CATONSVILLE

Sure, it's the home of all the suburban big-box stores you'd guess -- Walmart, Home Depot, Sports Authority, Circuit City and more -- and the dining spot of choice for many students is the quintessentially small-town-American Double-T Diner. But Catonsville's dining options also include places like Thai Heaven and Indian Delight. And just down the road sits Han Ah Reum, an Asian market of eye-popping dimensions that must be seen to be believed.

Musicians and music fans alike will delight in Catonsville's “Music Row,” a span of a few blocks along its main drag where the original Record and Tape Traders, Appalachian Bluegrass Guitars and Bill's Music House all make their home. For outdoorsy types, the nearby Patapsco State Park offers 14,000 acres of hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and campgrounds. Pubs like G.L. Shack's and Kibby's cater to the happy-hour and after-hours crowds.
