Robin, if this doesn't belong on this particular forum, my apologies. I thought it might since they do offer subs and bakery items.
At first I got really excited about the headline. My fiance spent some time in Florida and raves about their key lime pie. I recall them having pretty good subs when I visited in Nashville. But then the whomp whomp hit. They're going to build in the east end, off the Snyder at Old Henry.
I get it. There are a lot of upscale housing developments in that area, but it truly feels like there's some kind of DMZ blocking better restaurants and stores from opening in the Bardstown Road corridor south of the Watterson. I've gone on the Bud Light/fried chicken rant numerous times, and here we go again.
Southpointe Commons is ready for building now (Panera has been open for several months). They just started groundwork for a pretty large retail development right across from Waffle House/Popeye's/Chick-Fil-A, and if it's full of smoke/vape shops and mattress stores, I'm going to lose my mind!
Is there any way to encourage better restaurants and stores to come to the south (or southeast) end? There are people out here with money to spend for good quality, and it gets really old having to drive 30 minutes or more for it. (On the plus side, at least the Snyder will be 6 lanes both ways at least part of the route between Fern Creek and Old Henry by the time Publix opens in late 2023).
