For those of you eagerly awaiting the 160,000-square-foot Wegmans grocery store that's supposed to come to Snowden River Parkway in Columbia, the company has issued an update -- via Twitter.
"Some off site road improvements are scheduled 2 begin this summer. Currently we're hoping 2 open in 2012. Thx 4 your patience!"
So reads the post, which came to my attention as a retweet from @HowChowBlog.
"What about local labor? Say 12 volunteers each weekend. We bring our own shovels. We'll work in teams. Could we get XMas 2011?" @HowChowBlog replied.
"Did we mention Money Mag's #2 place in America to live for 2010? With Wegmans = #1 in 2011" @HowChowBlog noted later.
My tipster, a former newspaper man, was bummed by yet another delay -- and a little surprised by the way it was announced.
He wrote: "It's not the way companies announced news when I was a newspaper reporter ..."
