I for one hope it gets approved. The pit Tom Thumb needs some good healthy competition then maybe they wine be such a cesspool

Great, if they do not install a traffic light, there will be additional car accidents on a already accident prone intersection. Never mind, folks down here don’t adhere to stopping at lights or signs. Let the chaos begin.

@Tabby

I’d sure like to know where all of those “Yankees and yuppies” as you call them live in Molino, because I sure don’t see it. The only development Molino has had is a Dollar General, and that’s not saying much.

A new gas station is nice but what Molina Willy needs is a small size grocery store to keep from having to drive into Cantonment to grocery advantage or Winn Dixie. If anyone wants to open one in Molino it would certainly make money.

@Not for long—I agree. We just purchased some property in Jay. My family has owned property for 100 years and now I don’t like Molino. There’s now more Yankee’s and yuppies than locals. I’ve got pics of 196 when it was dirt. With Beulah Beltway, nothing but moving 29 & 9 mile to Molino along with all the crap. Similar to immigration. You want to come here cause of how it is then wanna change it by bringing where your from with you. So sad. At least my property value will shoot up and some yuppy will give me double what it’s worth.

This is going to be wonderful…. It looks like one of the entrances/exits (there are two—-one on Hwy 29 and one on Hwy 97) is quiet a bit past the Tom Thumb entrance at Crabtree Church Road and is quiet a bit north of the traffic light on the south bound lanes of Hwy 29. Won’t be too bad of a problem if people don’t start using the turn lane into new store as a passing lane for people turning on Crabtree Church Road. I really can’t understand WHY Crabtree Church Road wasn’t put at least 400 feet up Hwy 97 when it was built…the land was there and the county has never had a problem claiming/buying land anywhere else. Can’t they buy the land on the corner behind Tom Thumb and move the road.. rerouting it and putting a left turn lane in for people coming from Cantonment and a right turn lane in for people coming from Walnut Hill? Well…whatever happens our family is looking forward to a new store..maybe they will put a restaurant in too, we need one!

Dollar Generals and convenience stores.

Yes sir, from Muscogee Rd to Hwy 97 is going to be destroyed by an influx of development and all we will be able to do is watch or sell out and move.

All those years in the woods will only be memories when the blight of greed descends….

Making it so you can only turn with a green turn arrow will eliminate people “yielding” to oncoming traffic to turn. The competition will be good for customers and it is a growing area. I am surprised this hasn’t happened sooner.

@Molino resident; how much money are they paying you for that lot?
