Even as vacant lots go, it's not very attractive.
The vacant lot at Abrams and Richmond that is supposed to become a shiny new retail center recently got a bit more vacant.
For more than a year, a sign with the name and telephone number of CDC Real Estate Corp. stood in the lot affixed to three wooden posts.
Now, though, those posts are bare. We can't help but wonder what that means.
Turns out there's nothing untoward going on over there, according to CDC spokesman Robb Parks. He said the company got inundated with calls from people looking to lease but lacking the neighborhood appeal the developer wants to maintain so they removed the sign.
Stay tuned for the next installment of "Retail Coming ... Eventually."

A developer who got too many calls to lease their non-existent building. So they take down the sign and leave the lovely posts sticking in the ground where no construction is taking place. For more than a year. Boy, I want to believe them....

How about a real service station. At $4 a gallon you might get someone to wipe off your windshield !! I remember when Gil Johnson owned a Humble station, Now that ages me, he had a worker we called TBA, Tires Battery & Accessories. He made a good living servicing autos that came in for a 25 cent per gallon fill up.
