Visions for Vacancies: Fields Building To Be Sold

The 120-year-old mainstay business will close its doors soon, and the building is being sold. Who should buy it and what kind of business would do well there?

We're losing our beloved Fields of Pikesville store after it's been in business for 120 years. Recently, owner Jeff Levin said he's going to close the store and sell the building, located at 1401 Reisterstown Road. There may be nothing that can replace that store and eatery in our hearts and our community history. However, we're going to have to get used to thinking of something else taking its place. What would be the best replacement for Fields of Pikesville? A newly renovated office building? Another mattress store? Dave & Busters? Starbucks? A shoe store? Clothing store? Remember, it's near the library and senior center, so what would be convenient for the multitudes that frequent those places? Tell us in the comments box.

All the old houses behind the Fields building disappeared several years ago,to make way for the New Giant store....I thought Walker Ave. could have made a great Antique Row, in Pikesville. Maybe an Antique Mall would be a fitting tribute, with the Fields Store Signs hanging on the walls....Maybe the lunch room could remain open...   more ›

VISIONS FOR VACANCIES: What Happened to 7-Eleven?

The Village Green shopping center appears desolate.

What happened to the 7-Eleven in Village Green shopping center? The windows are papered, the large 7-Eleven sign has been removed. And, if I'm not mistaken, the bushes along Reisterstown Road have been taken out, as well. I've placed a call to KLNB Retail, the company listed on a sign at the site. But until I get a response, maybe Patch readers could add some insight. Do you know when it closed? Do you miss it? If you're not familiar with Village Green, it's the shopping center north of Office Depot on Reisterstown Road. The center used to be the home of the upscale Vassari boutique, at 1638 Reisterstown Rd., which closed in 2010, according to an article in The Baltimore Sun. The address for the 7-Eleven was 1640 Reisterstown Rd. Since the…
