Forest Hills Flap

Over at Bel Air News & Views there's been a lot of discussion about the proposed Kohl's. At the risk of drawing the ire of those trying to block it, I will be very upset if the county does a double take and decides to deny construction.
As the few previous TAA posts detail, the lots in Constant Friendship were decided on in 1987 -- and although they said signs were posted for the PetSmart, there were none giving residents any warning of what it was. We still don't know for sure what's going in across from it, just that some huge, ugly box store is being built.
If the Kohl's is blocked, it will be a direct slap in the face of the Abingdon community. It will make us here at TAA believe that Forest Hill residents are listened to because they have higher property values. (BTW, Councilwoman Chenowith -- still waiting on your reply)
If it is blocked, it will be interesting to hear what lame reasons the county council gives for blocking it. I bet it will have something to do "with the children."

Amen, by the way residents are acting you would think a strip club was opening up instead of a family grocery and clothing store. Maybe it would help alleviate traffic in Abingdon and Bel Air. I would be all for that!
