The new Waffle House in Tigertown is coming together. Construction seems to be complete but I have no opening date at this time. There is speculation that it replaced the proposed Waffle House that was to inhabit the old Daylight Dounuts on Glenn but that has not been confirmed.
There is a new traffic light being installed on Frederick Rd. on the way to Tiger Town if you are coming from Auburn. Coming from that direction there is senior living housing to the left and I suppose a future enterence to the new Tiger Town business park to the right (currently a cleared lot).
