At Sparta and Commerce (NW Corner) in Belton?

no

mazzag,

Yeah, breaking ground on a pretty big stretch of dirt. One block behind WalMart. Who knows, maybe a shopping center or something. But I was also wondering if that is where one of the new schools is going in.

No not for one of the new schools. Those will crowd 317 and wheat rd. I drive by it every day and haven't seen a sign. Seems too small to have a lot of
Parking and too close to power lines to be tall.

Senior living center I think.

Another one?

I think so.

lamer than the aaron's rent-a-center opening on Lake Rd a block away.

i always hate hearing new construction is something crappy.

Yep. Its like when you're a kid, and every time a construction project starts, rumors start flying that they're building a swimming pool. Or an arcade. Or a Six Flags. Yeah, a Six Flags, right here in Bell County!!!

Then the disappointment when it turns out to be a tire distribution center.

Belton is actually getting a starbucks, so if overpriced burned coffee with proceeds going to an uberliberal leaning company is your thing, score.

None for me, thanks. Do not like Starbucks. For the very reasons you stated.

I heard it was a Goodwill store.

Well, Goodwill is certainly less lame than an old folks home. At least now I have a place to buy my suits nearby...

I think both are going in that general area, but the one under construction is the senior center I think. There was something about it in the Belton Journal this past week. Prestwick development or something similar.

What are they building next to Home Depot in Temple?

A Six Flags?????!!!!!!!!!!

probably a Schlitterbhan Expansion.

YES!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to everybody!!!!!

Heard that it is a S&W building. Suppose to be a pediatric clinic to replace that crappy portable building they have across from the Walmart.

The above message is in reference to the construction at Sparta and Commerce. I have no idea about what is being built by Home Depot.

Top Golf...lol

Next to HD, Mama Fu's, according to TDT last July:

Mama Fu's Asian House coming to Temple's Bird Creek Crossing
www.tdtnews.com/index/news/show/89965

Shopping Center changed ownership about a year and half ago, not sure how reliable the story

thanks petey

What is Mama Fu's? Is it like a Pei Wei?

Captain,

honestly, I don't know, lunched at Pei Wei once in waYco, when in town for a meeting, it was OK

www.mamafus.com has a menu, they show something like 5 stores in the Austin area, and 17 stores from New Mexico to a Carolina. It did say all Texas stores are gluten free.

Website shows a store going in on North Valley Mills

looks like it is a firestone by HD. saw a sign up today

thanks for the update, like I mentioned, wasn't sure about the story from TDT

on the flip side, the current ownership, doesn't communicate back that well,... big corp with lots of properties nationwide.

Unlike the company out of Austin who built it

Well that sucks. Was looking forward to a new Asian cafe..

Hated that mad Mongo's shut down. I actually kind of liked that place...

Saw the aforementioned sign today for in front of Home Depot.

Firestone. Lame.


A guy I'm serving on Deacon Board with is opening a battery store in the shopping center in HH. I asked him how it felt to crush everybody's dreams when they though it was going to be some new restaurant and turns out to be a battery store.


I did see that Roomstore is going to become a cinemark today as well. I'll take that one. Nice medium between the 20 minute drive to Belton and the crap of the mall theatre.

Also in new stuff news.
cabela's outpost store coming to Waco

The TDT announced a few months back that the old mall is getting a theater, AND that the Temple Mall (Premier) is getting an IMAX.

They have recently torn down the opposite (south) end of the mall from Roomstore. I assumed that was where the theater would go, but I guess not..

Part of roomstore will be a golds gym. The new theater will go where ancira was.

I'm ignorant. Where was Ancira?

Opposite end, I think. By the nightclub.

Ancira was a motor home/camping trailer sales place.
