Preakness also cannot be forgotten. If you live in Towson you have undoubtedly partaken in the all day (7am till you pass out) events of preakness, where it doesn't matter if you are 9, 20, or 45, it is perfectly fine to drink openly all day in a ring of dirt and beer, which you have happily paid $40 to do so.
girls: wearing polo dresses to a horse race where you will probably show your boobs.
guys: plaid shorts, polo, or maybe a button down, tie and khakis; whatever you wear you will undoubtedly return home, covered in beer and dirt, to pass out until you wake up to start drinking again, to find that your mom has already washed your clothes, made you food, and bought you another case of natty light

Towson is a place where a shitload of highschool kids go on the weekends to get fucked up in various ways.
Towson mall-where you'll find all the middle schoolers who have nothing better to do. if youre in high school or above and you hang out at towson mall not specifically trying to buy something or eat something, youre a faggot get some friends
Recher-the only place in maryland where you can see huge bands in an intimate setting. all the good bands play on thursday, friday or saturday but you can always go on sunday and see some local band but 75% of em suck dick while the other 25% will be suprisingly good. also know for the rec room next door which is a chill place to smoke some cigs, play pool, and watch the ravens kick ass
commons-the movie theatre. usually at least one fight outside every friday night. inside is rarely crowded but a good place to piss if youre drunk on the streets and nothings open
cluck u-across the street from the commons. if you havent tried the 911 sauce there and cried your eyes out feeling like you just got maced...then you havent been initiated to towson if your a towson kid reading this go there drunk this weekend walk up to the counter and ask the black dudes to try the 911 sauce...theyll do it and laugh their asses off at you being made a bitch by this stuff
baby ghetto-enough said if you havent been there....youve never chilled in towson
7-11-place to go when you have the munches and not have to worry about seeing some of the gay preppy kids from your school(they stay away from the bums and blacks waiting for the bus cause they reek of money and will get robbed)
go to towson on a friday night and youll see a buncha kids drunk off their ass stumbling and getting into fights, stoners looking to for someone to buy from or somewhere to smoke their bud, prosti-tots looking to get banged by some older guys, and bums asking you for change(dont give em shit you know their just gonna buy booze and drugs and you need your money for the same reason)
if you go to towson you better drink natty boh its good as shit and youre supporting baltimore
Towson mall-where you'll find all the middle schoolers who have nothing better to do. if youre in high school or above and you hang out at towson mall not specifically trying to buy something or eat something, youre a faggot get some friends

Horse Racing is a Baltimore thing: Pimlico, Shawan, not Towson. Keep this concerned with Towson.
True, maybe a few of these preppier definitions of towson existed.
But prep is a Baltimore COUNTY thing, not a Towson thing. Preppiness had its place in Towson, but it stayed even more suburban than Towson. Hunt Valley, Cockeysville, thats where the best of their parties were. As much as people like to say thats part of Towson, it's not.
Towson had one of the biggest punk populations around. Not prep, ska, pop, mall, bullshit-punk. This was punk: crust, trash, hardcore, late 70s punks, etc. It wasn't a "cool alternative scene." Alternative is the Radio. We took baseball bats to radios.
This is for the kids that spent their weeks, not only their weekends, drinking and hanging around:
the Commons,
the corner across from the Commons after the cops put up the No Loitering signs,
the benches on the Towson Circle,
The Towson Diner,
The Silver Diner (if you were old enough before it closed),
the outcove in front of the Library, the Baby Ghetto (if you don't know the Baby Ghetto, you didnt hang in Towson, period),
the Towson Catholic and Dumbarton playgrounds,
and of course, Ten Car Pile-Up Shows.
Theres more but I've been out of the scene for about 5 years, and I hear now its dead. Mostly because the preppy kids who caught wind of pop punk once it came to MTV thought that they could buy some shit from Hot Topic and be cool.

Towson. The pinnacle for lacrosse and all things prep. a spring day in towson is like being lost in a sea of pink, lime green, and plaid. towson is 2nd to none in the amount of private day schools in a single area. its the kind of place where it doesnt matter who throws a party, but where that person goes to high school. towson is the origin of the "field party", although you will have to go to a surrounding area to actually see a field party. The center of attention in towson is Bateman's on a monday night, and outside towson commons on a friday night, for all teenagers in their plaid shorts and popped collars. Towson is the "prep" capital of the world. Where every girl is loaded off her daddy's money, and decked out in only South Moon Under attire and Polo; nothing less will suffice. Following graduation Ocean City, Maryland becomes the new "towson" for the single most eventful, party filled, drunken, chaotic week of your life: SENIOR WEEK. Where ever you are now, and however old you are, if you ever lived here, you will forever be, a towson kid.

You refuse to see what's not directly in front of your face. First off, Towson is undoubtedly the lacrosse capital of the world. If you think anything else, you're just wrong. Second, who the hell are you to say lacrosse is not a major sport? If you think that, you are once again wrong. Do a tally and figure out for yourself that more people come to 1 lacrosse game than virtually any other type of game in the area. Better yet, come to MIAA championship and put your tail between your legs and shut the hell up. Since when does a single rugby game draw more people than the roughly 200 spectators at most good MIAA games? And Towson is not dominated solely by preps. At the commons before like 10pm you get all the middle school preps waiting for daddy to pick them up in the Beemer. After that, you get the pot-smoking dropouts hanging out being useless and the "punks" who think they're badass cause they wear black hanging out in front of 10 car pileup. The Recher is the place to go. No single group will you find there. Great bands in a small, more personal setting. Towsontown Center has turned into a shithole filled with "thugs" who wear t-shirts that look more like dresses. I go to Gilman. I am a prep. I am not rich. I am there on financial aid so I don't feel particularly upset trashing the rich bastards who get $60k cars the second they get their licenses. I play lacrosse but I don't fit the stereotype. Towson is a great place. If you don't like it, get the hell out cause we probably don't even want you here anyway. For the rest of us smart enough to realize that Towson is a cool place to grow up, stay here, go to college, and come back because you know you like it.
>>I don't understand why this baseball is so popular. It's so bleeding boring.

When describing Towson anyone who lives here knows that you can't leave out the surrounding upper class suburbs of Hunt Valley, Ruxton, Timonium and sometimes Jacksonville (see jville) that feed into the Towson scene. The kids are rich, pretty, smart and the best at their sport, spending most of their time toking on a joint in a friends 70,000$ car or playing ruit in someones basement. The parties are always huge, and no matter how fun it was it will always seem awesome because everybody was too drunk to remember. Lacrosse is THE sport, if you dont play it you play something else and you still love it. If you don't go to private school, its probably not because mommy and daddy cant pay for it but because you wish to have constant interaction with the opposite sex making it easier to be a slut during your high school years. Usually this is done at Dulaney, because Towson and Loch Raven just SUCK. Once you leave, you miss the hell out of it and always come back just so you can raise your own kids in the same unsupervised, spoiled manner your parents did.
We're smarter, prettier and richer than you, and you wouldn't understand unless you were a Towson kid.
