On this nice Saturday, I decided to go to the mall for a couple of stores…read more It was a great day after being locked down with bouts of snow and ice. This mall is still viable and family friendly. Parking is hard for those needing disability parking as its not many spots close. I enjoyed the day eventhough the escalators in the mall seemed to be out of service moving folks to department stores to go up or down.

** 6 year update **…read more Business as usual! This mall continues to be top tier. They tend to keep reinventing themselves by adding trendy shopping experiences, as well as obtain property updates as needed. This mall continues to be a neighborhood gem, and I will continue to visit as much as I can!!

Nepalese momos (the chicken chily moms are really spicy but was very good next time will try the pan fried ones ) The restaurants are more on the pricier side in my opinion for fast food but I think the two places I mentioned are worth it. Will try others and update my reviews but do think some of the other places weren't worth the price point.

Savage Mill is one of those adorable places that's worth a visit just to explore the buildings…read more There are several smaller parking lots, and if those are full, the big lot on the back of the mill is accurately named. It's big and the walk down is easy. Savage Mill is a former mill that's been converted and has various small businesses, restaurants, hands on activities, offices, a large booth style antique store, and various other options. There's even a fencing club. The interior of Savage Mill is lovely with the shops portion being two floors and it has a modern wood grain look. As you get further into the mill buildings, they have more offices and it can get confusing due to the number of floors and hallways with nothing but doors. The booth style antique store named Antique Center at Historic Savage Mill was a pleasant surprise in the basement. It has a good mix of high- and low-end booths with things from comic books to vintage plates. Is Savage Mill with coming out of your way to visit? Absolutely. This was one of the biggest and most pleasant surprises during my visit to the area, and I'd recommend it to others. Just make sure to budget enough time for a visit.

Hey friends! This review is long overdue. I loveeeee this mall so much. I actually used to work…read morehere for a couple months in college lol, that's how I discovered it. The antique mall is the perfect all-day adventure. Coffee shops, sweet treats, dive bars, winery, fencing studios, outdoor adventure park, cosmetic enhancement suites, $5 thrift shops, salon suites, tattoo shops, a huge antique shop and more make this mall a delicacy. There's something for everyone and you can truly spend the entire day here. Some of my favorite shops include More Than Java, Skinsational Scents and Boyd Cru Wines. The mall hosts events often. Check out their website for more details. Parking: there's TWO parking lots. Little Lot and Big Lot. You make a left as you exit Little Lot and go all the way the street to the end. I hope you enjoy!

*Pop Mart Review Only* Came to Pop Mart in Arundel Mills to…read morepurchased a few blind boxes for my family member. The term "blind box" is somewhat what it implies; boxes of themed Korean inspired character items that you purchase, having no idea what you purchased until you open the box. I believe there is a hope that you will come across a sought after item or simply one that you don't have to add to your collection. The store had various characters and themed blind boxes in addition to an assortment of other Korean/anime inspired merchandise. My family member found what they were looking for. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The blind boxes we purchased were $19.99 a piece (we got 2) and the prices varied according what blind boxes items you purchased. They were pleased with their purchases. All in all, if this is your thing, half at it!

I came to this mall to stroll and see if I can find some good buys from stores inside…read more Parking can be treaty depending on the day and time. It has been a steady crowd inside the mall. However, a lot of the higher end stores has closed up. I must have a relax mind to come into this mall as it can be overwhelming with some mall guests and crowds. Today it was very mellow for it all. There are eateries around the mall with some anchor restaurants. There are relaxing massage chairs placed around the mall, as well as bathroom in the different sections of the mall all numbered access identified.

We came to the Towne Centre at Laurel to look around at Guitar Center. We did find ourselves…read morelooking around other stores while here. We parked on the side close to Old Navy. We enjoyed a bite to eat at Sakura. You can't go wrong with their Teriyaki Chicken, Rice and Steamed Veggies combo that comes with a drink. The plus side of the Town Centre is the AMC Movie Theater. It's in the center end of the Town Centre. The shopping centers overall is good. There are a variety of stores, food, the movie theater and a few necessity spots for example a Dentist. Some may say why put one in a shopping centre but I've seen this more often than you may think. It doesn't hurt for convenience, so I don't have any negative feedback on that.

Busy shopping center with many options for food and retail!…read more Didn't realize how many places were here until today. I went to HomeSense, TJ Maxx and Joann. I'm pretty sure I went to the Buffalo Wild Wings here many years ago but didn't realize it was in this shopping center! It's busy getting in and out of here! Some of the other places in this center (this is definitely not all): -Big Lots -Bob's Discount -BJ's Brewhouse -Dick's Sporting Goods -Sally's -Nordstrom Rack -Maiwand -Vitamin Shoppe -Mission BBQ -Old Navy -Target -PNC Bank -Famous Dave's Again, this isn't all that's over here!!

The 'main drag' meanders and snakes through the center with parking and stores on both sides, then makes a sharp left.....and then more meandering. Do not try to make a left turn out of any parking area without having about 20 minutes to wait for a break in the traffic coming from both directions. I try not to come here, but needed a book that I did not have time to order online. And the bookstore? That's another review, and not a good one either.

I love it only $32 dollars since they have an extra 25 % percent off on red tag clearances! So i was very happy about that. The young man ho helped me with my return ( a drss that is full of sequins) he was so nice but sadly i didn't get his name. Also shoutout to Naya! She was phenomenal. Amazing customer service. Very agreeable and so very nice! She checked us out since we purchased new items from the store. She had such a great aura to her that she was so lovely and it made my night, especially it is almost closing and she still had a lot of energy i love that for her!

Stopped in while in the area to check out the kids section…read more Unfortunately, the section is unorganized, and very little to choose from. The shoe area has and seems always to be in a disarray. I browsed through the women section, as I was quiet disturbed in the kids section at noon with the lack of a plausible selection. I didnt find any good buys today. My mood was changed walking around in amazement from the sight of the store and lack of selection.

I really like the 5th Avenue beauty supply store - prices are great! And of course, I can't forget, one of my Laurel faves, Mad Cow Grill! I've seen the Laurel area really grow over the years so more businesses are necessary and this shopping center has alot of options! I know I missed some of the many businesses here, but here are some: -Two nail salons -Marshalls -Giant -Chuck E Cheese -Car wash -Capital One Bank -Bank of America -Negril -Barbershop -LA Fitness -T Mobile -Sally's -Subway There's plenty of parking over here!

Other businesses include: -Gas station -Liquor store -Dentist -Dunkin -Subway -Dry cleaners -Nail Expo (a nail salon) -La Palapa Too (I've been to.

There aren't enough decent shopping centers in the world. Montpelier does a pretty good job and has…read morethe usual suspects that are required for a shopping center to succeed. A gas station, a dry cleaners, a nail shop and a donut shop. They also have four sit down restaurants, a take-out restaurant and a Dunkin. The only thing missing from the menu is an ice cream place. There's enough parking but the layout is limited. There is only one exit to the shopping center plus the one for the gas station. It's got a tight corner up against US 29 and Johns Hopkins Road. And there isn't a possibility add an outbuilding with a drivethrough. But it's clean, it has good coverage (I was here when it was pouring down with rain and I was dry) and it has enough lighting to feel safe.

After years of sitting almost empty after businesses closed or moved to new locations, Burtonsville…read moreCrossing has undergone a revitalization. New stores have opened this year and others are coming soon. The center's sidewalks are lined with planters full of brightly colored flowers making it quite attractive. There is a small patio area between two of the stores with artificial grass providing some greenery. Replacing the a grocery store that relocated years ago is Sprouts, which features many organic and plant based foods. It has departments with produce, bakery items, a deli, meat and seafood, prepared meals to go, frozen foods, and pantry items. It also carries frozen crab cakes and a frozen pizza brand that were both rated "the best" in separate reviews. The crab cakes are Sprouts' own brand and the pizza is one I haven't found anywhere else. Much to my surprise a review of grocery stores rated Sprouts as number one. Also open in the shopping center are a new TJ Maxx, Ulta, and Moby Dick Kabobs. Planned businesses include a Domain Fitness, an Eggspectation restaurant. and a bank, among others. Burtonsville Crossing is located right off Columbia Pike and there is plenty of parking. I'm happy to see the area thriving again.
