Opening up shop...

North High Point has two new businesses on the way. Well, at least two new businesses recently got licenses.

The first is Full Kee Restaurant, an Asian food place going in on Samet Drive. I'm not sure if it's affilitiated with the Full Kee Restaurants in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Richmond. If it is, well, I liked the one in D.C. when I lived there.

And Parrish Plaza on Skeet Club Road is getting a new produce stand: Papa Don's Produce.

Jonathan,

We can depend upon you to get us the latest status on road projects. Can you find out the status of the Guilford College Road widening project? Is it still on schedule to be complete by the end of the year?

Thanks!

Jonathan,

One more while you're at it - what is the status of the extension of Piedmont Parkway across Wendover to 68? When will it be finished too?

Numbersgame,

According to the DOT, they're behind schedule on the portion of Guilford College Road from Mackay Road up to Wendover Avenue, but they have not yet revised the expected completion date, which is Dec. 1. The section south of Mackay Road is 99.9 percent complete and should be wrapped up soon.

I pulled that info from www.ncdot.org

When it comes to Piedmont Parkway extension, that's a city managed project and I'll have to check with their transporation department when I get a chance.
