Five Guys Burgers and Fries Opens a New Store in Towson, MD

Five Guys Burgers and Fries Opens a New Store in Towson, MD

Five Guys does it again!! They just opened a new location in Towson. The new restaurant is located at 936 York Road, Towson, MD 21204 and is conveniently located just inside the beltway (I695) on York Road. At first glance the restaurant looks small, but don't let that deceive you, there is plenty of seating inside and outside (on a nice day) for you to enjoy their amazing burgers and fries.

Five Guys hasn't messed with their menu either. They offer their signature burger, cheese burger and bacon cheeseburger and the same range of mini burgers, fresh french fried potatoes and hot dogs along with soda. All are very reasonably priced. When we go as a family, we get one large order of fries and share it between the three of us.

If you haven't experienced a Five Guy's burger you are really missing out. Their toppings are always free and you can have any choice of mayo, relish, onions, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, ketchup, jalapeno, green peppers, A-1 Sauce, BBQ Sauce and Hot Sauce.

Five guys french fries are fried in fresh peanut oil and served in a cup and in a brown paper bag. Shake some salt, pepper and malt vinegar over them and shake them up and you are good to go. My Dad used to cook french fries like this and put them in a brown paper bag. It reminds me of home. The fries are amazing too.

We went at 3:00 pm and there were a lot of people there enjoying the burgers and fries.

Old Towson Jail to Be New West Towson Pool

Marney Kirk, Towson, Maryland Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Towson, MD

An old jail in my town of Towson, Maryland is going to have a new life as a pool, office space, and hopefully a cafe.

Placed on the National Historical Registry in 1991, the Warden's building, built in 1858, is being renovated to preserve the original details while providing modern amenities.

I am excited that this 1.8 acres is going to be something so useful to the community. Though the pool is going to be private, the public schools around and camps/etc will have access to use. The local senior center will be offered largely discounted memberships.

The best part for my neighborhood, is that if you are a charter member, meaning that you pay $2500-$3500 to help build the pool, then that membership becomes part of your household. This means that when someone sells their Towson home, the membership can be transferred with the sale of the house.

Pools in our area fill up quickly. One opened in Timonium last year and their wait list is now 3 years long.

This provides a tremendous opportunity for Towson House Values to those who are willing and able to be charter members!
