Back in February of this year, Parkville-Overlea Patch launched a feature called Behind the Counter that profiled local businesses and business owners.
In the months since, we've talked to entrepreneurs who do everything from selling hot sauce to tattooing and piercing and everything in between.
Now we're asking you to nominate the next business to be featured in the weekly column as we prepare to relaunch by answering these questions:
Where do you shop in Parkville-Overlea? Is there a local business you've always meant to, but never explored? Which entrepreneurs are doing great things for the community?
Previous Behind the Counter features have focused on:
- The Fractured Prune
- Peppers Galore
- Low Pro Graphics
- Natures Pantry
- Fullerton Self Storage
- Traditional Wing Chun
- Cookies By Design
- All About Music
- Just Audio
- Capone's Ink
- Diver's Den
- Waterman's Pride
- Sipping Pretty
- Maria's of Carney
- Restore Computer Services
- The Sofa Store
- George's Farm Market
So, readers—which Parkville-Overlea area businesses should we feature next?

Pita Pan, best Gyro's in Baltimore area, clean, and friendly. They will make comfort food or healthy food anyway you like it. Take out or eat in.
Racers Cafe they have a long history in Parkville and known for micro beers.
Signs 2day for the excellent work they produce, that the owner gives back to the community, and the exterior of the building has a real "Main Street" look t it.

I love Racer's, it has been a mainstay forever. I like Palmisano's pizza and the staff has always been friendly. I also had a watch repaired at Ed Winkler and Sons and they did a nice job.

Consider doing a piece on Mastellone's; it's one of the best Italian delis in the area and a little-noticed cousin to DiPasquale's in Highlandtown.
Maybe you should just start at one end of Harford and work you way to the other, then choose another street and run the same pattern. (-:

I nominate Parkville Crabs! It is a small establishment with big taste. Maryland steamed crabs are their specialty and they are delicious. You definately get your monies worth. Scott Schoenberger, the owner is always donating to local causes to support their missions.

How about Toscana's Italian Deli on Harford Road? It has great food, excellent service, and seems to always be involved in doing something for a local charity.

Another cool place to look into would be Collector's Corner - the Comic Book Shop extraordinaire right in Parkville, on Harford Road!
