There's a Sonic in Baltimore. If you're up that way, take 695 to exit 18B Randallstown. Make a right on to Liberty Road and go straight for around a mile. It'll be on your right hand side. (My mother lives up that way.)

There's a Wawa in College Park, a mile or so past Ikea. We need one closer in though, dammit.

I'd also kill for a Krispy Kreme closer in than Gaithersburg.


There's a Krispy Kreme in Dupont. That's closer than close.

Because this is an anonymous board, I will admit I'd like a Waffle House and a Cracker Barrel inside the Beltway for my waffle/pancake needs, and a Braum's for my ice cream fix.

If there were a Sonic in 7 corners, the franchise owner would be rich and I would be as big as a house. Cheese tots, a cony, and a Rt 44 vanilla coke!

We live in DC and there are none in DC - have to drive 5 miles to the nearest one in VA. Love Arby's, but not enough to drive 10 miles round trip.

Are you thinking of Red Robin?


Yes, I probably am. Sorry about that! Realizing that I have probably never been to a Sonic!

I haven't read all the previous responses, but my vote is for Once Upon a Child (baby/kids consignment store).

I live near one out of state, and it's awesome!!

(I think there are a few in the outer burbs of VA/MD, but nothing closer in near DC.)

What's good about Eat n Park?

My daughter loves Steak and Shake, and the burgers are decent, but I'd always rather get Chipotle if we're doing fast food.
