Walmart by Patterson Mill. I am 100% for this move!! Get Walmart out of there

I am so excited for this. Home Goods and DSW top my list of stores I've been wanting in Harford County, and I'm glad an existing retail space is being used for them.

I thought harford county refused zoning to move the walmart. Seeing as there is a brand new super walmart in bel air/fallston as it is and there isn't really a need for a new one. Not to mention that would just spread the crappy traffic even further. I really hope they don't move the walmart, it seems like a waste.

I don't know the details, but I do know that WalMart's MO is to move stores around, typically because they get tax benefits/breaks for a certain number of years, then when those benefits dry up, they move to get new ones.

Hmm...I'll have to ask DH if his friend is right. DH told me this last month, so it could have changed. Traffic is horrible at that shopping center and living right down the street I am all for traffic getting out of my area

But replacing that walmart with a bass pro isn't going to lessen traffic, at all. In fact it might increae traffic since bass pros are so few and fat between it will draw a larger crowd from further away than a walmart which caters to local shoppers. I hate to say it because I am hella excited for it but once wegmans opens that whole area is screwed anyway. The crazy huge amount if shoppers wegmans draws will devestated traffic in that area. It sucks but the planning for that area is/was horrendous. Only having one access road for WM, Target, Lowes, and BJ's is beyond stupid.

Unfortunately I agree with all of this. It's going to be completely, totally awful, and then the holidays are going to start. Sad

Good points.....ESPECIALLY about the entrance roads. I guess my HATRED for Walmart is excited if it gets as far away from me as possible.

A friend of mine lives toward that end of Bel Air and is on a crusade to keep that move from happening. It sounds like such a flucking nightmare to me, exacerbated by extreme hatred for WalMart and wishing the entire franchise would die.

That can be very very dangerous!
