It's time to get excited, Charles County! The AMC Loews Movie Theatre in St. Charles Towne Centre is getting a much needed makeover! AMC plans to spend $4.5 Million to finally make this theater decent again.

I've hated going there the past few years, i fact I can't even recall the last time I actually sat through a movie in the old theater. The changes include a complete redesign of the lobby, concessions, bathrooms, and theaters. It's all scheduled to be completed sometime this summer, and plans include power leather reclining seats, Sony digital projectors and even perhaps an I-MAX! Anyone who lives in the Waldorf area should be thrilled with the upcoming changes, I know I am!

I remember when the theater was built, and attending movies every month during my high school years, but it's difficult to justify the ticket prices in recent years when other theaters in the DMV region are offering newer, cleaner theaters with reclining stadium seats and digital video quality. Honestly, it's a pain in the you-know-what to drive 30 miles to another theater just for better amenities, but lots of people do it.

It's a huge relief to see that AMC has finally recognized the problem and they're willing to spend millions of dollars to fix it!

Getting a bad appraisal hurts. When an appraisal comes in below the agreed sales price, it can throw an entire contract right out the window. It doesn't necessarily have to happen that way, but it is a distinct possibility. First, let's look at the "WHY" when it comes to an appraisal. A low appraisal means one of two things:

1. Your house isn't worth the contract price due to other recent sales in your area that were lower than yours.
2. The appraiser made a mistake.

You can always request a review of the appraisal if you think the appraiser made a mistake, but you (or your agent) are going to need to back that claim up with proof, i.e. other recent sales that the appraiser may have missed or omitted and the reason why you think there was an error. Hopefully the appraiser can justify changing the appraised value and the sale can continue on as normal. If not, then there are still options:

1. The seller can agree with the buyer to lower the sales price to the appraised value
2. The seller can ask the buyer to pay the difference, but understand they cannot finance that overage and would need to pay the difference in cash
3. The seller and the buyer can release the contract, and try and sell the house to someone else.

None of these options are ideal, unfortunately. If you lower the sales price, that means the seller is going to make less money from the transaction, possibly thousands less. If you ask the buyer to pay the difference, they are not obligated to say yes, and they may choose to walk away from the contract and find another home. If you do end up releasing the contract, the seller may run into another problem with the appraisal. Some types of appraisals are actually attached to your house, possibly for as long as 6 months! If the seller tries to sell it to someone else, their appraiser may be able to see the old appraisal, preventing them from writing one which is higher (and more favorable to the seller). This could make all of the seller's work trying to sell the house to someone else a worthless endeavor, so make sure you check that before cutting a contract loose.

This home is the nicest property you can find in Wakefield! Huge granite counters, a GIGANTIC master bedroom with walk-in closet and master bath, and a huge Florida room addition to the home as well!

No expense has been spared, as this home includes an in-ground sprinkler system, wireless alarm system, beautiful flooring and plenty of space! This home is move-in ready, in great condition!

Best of all, this home is not a foreclosure -OR- a short sale! You owe it to yourself to check this gorgeous home out!

What's the next greatest restaurant headed to Waldorf, MD? Apparently it's Buffalo Wild Wings Bar and Grill! I can just imagine how the conversation for that went:

"Wanna know what Waldorf really needs?"

"Higher-end destination shopping?"

"No, another restaurant!"

"Oh, you mean like a specialty place, with Asian Fusion?"

"No, I mean another big franchise chain!"

"Oh.... Something healthy, like a Saladworks?"

"Actually, I was thinking about something really different, like a bar."

"Oooh, like a themed bar? That would be different!"

"Nah, that would be too original. I was thinking about Buffalo Wild Wings!"

"Um... don't we have that already? It's called World of Wings..."

"No problem, they just went out of business!"

In all seriousness, I'm a pretty big fan of the franchise as it used to be a favorite destination back during my college days in Chicago. The plan, which has been approved by the County Commissioners, is to demolish the old Uno's building near the mall and build an entirely new building for Waldorf's latest franchise.

Despite the sarcasm I'm excited to see Buffalo Wild Wings coming to Waldorf. I still think that the next eatery should be something more interesting, however. Is Waldorf really so afraid of eating healthy?
