I could think of better fast food choices for this spot. But we've always known that the chains, fast food, big box stores, etc are coming to Hwy 98. And Hwy 331. It will explode. I just hope for good planning, design and leadership here in SoWal.

Also, we can remain thankful that 40% of land is preserve. Including some of Hwy 98.

98/331 is already tacky. A well designed fast food place isn't going to look worse than some of the neighbors at 393/98. Including those that have been there for years.

There are a lot of people that work their butts off making 30A the paradise that it is. Affordable housing is fast becoming a thing of the past. At least let them have a place to get a cheap burger. Not a $12 30A burger.

Let's try not to be too damn stuffy, K?

From the "for what it's worth department", that pre-planned area on the north side of 98, at the west end of 30A, is a great place to put a bunch of fast food places. Unless someone thinks the beauty of the Exxon station would be ruined.

Further, the area of 98/393 isn't meeting many aesthetic standards now, is it?

More tacky is just more tacky. Not OK. Let's try not to be too damn tacky, K? :sarc:
