Suggestions: New Maryland Meet Locations

Say it isn't so. Another person wanting a meet a little more north. On a less sarcastic note....Are we big enough to have sub groups? Like MAZOC North and MAZOC

Not at all big enough. We have under 60 members and only a fraction are active.

To be clear my vote is to leave the Columbia meet alone and move the Fairfax meet.

I think some are just butt hurt that no one is attending meets regularly in the winter. Sorry, but I'm not interested in standing in a parking lot and freezing my arse off.

If anything I'd propose a place further north to help spread out meet up areas. For example the Hunt Valley Town Center. There's no starbucks but there are other coffee shops there.

If the Columbia meet up location gets moved further south I will no longer be attending meet ups at all. Sorry.
We aren't necessarily committed to moving further south. In fact, it'd be a bad idea if we just up and left Columbia and moved MD to Rockville exclusively. That would alienate too many people. We are just trying to see if there are better options than the current Columbia location that might help our attendance figures and overall improve the experience... i.e. instead of standing in a super busy Target lot we can have something closer to Fairfax, where we are relatively sheltered and in close proximity to a standalone Starbucks and plenty of good eateries.

I happen to like the Arundel Mills location that Shahid posted. It's close enough to Columbia that it won't make a difference for most. It has room to host us, a standalone Starbucks, and a lot of nearby food options...

This is what I deal with every day. Just trying to explore other options. It's pretty clear Rockville would alienate too many people.

I'm 100% content with the geographical location of the Columbia meet... I just hate the Target parking lot!

Arundel Mills is acceptable in my opinion. I'm fine with glen burnie type areas as well.

Once you force me to get onto 495 to make a meet you can pretty much rule me out.

Another suggestion:
10000 Baltimore Nat'l Pike, Ellicott City, MD ‎

Didn't we move out of the target lot to the side of the kabob place? Or are you including that as well?

Including that as well. The problem with meeting there is that you have to walk even further, through lots of vehicle traffic, just to get back to the Target to get your coffee.

Im happy with the sameish area as long as it isn't too much further. I still make it down once in a while that way.

You're way off base. We had a really solid turnout in Columbia last week. It's just not a great meeting location.

With all due respect, I've been coming to both Fairfax and Columbia meets without complaint and both are a hike for me. It was just a suggestion. I certainly won't throw a fit and threaten not to come to meets anymore if I my suggestion is turned down.

As it is now, guys, Fairfax and Columbia cover the member map the best. They are both within a 30 minute drive of 95% of the members, so we should try to keep the Columbia meet somewhere in that area.

Why does there need to be a starbucks?
