Flashback - Remnants of Drunk Driving in Eldersburg?

I was going through some of my pictures and I found this one. I don't think I ever posted it. This is the remnants of either reckless driving or drunk driving. It is at the intersection of Ridge Road and the north side of Kali Drive. This probably happened last year.

For those living in Eldersburg you may recall the big fight several years ago with Security Development and the surrounding neighborhoods to build high-density town houses. Well, they're not officially townhouses as they only have one entrance. The builders got around this requirement by officially calling them condominiums.


At one time either Target approached Security Development (the previous owner of the property) or Security Development approached Target about building a store on this plot of land. From my recollection, Target backed out when the Carroll County Zoning and Planning rejected Target's request to put a new light on Liberty Road. Instead, CCZP would allow a right ingress, right egress-type exit. What this means is that west-bound drivers on Liberty would not be able to turn left into the shopping center and drivers leaving Target would not be able to turn left onto west-bound Liberty Road. Instead, drivers would have to exit through the rear entrance on Kali Drive onto Ridge Road, which would be this intersection, then they would turn left at the intersection of Ridge\Oklahoma and Liberty, which is already a busy intersection.

Obviously the Target never happened and now we Eldersburgers are stuck with K-Mart, which in my opinion is just not an option for shopping, and Walmart. Need I say more?

In Target's place, we get over 200 units of this:
