Odds, Ends

** The Fallston Walmart is slated to open on March 16, so maybe this will alleviate some of the traffic in Constant Friendship when shoppers realize that even after a facelift a few years ago, the Abingdon Walmart still is lacking when compared to newer stores. The Fallston Walmart will have groceries, and we're guessing a less insanely designed parking lot.
** The newly formed Abingdon Community Council has a new Facebook page, if you are social media-inclined.
** The "opening soon" Pelican Cove is sporting new signage.
** A sure sign of spring, the Rita's on Emmorton Road is now open.
** Abingdon Elementary is getting a new playground. Money is coming from the school, county, PTA and private donations (which are still being accepted). We are excited because let's face it, there is no decent playground in Abingdon.
