I was gonna say the same. It’s not exactly a prime location for a restaurant, and it’s definitely not a neighborhood or easily walkable from one. Maybe it served people staying in the hotels but not much else. It’s already an ugly space, if someone can use the space for a profitable business, let them. And let them keep the ugly storage buildings away from neighborhoods.

In Woodlawn, on Security Blvd., when Best Buy closed up shop in 2016, there was talks about seeing what else could replace it. A storage facility moved in. It has been there ever since.

In Owings Mills, there used to be a Giant in Newtown. It closed and moved to where the Mall used to be - across from the (then new) Costco. The site has sat empty since with residents in that area asking for something like a Lidl (which I believe did recently open up in Reisterstown). Last I knew, a storage facility was slated to move in there as well, but was being blocked by residents.

In Cockeysville... well... we're in this thread aren't we?

I used to say this at work when someone proposed something temporary: "Temporary measures have a bad habit of becoming permanent fixtures around here."

Comcast/Xfinity is not the greatest here but their speeds beat tf outta T-Mobile 5G Home Internet's for me. I tried T5GHI for a few days and was getting less than 60MBPS download speeds whereas Xfinity was consistently around 230MBPS. Couldn't even stream Netflix films without constant buffering. YMMV. Verizon needs to bring FiOS internet here asap. Until then it's prob Xfinity for me.
