Seven Mile Market - supposedly the largest kosher supermarket in the country.

Market Maven (formerly Seasons) - great prices for meat and chicken, also good place for shabbos food

That restaurant is like the twilight zone.  I've been there tons of times and it's always a different experience.  They are often out of a lot of menu items; I was there after a funeral one time and they were out of most deli and bread options at lunch time.

Also, Easta La Vista is gone.
I think it still belongs on the wiki... Some people (old Baltimore ppl) like it

Which lot?  The old 7-11?  It doesn't make sense for them to make a purchase when they're just leasing the old OD building.

Season doesn't need that much space to be nicely stocked. Take a look at the one in 5T.

In any event all I care about is not having to step foot in 7 Mile Rip-off again.

Additionally, if they bring Raskins herring here I'll be double satisfied.

ETA: Not that seasons is cheap, but at least I'm paying for something be it quality or service.

If you care about pricing.... Keep going to seven mile

Obviously nobody knows what the prices will be as compared to seven mile, but it doesn't seem likely that people who don't want to "get ripped off" will realize significant savings by shopping at a store like seasons that is generally more expensive

I'm curious, too, however, I'm pretty sure that Baltimore is now so huge that both stores can be supported very well by the entire community. There are enough Kosher shoppers in the area.

Imho seasons will not save anyone money.  It might give seven mile a kick to get their act together.  Their meat department can really use some help and so can their produce.  BTW Seasons will have delivery.
