Despite some community resistance, the planning commission in Forest Acres has approved the Cardinal Newman redevelopment plan. It now moves to a council vote. And in West Columbia, the Brookland development is facing opposition to the density of the project. In both cases is that increased traffic is the biggest concern.

And I’m hearing good things about The War Mouth in Cottontown. More independent restaurants is always a good thing. Can’t wait to try it out. And I hope the momentum continues from downtown over Elmwood and up North Main Street.

Still trying to figure out what the next step for my retail blog will be, but until I figure that out, I’ll be posting here on Mondays...
