Good luck with that. It's a terrible location that is tucked away from the main thoroughfare of theRead More lakefront activities. Let's list out the restaurant failures that I can remember: Sgt. Peppers that Brazilian steakhouse Jesse Wong's Red Pearl Etc...Etc...

Why bother with the Symphony Woods moniker? The music at the pavilion rarely involves a symphonyRead More (which was the original intent) and the woods will clearly no longer exist,

So much for walkable and charming. Looks more like Tysons Corner.

Of course nobody will be using Symphony Woods or the surrounding area at all during concerts atRead More Merriweather Post Pavilion since HB1514, as sponsored primarily by Del. Guy Guzzone, was passed into law this year. MPP/Howard Hughes succeeded in their special interest lobbying effort to get MD State law changed to prevent any reasonable limits on amplified sound and concert noise. Thanks to this change in the law, Merriweather will be able to inflict sound up to 95 decibels within a quarter mile of their "venue" - this includes the entire Symphony Woods park property and all the area that is to be developed as described above. Can you imagine taking your family to the new multi-million dollar Inner Arbor park at Symphony Woods and being blasted with noise as loud as a jet plane at takeoff for hours on end? And they'll be able to create this level of noise from 9AM UNTIL 11:30PM!!! This is what passage of HB1514 brings to tens of thousands of Columbia residents who live near MPP. And yes, you'll be able to here the noise from 2 or more miles away as Rob Kay and others are already aware. Just remember to thank Del Guzzone for helping to destroy the tranquil possibilities for Symphony Woods, Inner Arbor, or whatever gets built, by making sure Howard Hughes & Merriweather "got theirs" ($$$) and the rest of us get a Columbia that is an even worse place to live.

The construction workers are currently taking up coveted parking spaces in the parking garageRead More between the restaurants & Nordstrom. More coming in November, perfect, just in time for holiday shopping. GGP should make these workers park in an area that is less popular.

Andrew, are you sure the outdoor walkway will connect to the lakefront? Please clarify that lastRead More sentence in your article. It's my understanding that the outdoor retail addition will face the water/rock feature and plaza where the entrance to the L.L. Bean store once was. The lakefront isn't in this direction, obviously.

I think that Tomato Palace needs to bring back their garlic knots or I'm not coming back anymore.

I don't see a big change there. Before and after photos would be nice. 4 million huh? Whew!

This is great news. I've never been to the other Maryland Sonic locations, mostly because of theRead More hassle with traffic when they opened. Having one close by will be nice, although I may have to avoid it for the first few weeks for the same reason.

Hmm...parking is bad there now. Adding ~110 seats inside + ~35 outside...sounds like a lot ofRead More growth for only +20 parking spots.

Let the market decide if there are too many fast food restaurants not some politician! If there areRead More too many, then some will not survive simply based on attendance numbers.

Correction, Mr. Henry Eigles on the Board of Appeals denied this proposal.

Thank you. You're correct. I've issued a correction. I could barely hear him at the board meetingRead More last night and I thought at first he said he was going to grant it, but later he voted against it.

he did do just that - yes and then no because he wanted to re-write the standing law on the books -Read More he was confusing

Staff was nice but bar managers are uncouth and disturbing. The first time I was there a mngr wasRead More reprimanding a bar tender in front of customers acting very unprofessional and I was served a french dip with half as much meat on it as the guys french dip sandwich siting next to me.. I was there a second time with a friend and the tvs with the same program on above the bar were off sink by a couple seconds. My friend and I were talking about how annoying it was and the manager butted in our conversation then said to us "you white people have some weird problems" This was a white guy saying this to 2 white guys with a black guy sitting next to us. I won't be back.

Finally, someone with something constructive to say. Would it work? Who knows? But even if itRead More failed, it could make some of these legislators sit up and take notice of their opposition.
Christine May 17, 2013 at 08:11 pm
This is very true. And it will hit many of us consumers twice: we'l have to pay the extra moneyRead More out of empty pockets AND we'll have to absorb price increases on our goods because the vendor's costs increase. Wht exactly was the goal of this tax increase?
Christine May 17, 2013 at 08:15 pm
I'm sorry, but I could hardly read your comment. Did you forget all your punctuation? It does notRead More support your point of view when you don't even use simple sentences.
