Oaks Shopping Center Getting Closer to Opening

It has been over a year since construction started on Oaks Shopping Center at the intersection of Black Rock and Egypt Roads, in Oaks, PA. Originally, the center was to open in the autumn of 2013. Inclement weather throughout 2013 kept construction behind schedule. As the winter weather finally begins to recede, construction gets closer to completion.




Wendy's is hiring, as you can see by the sign.


Penn Liberty Bank from Egypt Rd side and behind with servers from Uno parking along the roadway.



Concrete is being cut in front of Wawa. Their fuel pumps are in place under the large canopy.




The stores in the rear of the center are not quite as far along as the bank, Wendy's and Wawa seem to be.

This is an overall view of the center from the corner of Egypt and Gumbes Rds. On the lot in the foreground the Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill will arise. 

It won't be long before bright lights shine all night long, day after day, everyday of the year combined with the odor of burning beef and chicken wafting through the air.

Another Barn Falls in Lower Providence Township

April 2011
April 2011

I've seen two barns torn down in Lower Providence Township within the last few years to make way for new houses. Within just the last two months another barn fell. This time it was not torn down. It collapsed.

In October 2013 it was obvious the barn was in trouble.

30-odd inches of snow was the last straw.

I am sorry to see another bit of history go.
