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.

There is a Barnes and Noble as an anchor store. The one by me is long gone. The Best Buy here is now vacant. They have many good food options. We were here for the Savor Bowie event. Seemed like 100+ vendors were lining the Main Street. Still, lots of of free parking option available in the back lots. Stores don't open until noon on Sundays from what I noticed. Many restaurants didn't have breakfast options except First Watch, of course.

They all look like cookie cutter examples from the original. The only difference, the stores held within. This location does seem to be fairing well when compared to other locations. Obviously not as good as outlet malls, but still holding its own. I was surprised by the amount of stores, but the lack of foot traffic. I came on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone here. Those that were coming were running into a single store and heading out. It doesn't seem that far fetched to have an area like this be busy. But I think that most people are straying away from shopping centers like this. The mix of stores didn't really compliment one another and if you wanted to go to other stores in the center you have to go away from the town center portion. I am sure that when it is warmer this is a more vibrant place, but places like this aren't that magically in the colder months.
