I lived in Bowie for over 40 years and the transformation of Hilltop Plaza has been good and bad…read more The plaza looks good and has been maintained well. It has gone through a couple of face lifts and management here has kept up with the times. The 7-11 might be the only original shop in the place. The Chinese restaurant has been there for a while, but I don't recollect if it is an original shop. Having said that, a number of grocery stores have come and gone. Target and Track Auto are no more. The Advance Auto is the 3rd replacement in the plaza. One of my favorite restaurant, the Bowie Inn is no more. Sadly. Outback has replaced it and that is not the same. Marty Cards is gone (which was originally in Belair Shopping Plaza). Planet Fitness is there and the back has some shops, but not necessarily the popular ones. Some idiot designed the parking lot. Only two entrances that funnel cars. The parking lot, a maze trap, was redesigned and once you get in, the traffic pattern is bad. A number of shops built in the middle of the parking lot also reduces the parking spaces. Looks like management wants the maximum number of shops in a limited space and didn't consider the consequence of really terrible parking.

It was a sad day when Jason's Deli left here, as they were a pretty good restaurant. Now they have some others, but they aren't exciting. There is a Whole Foods here. Also they have a Noodles and Company, with a Starbucks that provides an occasional caffeine boost. Bassett Furniture has an occasional deal, and some people really love Orange Theory. Personal opinion would rather have a full gym instead. On a plus note it's close to Tyson's Corner Mall, and the parking situation is a cinch.

First off kudos to the developer for a completely new design. My guess is the next door luxury townhouses that sell for close to a million each, had considerable influence on this. I'm still trying to figure out the ugly modern art deco crap clock across the street. My best guess is underneath that is it is a phone tower for cell companies. There are plenty of parking spots here. Also entering and exiting, while still entertaining, have been improved upon. The Celebrity Delly, yes that's how it's spelled, is a phenomenal restaurant. It is a favorite of mine. Yet the Subway next door isn't all that impressive, or the McDonald's and Exxon. There is a decent haircut spot for my son. Giant here is huge! This could be one of their biggest grocery stores in the chain. I'll revisit this as I hope more is planned. Until then it's average to me, but I do appreciate the new look. That's a step in the right direction.

Many people will intrested in living in this new Graham Park Community. The new community use to have other shops and a movie theater, but it wasn't making a whole lot of money. This new development will be fun to watch and see how things go from here on out. In the meantime, I will continue visiting Graham Park Plaza to do my grocery shopping and male personal grooming habits. Oh, and for years now at Graham Park Plaza, you can but fireworks a week on advance before 4th Of July and a week afterwards too.
