Towson is turning from a n engagiing home town into a small city…Not good….Apartments are not needed in Towson,……especially since they are so architecturaly incongruent…At the least, developers should create a statement….an art form..but they are not…Towson now just looks like an incongruent mess! Very very sad.

In reply to Carly Y. Kenilworth Mall owners also tripled the rent, including for Su Casa and Fell's Point Surf Shop, according to employees at both stores. (On the upside, the Christmas-time train garden is apparently returning, train designers there said).

The traffic should be even more amusing than it is already.

In reply to Walking in Towson. Fells point surf shop and su casa are owned by the same company, su casa has a store in Ellicott city and when the flooding happened the company decided to close their stores at the shops at Kenilworth to save money for for rebuilding thw Ellicott city store

Well “progress” comes at a price in Towson lately—Barnes & Noble, Ukazoo Books, and at Kenilworth Mall: Su Casa and Fell’s Point Surf Shop. In all cases, these beloved businesses did not want to leave, according to numerous employees, but were forced out by the new landlords, possibly short-sighted real estate developers who are dropping/foregoing known clientele. Many of these stores have also offered a hip or local flavor, a zeitgeist Towson desperately needs.

As new residents move into the apartment buildings downtown, we hope Barnes & Noble can find a new home, as Ukazoo did, though sadly that fave is no longer in walking distance. Bad commercial karma can only go so far…
