Suggestions: New Maryland Meet Locations
 

All,

Our current Columbia Crossing meeting location is pretty terrible. The Target parking lot is busy as heck and the mini Starbucks inside the store is quite lame. It's time to find a new place to meet in Maryland and at the meet today we decided it'd be best to put a number of locations up for a vote. So, in this thread, please suggest a new Maryland meeting location so it can be included in a vote.

All proposed locations should meet the following guidelines:

- Standalone Starbucks located within walking distance from meet area (a la Fairfax)
- Parking lot should have ample space to host us without being crowded (a la Fairfax)

Basically, we are looking for a new location that is as much like Fairfax as possible.

So, post your suggested location with a brief description on the area and why you think it'd be a suitable replacement. After a few days or so I'll create a poll and we can put it to a vote.

:tup:

I would say my bedroom, but there's no starbucks within walking distance.

I'll throw this out there, the Starbucks across the street from Arundel Mills mall. Parking lot is decent and I've seen car meets being held there before (those are at night though). It's only 10 mins from our current location and conveniently right across from the mall/casino. Also plenty of food choices nearby both inside and outside of the mall.

I like that location. Looks like plenty of space and lots of nearby lunch options.

I'll do some scouting tomorrow and take some pictures. The Rockville NGC meet-up is walking distance from a Hooters and multiple other restaurants.

Bethesda probably isn't a great idea because there's just no room plus there's a high-end cars and coffee near the farmer's market already.

There's a great place in Germantown right next to a starbucks with a huge empty parking lot but no one wants to go to Germantown.

I'll meet up anywhere so I'm flexible.

lmao

Silver Spring... because its semi in the middle for everyone.

You have to find a specific location that has a starbucks and enough room for a meet.

But isn't Laurel a "nuclear free zone"? I would feel very safe there. :bowrofl:

Im down with Laurel..

About the same as Columbia for me unfortunately

Al's house? :p
