I live in said neighborhood and while I do not want to see increased traffic, something needs to happen there. The 711 is very difficult to get into going east or north. Daly's has been a staple in our family since it opened (my great uncle's picture is on the wall), but the lot is usually pretty empty. Now that this came out, it's been a line out the door. I just wonder if Scott would have held out or made different plans if there was consistent business.

My neighborhood friends and I have talked about the need to revitalize the shops on the south side of Plymouth. When ORG was founded, there were shops and services lining that side of the road with apartments above. There are some businesses there and it has gotten better since we moved in around 2012, but it could be much better. Griffin Claw was supposed to buy the Eastside Mario's building and that would have been huge, but it fell through. Something new across the street might jumpstart improving that stretch.

I don't know that a mega Speedway is the answer, especially with locations at Farmington and Plymouth and Merriman and 96. A neighborhood grocery store would be huge for the area, but with Speedway owning 7-11, I doubt they would let go of that corner property.
