Columbia Convenience for Baltimore Commuters

In a Baltimore-focused blog, why would I write about Columbia? Simple. For anyone commuting to DC down Baltimore-Washington Parkway or I-95, Columbia is well located as a shopping stop on the way home from work. Now, a new shopping center, quite close to I-95, is about to make that even easier.

About a week ago, I noticed the new shopping center, with Best Buy opening and a Lowe's coming soon. What I didn't know is that the shopping center is expecting Trader Joe's, Loehman's, and Costco. As well, Houlihan's, Mimi's Cafe, and On the Border Mexican Grill will adorne it, according to The Baltimore Sun. The shopping center is located at the intersection of Route 175 and Route 108... just west of I-95. If you exit from I-95 and go West, it's the first intersection, less than 1 mile down the road. I suspect you'll be able to get off the highway and back on in about 5 minutes.

As a tangent, Anyone that's seen my pantry knows I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's. If you haven't ever been in one, I recommend checking out the one nearest you. I happen to frequent the one at I-695 and Reisterstown Road. Now I'll have another one to stop at, when I'm headed to or from DC.
