Towson Place

I notice that overturned carts spill over the property and the surrounding walkways and roadside. Windblown trash prevails and often there is mucky standing water in the shipping areas. Damages to posts and guardrails go unrepaired for long periods of time, giving the whole property a run-down look. The stores offer a good variety of products and prices and could be made more attractive to a wider range of shoppers with properly maintained grounds.

Towson Place has gone several transformations in the past few decades and I think they've finally hit on one that works. This is a two-sided strip mall of mostly discount stores---good one-stop shopping for clothing and housewares if you want to save money.

Marshall's, Toys R Us, and Hermann's have been there a long time. Newer stores include TJ Maxx, Filene's Basement, DSW shoe outlet (great!), Bed Bath & Beyond, and Michael's crafts. There's also a Target and a Superfresh grocery store, plus some other smallers stores.

There's not a whole to choose from as far as dining but Einstein Bagels is good and Red Robin has great burgers and fries.

Oh, there's also a Walmart but I avoid it like the plague.

There's lots of parking but you won't find a spot close to the stores during peak shopping hours.
