Kohl's

[south park county]

Dirt has started turning on the Bradfordville Kohls. There is already a large parcel cleared (roughly half the size of the Publix) and it has a sign entitled Whitehead Place. Things are moving along.

Uuugh... wouldn't that be Blackheads?! Or is it that White people get white heads and black people get black heads? I've never heard of a Whitehead pimple!

Great Eye spc. Thanks for filling us in.

BTW, I passed the site on the Parkway yesterday and it didn't look like much was going on. And there was a sign up by Advantis saying "Site Available". Shouldn't that sign be down by now?

Well since you asked........Whiteheads

Whiteheads, also known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the same material, but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.

No they don't care what race you are.

^ Well great!!

While we're at it, can someone tell me what KOHL's sells. I've been telling everyone they're another JCPenny.

Hey TJ,

Check out http://www.kohls.com/main/home.jsp

They are kinda like JCPenny but I think the brands they sell are a little better.

I went to a new Kohl's yesterday in Lake land, Florida for the first time and I have admit that they have some really nice merchandise! Kohl's seem to carry everything and the prices are really reasonable. I am excited to see two of these stores open in here in Tally. :-) I can already think of a few kitchen and bedroom items I would like to purchase from them.

Foundation has been poured on the Parkway. What should we expect????

[poonther]

I hope ours is more like photo one or three and definitely not like the bunker in photo four.

Anyone know what the one in Valdosta looks like? Ours could be similar to that one.

[Florida]

I've seen the Valdosta location, pisses me off they got their's first, and it wasn't like these. Not from what I remember.

All of the permits have been pulled for the Bradfordville Kohl's so the store should begin coming out of the ground sometime in the next week or two.

I have been told that much of the land between Bradfordville and the Georgia line is in a conservation easement and that development will be limited. Does anyone have any information on this?

OleBiker,

To dream of, to plan, to complete a unique conservation project takes time, patience and a unified effort. Plans for the widening of US HWY 319 in Florida, from the Georgia line to Bradfordville (the Kate Ireland Parkway), began in the late 1980s. Tall Timbers Research Station, in cooperation with the three landowners of Horseshoe, Cherokee and Foshalee Plantations, had a vision for a gateway to the Red Hills Region with a beautiful four-lane highway separated by a natural landscaped median. With Kate Ireland leading the way, this group of landowners convinced Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) to expand the highway corridor from the normal 300 foot width to 500 feet if the three landowners would donate an additional 100 feet of right-of-way on both sides of the highway. This way the median could be wider and could remain in the native vegetation for which the Red Hills is noted. The landowners even put their land adjacent to the highway in scenic easements to keep the same vistas of piney woods in perpetuity and to prevent future roadside development.

All was going according to plan until the speed limits changed on federal four-lane highways from 55 to 65 mph, just prior to construction beginning in the mid 1990s. When that occurred, the planned scenic winding roadway with wide medians was drastically changed. Curves were straightened, and hills were flattened destroying the planned scenic medians. As a result, the medians needed to be replanted with native vegetation. Kate Ireland provided DOT with the financial incentive for this landscaping with the stipulation that the median be planted with native trees and vegetation that are fire dependent so that they can be burned using prescribed fire. Tall Timbers would assist the Florida Division of Forestry with the burning. The Kate Ireland Landscaping Project began in 2003 and plantings continued through 2004.

That was quick. Thanks.

Also the USA (urban services areas) line is right there basically at Chile HS. Of course that line can always be moved.

[Florida]

It's very difficult to get those lines moved. The changes would need to come through the state for approval.

And in that particular area, the political pressures to keep the USA as is are surprisingly strong.

[Florida]

Exactly, not only does it save tax payers money in not having to expand services, it reduces the chance of urban sprawl.

I just can't shake the feeling that KOHL's should be an anchor tenant in one of these new shopping centers coming online in the near future. I understand the desire to put the store near the Governor's Square Mall... but the Bradfordville location puzzles me. Again, I'm not an investor so I'm not going to die if this venture isn't successful, but it would seem logical to atleast consider the Fallschase development, or possibly a location closer at the Tallahassee Mall instead of Bradfordville.

I think back to when I was in Grand Rapids a year or so back and how their new mall was ancored on one side by a KOHL's and it was quite nice where it sat.

Honestly, I think they saw the money in Killearn and Killearn Lakes and sanity went out the window, since putting something like that next to the USA boundary makes no sense.
