OLD FAIRHOPE HARDWARE REMODELING

According to a building department official, the old hardware store at the corner of Fairhope Avenue and Church Street is being subdivided into three new commercial spaces downstairs ... and one commercial and one residential unit upstairs.

The source did not know exactly what type of commercial businesses may ultimately locate there; the zoning is B-2.

I heard they plan to leave the current facade. Awnings and all.

That will be nice to reuse something already built instead of the seemingly constant razing and rebuilding and new structures that is going on all over town. This town has been overbuilt and there doesn't seem to be any limitation. Traffic! Who would've thought we'd be sitting through lights more than one cycle?!

So using the old Fairhope Hardware building is a good thing - it's too much to ask that it be a simple place like the hardware store used to be - everything has to be mega upscale.

I guess that's what us oldtimers remember as the Piggly Wiggly building. In the 60s it hosted Bill's Dollar Store and Fred's, discount both variety stores.

It's all good. I love showing off our little town. Some traffic inconveniencies is a sign of sustainability. Let it be.

To the commenter who said "let it be," you might notice that it's not a "little town" when there is a lot of traffic. Too late to "let it be" a LITTLE town. I have no problem with progress and letting people do what they want to with their own property. I just don't personally care for greediness. In Fairhope the rent and housing prices reflect that.

To the commenter about Nicaragua - do you read entire posts before making false accusations? Guess you didn't read my ENTIRE post where I said I'm fine with people doing what they want with their own property. That's a capitalistic attitude, so you are inferring something I didn't even write. That's what's wrong with even getting involved in comments and why I don't do social media - people do not read what is written, they just want to correct others with sarcasm. Not the point of this discussion, but there are always those that degrade things in that direction.

Must be a Auburn fan, having trouble coping with their record.

It appears the old Hardees has been leased. The old Rite Aid on Greeno at Morphy also appears to have been leased as the Lease sign is gone and renovations are underway. Does anyone know what are going into these valuable corners? I for one would like to see a Fairhope Zaxby's!
