It would be nice if all the sightings showed up under one "pin" in the eBird mapping rather than looking like a pin-cushion. The location I will share with you is the location for the bird when I originally found it on December 9th last year (right in the middle of the parking lot). Quite a few have used this location for their checklists but the majority of the sightings appear all over the map in the general vicinity, making it hard to easily tell the dates of the sightings without clicking on every single pin.

Noon lunch with Blackheaded Gull:
Leo Weigant reports gull was present 11:53 in the parking lot: Hunt Valley Mall between the Burlington Coat Factory and Chipotle. Responds well to bagel bits.....
