I dearly love the Beulah I grew up in, that’s why I built my home in Beulah, I wanted my sons to experience Beulah as I did. Growing up here afforded me to know what not only the love of family was and is but the love of friends, real friends. As kids it was safe to walk or ride our bikes all over Beulah, there was no fear! We all went to school together, worshipped God together in our churches, we went to our friends houses to play and it was fine with my parents for my friends parents to tear my butt up if I needed it. A previous writer stated that Beulah wasn’t just a place, it was a heritage, how true! A heritage we loved and were so proud of. I miss the dirt roads, Uncle Percy’s store, Twilleys, Halsteads, Twin Gables, Lakeside Inn, Beulah Baptist Church, Beulah Hardware, Aunt Betty’s Beauty Shop, the old Beulah Elementary School, my bus drivers Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Lee. Even my school bus drivers were kind of like mamas, I loved them! My friends meant so much to me, I loved them and still do. For those of us who were born and raised here as were our parents, grandparents and even great grandparents we know God has blessed us beyond measure to have allowed us to grow up in the most wonderful place on earth, Beulah Springs!!! Without the founders and families of this once small, country community Beulah would have been just a place but thanks to all our families, Beulah has been indeed, a heritage, a great big, loving heritage!!!

Hey let's add traffic lights and more traffic because people love that. Hey it's hard to drive on the water let's fill in the lakes with concrete. We can build concrete statues of all the wildlife people enjoyed, it's practically the same thing. Let's fill in the rivers and oceans with concrete and make huge shopping malls. When do they ask the people? I want Beulah to stay suburban that's why I moved there! If I wanted the city I would have moved there. We don't need more freaking shops, there's too many as it is.

There are so many homes going up we will need these shops. There are always those that will complain but I feel it will be for the god d of the community.

A grocery store is not a threat! (better than the unsightly bar that was across tbe street) Hopefully it IS a friendly staffed Publix, which has way more grocery choices than the others. The peeps across the Alabama line sure could use a shorter drive. Brand new neighborhoods are popping around there like weeds, these families have to eat! A grocery store is not a threat!

You can tell by looking at the design, particularly the east side of the building. It’s a pharmacy drive thru just like both Walmarts on Pine Forest Rd. Have a look at the aerial images online. It’s no wonder the developer wants to keep it secret. That’s a clue. Just about any grocery chain would’ve been better. It’s another stinking Walmart neighborhood store.
