[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have relatives who live up there. Lots of large homes on large lots. Their house is up a long, wooded driveway, which is really pretty. I suppose you would call it a McMansion, but it's actually not huge, and it's a very good-looking house. It fits its environment, unlike the McMansions going up in the Palisades of DC!

The schools are supposed to be great. You do have to drive, but I've noticed kids playing in the yards, and bicyclists, and lots of joggers.

I think it's a nice quality of life for a family, except [b]I'm sure you have to drive pretty far for a non-chain restaurant.[/b] Lost of the neighbors work at Hopkins and drive into Baltimore every day. Lots of doctors.

I think their five-bedroom house on an acre is worth about $800,000. That alone is worth considering Columbia! [/quote]

This part is definitely not true :-)

Iron Bridge Wine Company
Facci
Clyde's (i guess that is a chain)
Tomato Palace
Sushi Sono
Ranazul

and these are just a few [/quote]

Clydes and Tomato Palace are chains (both owned by Clyde's). Which leaves four restaurants.

So really. When we go to visit, our relatives take us to the supermarket to get Starbucks coffee - INSIDE the supermarket. It's too far to drive to find a coffee shop. This is the point I was making. Restaurants and coffee shops - forget it. Few and far between. [b]The closest Whole Foods is in Baltimore[/b]. Lots of pick-up trucks. Columbia's not for everyone.

A Whole Foods is being added to the Town Center near the mall. Will open 2014.[/quote]
