The entrance (that I use) of the shopping center has a large girl playing frisbee with her dog. There are many stores that have been and still are standing in this shopping center for decades, which are/were my go-to shops: -BJ's Wholesale -Kohl's -Walmart -Best Buy There are also newer shops that have popped up since the last few years such as Aldi. Olive Garden is an OG restaurant, but there are also many other options such as McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. They have expanded this shopping center over the years to accommodate the shoppers, growing traffic as well as nearby residents.

Travelled from DC for lunch at Byblos restaurant. Lunch was delicious. My problem was NOT with…read morethe restaurant, it is with the county. I don't understand how this Plaza passed as being ADA approved. There are NO reserved handicapped parking with the blue signs anywhere around the building. It is a square building with retail on three side. Byblos is on the front corner of the building. There was only one ramp at the far end of the side of the building. So there was a parking spot in the 4th space from the end where the ramp is located. I had to walk the 4 parking spots to get up the ramp enabling me to walk on the sidewalk and then walk the distance of the building to reach that restaurant. What is amazing is that all the retail on that side of the building were Physical Therapy type. If I could step up on the curb it was a grassy slope. Very unsafe for .many Why is there not a ramp on all three sides of the building? I would highly recommend Byblos Restaurant for a most enjoyable meal on ever aspect, service, flavor, price, cleanliness but the situation in the parking lot was anxiety producing because the county employees did NOT do their job properly.

But seriously, it is convenient to work near Plaza America. Starbucks is accessible for a quick coffee meeting with a client, and Vie De France has killer breakfast crepes. There's several solid options for the quick casual lunch, and Melting Pot and Nikko are nice options for dinner without having to venture into the RTC vortex. And yes, I have to admit that Whole Foods is a benefit as well ... their hot foods and salad bar for breakfast and lunch are very convenient for grabbing something quickly and taking it back to the office. If I need some of the basics, there's CVS. If I need something shipped, there's the UPS Store. Office supplies? There's Staples. Pretty much anything that I need in a pinch at work, I can find there.
