Comment: ‘We just want a frigging Wegmans’
Reisterstown and Owings Mills Patch readers sound off on this week’s news.
Second Suspect Arrested in Owings Mills Man’s Murder
“Maybe I don't understand the Maryland court system. With a rap sheet that DeAngelo Devonne Johnson has, why hasn't he spent some real time in jail? Does it take a murder for judges to get serious about putting a criminal behind bars? I hope he gets serious time in jail since this guy was a walking time bomb for murder.” – Parkvillehoney

“I just wanted to wish Susan all good things in her new adventures. She has been a true asset to our community and a friend as well. Whenever I attended an event, I knew Susan would be there! Her writing style and personality will take her far. We will all miss her in the neighborhood.” – Norma Bosley

I'd much rather have a Wegmans in Owings mIlls than one more unsightly empty lot growing weeds. If the traffic pattern needs to be altered to accommodate the Wegmans and the other stores planned, so be it. The traffic pattern as it is , in a word, sucks.

Use of innappropriate words and language on this site seems to be on the rise. This usually indicates a lack of knowledge of the English language, or, disrespect for the folks on the site. Please Keep It Clean !
As for Wegmans, I'm in favor.

There are several reasons for not putting a Wegmans where the old Solo was . First, it is next to a shopping area with a Giant and down the street from the Safeway. The Wegmans is billed as a way to provide more jobs. How will that happen if you put another supermarket in the area where 2 are already competing. That will cause the 2 to lose business resulting in people losing their jobs. Look at what happened to Shoppers.
Second, Reiesterstwon Road cannot accommodate the traffic. To fix the situation would take some planning. Then we would have to endure construction which would further exacerbate the situation.
I agree that we don't want a lot full of weeds. We need to think this through and hold several public hearings and provide all the facts. Also if we really want a Wegmans we can put it the mall. That place needs a pick up.

Oh really? We can just "put it" in the mall? Sharon must not understand that businesses decide where they want to locate, not "us". Wegmans has already made it clear they will not "put" themselves in the mall.

I wouldnt want wegmans at the mall.
Horrible location.
Out of the way to everything.
Wegmans at the Solo location is the best.

All for Wegmans at Solo property!
Giant and Safeway are a no go for us.
We travel down to the Wegmans in Hunt Valley atleast once a week.
Much better food that is fresher and tastier.
ALL FOR THE SOLO WEGMANS
