That doesn't say much for the DRC's plans to bring a big box retail to Dundalk now does it. Diamond Point has been vacant for as long as I can remember. Over where Gold's is there are over five vacant stores. Merrit Park is having a problem attracting a anchor but the DRC knows better.

There are almost as many vacant store fronts in Dunalk as people. My question is why the DRC continues to push Vontran's Seagram's deal? Apparently like certain council members a potential ethical issue just gets in the way of doing business.

DRC is an idea whose time has come...and gone. The organization itself has come to see its own irrelevance in a dead shopping center when it pronounces itself as a "coordinator" for the volunteer community organizations around Dundalk. I wonder how these community groups feel about having a "coordinator"?

Wayne, especially when that "coordinator", makes statements that fly against any logic of the topic in which they speak. They seem to take verbatim what they are being told without any questions or research.

Their actions border on being ludicrous considering their goal of revitalizing the Dundalk area and how the lack of knowledge in their planning or research is evident in their letters.

As a dundalk resident..born n raised..i believe dundalk needs a mall..with decent stores..not stores oriented towards inner city residents..but stores for everyone..i grew up..in colgate..accross from eastpoint mall..n i remember the mall was always crowded n did lots of buisiness..as far as the vacant stores ALL OVER dundalk..rent needs to be lowered on most of these n buisinesses n companies would come to our community..Its really sad n depressing to see dundalk going down hill...

DO I hear "JOHNS HOPKINS " Rumor has it for years that Johns Hopkins Hospital has wanted that property for years ????????????

Maybe they should "daylight" the mall to as built.

This is just another example of why Dundalk is not what it once was.

I remember not so long ago, (say, 8 years) that mall had stores, it made money etc. And then aladdin's castle left. Then spencers...and stores just kept closing. The places that are there stopped hiring. If they could somehow fix the entire situation, they could actually bring jobs back to dundalk. And fix part of our economy.

Vontran's plan... Ask him the next time you see him with Johnny O at the Seahorse.

On different Note, as personal opinion on,And, as former Colgate resident...until they can get that putrid smell under containment(and not just control)Nothing will thrive in that wretched environment. IT WILL CURL UR nose hairs.(N.j.)

you all can say community this and that but i worked in this mall off and on for 15 years all the merchants have had to deal with horrible rent increases and there is no help from anyone there i was told the door had to be repaired by the merchant they wouldn't even replace a l fluorescent light bulb for us !! They walk around with note books ready to fine you if you open late or close early. So go ahead and talk about "community" needs.... this place is a hell hole!

Dundalk is due to become a ghost town!

Truly, what does Mondawmin at Eastpoint have to offer the community? 15 or 20 years ago the mall thrived today nothing but nail solons, wig shops, cheap clothing stores and crappy jewelry kiosks. The new owners need to revamp this mall or tear it down and start over.
