New WalMart.

We're getting a new one 4 and 1/2 miles from our home, right next to jimmy's club. LOL!!

It's a Wally world..

I never did understand why there was such a big fuss about the one in Florence.

Great.  If I need to make a quick trip, I can walk to Walmart and be back at Jimmy's in time for two for one specials. 

Where is Jimmy's and what is Jimmy's ?

Jimmy's is a "***** bar" on hwy 72 outside madison. 

A Wal Mart shopping center is being built behind/beside Jimmy's, on 72, just past County Line Road, if you're going east.  Despite where it is, it's actually NOT in Madison.  Near County Line Rd (dividing line to Limestone County) and surrounded by Madison, Huntsville annexed that land into the HSV city limits - tax $$.  You should see a map of Huntsville/Madison city limits.  HSV goes along 565 to Decatur, through Madison.

It is so congested at the WalMart on Madison Blvd it makes sense to put one at the North end of County Line Road. There are hundreds of houses being built on CL Road. Smart planning. Several box stores are all along CL Road. The same smart planning that puts a WalMart on Cloverdale Rd. in Florence. You just can’t keep expanding residential areas to the west and force them to all go to one spot in town to shop out in the mall area. Now there’s a traffic problem. The new WM  will take some of the pressure off Cox Crk. Pkwy near the mall. All the property along Cloverdale Rd will skyrocket. I think you will see a Lowes there soon.

I have to ask what kind of bar is it? The word was blanked out. You can PM me the answer if you don't want to say or you can post the word with spaces in between. I'm just curious. Sorry.

Are you trolling?

What do you mean am I trolling? Are YOU trolling? I have no idea what you are talking about. I simply asked Jen a question. Sorry if you were offended in some way. 

That new WM near County Line road is actually just east a bit on 72.  The only big store/shopping center on County Line Rd right now is the Publix.

Surely Florence can't support 2 Lowes...  It seems the retail and grocery market in Florence is so saturated that something has to close for something to open.  I hate to see another Wal Mart open, but perhaps I'm biased as I worked at the Florence store for 6+yrs.

 County Line Road has many shopping centers, traffic is NOT congested anywhere in front of any of the Walmarts. There is a new center just up 72 from where the walmart will be, with a Target and other stores in it. Traffic flows smoothly all over, even with road construction. There have been hundreds of houses off County Line Road for years, churches, a school, restaurants, fire dept and all sorts of other businesses line it on both sides and have for a long while with NO traffic tie ups. 

Seven,  to put it politely Jimmy's is a, ahem, "gentleman's club". Although I doubt they get a lot of gentlemen in there. 

Gotcha. I hate the filter here and when it does that I can't help but be curious what was said. Thanks! 

Ok, I stand corrected.. County Line Road has more than one shopping center, but I meant only one with a 'big box' or large anchor store, the Publix.  Well, actually, the only other shopping center has a few small stores including Paradise Donuts.  Well, there's the other small retail strip with a Subway and a massage place.

Jimmie's attempted to open a Jimmies' II in Littleville and was denied a license. Residents at that time stated it would force the good girls to go wrong. Who knew?

When I was in school in Huntsville and traveling during daytime hours, Jimmie's was always open and had customers. It was also noted for several wrecks that occurred as customers left the parking lot.

When were you in school and where was jimmy's at the time? 

Counting classes I took on the Calhoun Huntsville campus before I went to UAH, I was in school there from 2000 to 2004. Jimmie's was on the left traveling east, just inside the Madison County line.

Never visited, not wished to. The place has a nasty re*p*u*t*ation.

Actually, it is a club for emotionally retarded men.

and women with low self esteem and few job opportunities

---------------------

It burned at the old location, he wanted it down a bit further when he rebuilt, by county line road, but it didn't work out. That building is now a bar/grill. Not aware of any outstanding number of wrecks in front of jimmys.

I seem to remember it burning now..  I think I was in college then.  Where 'exactly' was that and is any of that building still there and the bar/grill you mention?  For some reason, I was thinking the one that burned was in Littleville.

The one that burned was by where he is now, same area, but he built a building on down from there on 72,  just a bit up from county line road. I don't know what happened but he never had the club there, the Half Time bar and grill is there.

I live fairly close.  I've passed the Half Time, but never been in.  Thanks for the info.
