Desoto County folks. Avoid Airways at all cost

Outlet Mall open. People are crazy.

Im fortunate enough to work in the area and have to deal with this for the next 6 weeks

Man, I had to be up there for the grand opening hoopla this morning. It took me 45 minutes to get from my parking spot to the exit. Once inside, plenty of room to shop and get in stores. Also, there was a couple from HGTV I had never heard of, Chip and Joann something, there for a meet and greet. Holy ****, you would have thought Elvis was there with the amount of people that showed up to see them.

I saw them parking people at Landers Center and bussing them over. Traffic if insanity.

Absolutely hate they opened that place. I live in olive branch and using church to i55 worked nicely......now that will be a thing of the past.

All for a bunch of crap you can buy cheaper online

Besides traffic being an issue, that thing is great for Southaven. Property values and economic growth around that mall are going through the roof. Since I live close by and have a job dependent on economic growth, I'm thrilled with it. They are also going to 10 lane I-55 from Goodman to just south of church in the next 2 years which will alleviate the traffic issue. But yes, for the next 2 years, it will be a nightmare. Little secret. Turn left off church onto getwell, go down and take a right on star landing or a little further down on pleasant hill. Pleasant hill gets you to 55. Star landing to 51.

I would also like to add that I bought 2 pairs of Clarks today for a hell of a lot cheaper than I could buy online.

I'm with you. Ultimately it's a good thing. But it's just gonna suck until they get this traffic stuff finished

Until the thugs take it over, like they have Jackson! Punks love retail

I just drove by it going south on airways. The parking looked nuts, but I got past it pretty quickly. I don't believe after the holiday shopping it will be much of an issue. I have seen those malls all over the country and they are not always that busy. Also for commuters here, it should not be an issue for the morning rush since it won't be open. Church Rd from OB has gotten more and more crowded over this past year anyway during that 7 to 8 period. I usually turn north on Elmore and then take the cutover road to airways. That has been working well lately. Don't forget that once 69 gets completed that will help also.

Nothing brings the hoodlums like Chip and Joanna Gaines**

Joanna Gaines is kinda hot. Just a random thought.

Not so sure it will help residential property values. I think a lot of people would be turned off living close to even more traffic

How long before the first smash and grab I wonder?

Rock and a hard place. Isn't Hillary in memphis?

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Road improvements are on the way to help alleviate it some but it's going to be terrible until then.
