They’re supposed to be building a new gold’s gym on highway 29 by hwy 183. We’re moving to the area and the manager at gold’s gym on Whitestone boulevard told me that they just broke ground on hwy 29 by 183. This gold’s gym would be very close to where we’re living. If someone could give me an address to something nearby I would like to drive by and take a look to see how far it is going to be from my house. Thankyou
