Is it Worth the Extra Mile?

The Towson Mall has been a growing hot spot for many university students on the weekends this past year. It recently added new fashionable stores like Free People and Madewell to it and has many great restaurants like The Cheesecake Facotry and PF Changs. It is starting to feed into the high-end fashion that many of Loyola, Towson, and Johns Hopkins’s students are into. Not only does the mall have some great new stores to shop in, but it is surrounded by lots of places. Towson Hot Bagel, a great place for breakfast and a favorite among many students at

Loyola, is just to the left of the mall, third exit off the circle, while to the right of the mall just a bit down Joppa Rd. Is Target, Michaels, and Panera! The mall is also surrounded by many delicious and fabulous places like Pasta Mista and Smoothie King across the street, or Barns and Nobel. A new addition to the Towson area, which attracts more students to head towards the mall, is Urban Outfitters. Many love this unique, trendy, and fashion forward store and now you no longer have to head towards the Inner Harbor to shop!

One downfall to the Towson area is that there is no movie theater anymore. Many students now have to travel to White Marsh to catch a movie, but it is well worth your trip! White Marsh has many outdoor stores to go to as well as restaurants. There you can shop, eat, and catch a movie! A one-stop wonder! Although White Marsh lacks a bit in some of the clothing stores that many students are into, it is worth the extra mile sometimes to go and take a look around.
