April 6, 1983 (31 years ago today): A Grand Opening ceremony was held at the Market Place, a redesigned Bowie shopping destination that was formerly known as the Belair Shopping Center. The Market Place was anchored by a new and modern Safeway grocery store. The store was equipped with price scanners, and it was the third largest Safeway on the East Coast at the time.
