HUBBUB: Thoughts on Crestview businesses, growth

CRESTVIEW — Numerous crestviewbulletin.com and Facebook readers shared their thoughts on recent news reports. Here are some of their comments.

NEED DIFFERENT BUSINESSES

We need to put money into expanding Ferdon Boulevard to a four-lane highway and put a light at Cracker Barrel Road. It's bad enough that we have had four accidents there in the past month.

And we need another Walmart and Publix like we need a hole in our heads.

How about a Kmart, Target, Kohl’s, Macy’s and maybe a Home Depot. A mall would be nice too!

Just a few things off the top of my head.

ANTICIPATING PIZZA PLACE

As a native New Yorker, I couldn't be more ecstatic! Hope they ship NYC water down here for their dough to get that authentic NY pizza pie flavor/crust and make real calzone with ricotta.

Madonna mi, my mouth is watering! I have to go back home for real pizza!

EXPERIENCING CRESTVIEW’S GROWTH

I remember when there were no fast food restaurants in Crestview!

Tonight, as I was driving home on South 85, the 5:30 p.m. traffic headed north to Crestview was backed up 2 or 3 miles south of the bridge. Amazing how much the Hub City has grown in 40 years!

REGARDING WINTERFEST

People always complain about not having anything to do around here but then don't patronize events when they do happen. Support your local businesses!
