What Destinations are in Each of Columbia's Village Centers

Continuing a discussion in the comments to yesterday's post, what destinations (i.e. things that provide a draw for people to gather) are in each Village Center?

I thought of a number off the top of my head for some of the villages I know best:

The Bagel Bins in Wilde Lake, Kings Contrivance, and River Hill definately are destinations. So are restuarant/bars like Michael's Pub in Kings Contrivance, Sonomas in Owen Brown, the former Last Chance Saloon that has now been replaced by the Fire Rock Grill in Oakland Mills. The Interfaith Centers and Meeting Houses are also destinations. The ice skating rink in Oakland Mills is a destination as is the indoor pool/water park in Wilde.

What would you add?

    Off the top of my head: Wilde Lake has Feet First, which is a fairly big deal in the Maryland running scene. Long Reach has the Art Center. Several Village Centers include offices (dentists, etc.) Does Harpers Choice include the SportsPark and the Athletic Club? The post office in Oakland Mills is one of the best-kept secrets around. Wilde Lake and Oakland Mills are both adjacent to High School campuses and Kings Contrivance, Hickory Ridge and River Hill are within walking distance. I think that's an important consideration since many adult classes and events are held at those places.

    Thunder Hill in Oakland Mills has The Blue Cow cafe, where Karen and Safire make nice coffee company. Oakland Mills Village Center has great pizza at Venarris. The Lucky's Chinese resturant in OM has a wonderfully huge and clean salt water fish tank.
