I have shopped for plants and gardening supplies at Valley View many times over the years and finally got tired of the higher prices and iffy service. The last time I was in there, I was looking for a rose thorn stripping tool and was sent by the lone employee to the back of the store where "we might have it". I didn't find it and didn't see the clerk on the way out, though outside there were six or seven workers standing around talking. Lots of people like to shop here for Christmas decor but I find it over the top and very commercial.

This movie theater is very good, it is always clean. I find my self waiting to get into the actual movie theater because they have people inside cleaning. Food and tickets are very expensive, but all move theaters are like that. The downside is that it gets very crowded on Friday nights and saturday nights.

Amazing Food, Interesting Atmosphere

There's nothing about the location of Fazzinni's Italian Kitchen that make it stand out. It's in a small strip mall and blends in with the surrounding stores. However, one meal there and you are addicted to their food.
Their Ceasar salads come in large bread bowls, their pasta is fresh and "home made" on site and their pizza is better then any of the large chains.
A small restaurant with about 10 to 12 tables it is an enjoyable place to have a meal. They are affordable with large portions of food and they even offer delivery and carry-out services as well.
The desserts are divine: rich cakes that taste as good as you would find in any bakery. And because their pastas are made on site you can even buy the pasta to take home with you.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with a love for Italian food and home cooking. Friday and Saturday nights get busy (again they only have 10 to 12 tables) but they are worth the drive and the wait.

Hunt Valley Motor Coach owns a large amount of Coach buses that take schedule tours and trips across the country.
Each day of the week they leave from various places around the Beltway to New York City and Atlantic City. For $45 you can go up and come back on the same day...for $90 you can go up one day and come back a different day. To get to New York alone you would spend $33 in just tolls, not to mention gas, parking and the headache of driving in the city.
They also take bus trips--for a decent price you can go to Atlantic City, Myrtle Beach, cross country and a variety of other places and tours on their buses. You can go by yourself or with a larger group of people.
I have used them to go to New York 7 times since December 2003 (its now August 2005): they go up regardless of the weather and are extremely reliable.
I highly recommend them for your traveling.

I am not one who normally goes for manicures and pedicures – but for the birthday of a friend we thought it would be a fun lunch break. What a great idea that turned out to be! In just 30 minutes I was relaxed and refreshed and ready to work some more. This shop is tiny, but there are several manicure stands and three pedicure chairs. There is nothing better than sitting in a massage chair with your feet in a mini Jacuzzi getting your toe nails and feet polished. (I chose a bright red toe nail polish – and a pale pink for my finger nails.) And it was so cheap! $28 for both – and I was back at work before my lunch break was over!

I ordered a crab cake from Patrick's, a little wearily since it is an Irish Restaurant, but I was happily surprised that it was so delicious! They also have beer battered fries which are really tasty. I also ordered peas and carrots and a side salad with Spanish Vinaigrette. The vinaigrette was a little too vinegar-y for my liking, but it did have plenty of olives mixed into it which added a nice twist to it. I was too stuffed from the delicious crab cake (you only need one to feel satisfied, and it isn't a bad price either) to order dessert, but apparently they are worth trying out. This would be a nice place to go out for dinner with your parents or with older people, it doesn't have a very "young" feel to it, although the deliciousness caters to everyone.

This Ice Creamery has THE BEST SMOOTHIES IN TOWN

I'm really excited about this ice cream/coffee/smoothie/Vaccaro's pastry shop nestled in the back corner of the Yorktowne Shopping Center. It has been my secret mission now to find a local smoothie place that I can frequent and although there are smoothie places in the Towson mall, I definitely wanted someplace closer and some place that was not a chain. This place fits the bill! I ordered a peachy banana smoothie with non fat yogurt in a small 16oz cup (the large is 24oz!!!) for $3.40. It was really delicious! Another time I ordered a Mango Madness smoothies with banana, and it was absolutely heavenly. I am normally really weary of getting mango smoothies because they usually end up waaayyy too sweet (hint: especially at Cosi/Xandos) but this one was just right. They don't seem to use just plain fruit syrups but instead fresh fruit, which I always ask about because smoothies made from fruit syrup are normally always too sweet. Their ice cream selection is pretty broad as well as their smoothie selection. My friend got a cup of no sugar added moose tracks icecream which was pretty tasty too, but I still liked my smoothie better. They seem to make a lot of frozen slushy type coffee drinks as well as regular coffee with the basic flavored syrup collection in the back.
Next thing i want to try is the Royal Banana which is slices of banana beneath two scoops of vanilla icecream (or i guess whatever you want) and then caramel syrup!!! Sounds really great to me, and for only $3.99 that's not a bad deal.
I feel sad about their poor placement since they are first in the back of the shopping center so no one can see them, and then it's close to Coldstone Creamery where most people would choose to get icecream. However, this is much cheaper, they offer delicious smoothies and Vaccaro's pastries (either small slices of cakes such as Tiramisu or they can order in some full cakes from the original store downtown).
I really like this place and recommend it to you whole heartedly, especially because it makes me sad when I go there and no one is there but me. I really want to help this place, so help it with me!

I was looking to purchase an Acura TSX from this dealership in 2004. They didn't have the exact model I wanted on the lot but they told me it would take 2 weeks to get. Over 2 months went by and they still didn't have it. Not only that but the salesperson never called me. I had to call him to keep checking on it. I eventually went to a different Acura dealer to purchase the car and hand a much better experience (they had 2 cars of the model I wanted right on the lot).

I enjoy arts and crafts and this place has it all. Their staff is knowledgeable on numerous topics and provides a great selection of materials to use. The location is easy to get to and the prices are very reasonable. If you are into arts and crafts go here you will not be dissappointed.
