What Is There Too Much of In Bowie? Readers Respond

BOWIE, MD--Moderation is key. While one bank is helpful, six is just a waste of space, and Patch Readers agree that any crime is too much crime.

We asked you what there is too much of in your town- whether it be traffic, businesses, or crime-related.

Here’s what Patch Readers said they could do without in Bowie:

• “Could I add that I wish we had a few more different/GOOD restaurants! I know the new market place will help...hopefully there’s not going to be another bank in there.”
• “Subways”
• “Apartments new and coming, last thing we need in bowie, will just end up like the rest of the county before long”
• “Corporations. I wish we could have more small businesses from our neighbors beyond food joints and nail salons.”
• “Gyms”
• “Too many chain restaurants. We support local and the list is dwindling in the past 5 years”
• “Potholes”
• “Starbucks. I wish we could have an independent, or at least something different.”
• “Speeding school buses...”
• “Rude people”
• “Poor drivers.”
