As a born and raised Annapolitan Annapolis has always seemed such a pretty town to me. My grandparents and parents all owned and ran businesses downtown back in the Mom & Pop era of business owning. I would spend many a day walking down to the city dock to sit at the waters edge and watch the work boats. Something so calming and peaceful about doing that even at such a young age. Back then there was a 5 & dime on the corner, a grocery store down by ego alley, dress shops and shoe stores interlaced with furniture and crystal shops and the good ol Mom & Pop office supply store (my Dad's). And of course the Market House. Ahh the wonderful fishy smells waffing out as the doors opened and closed were smells of home to me.
Over time downtown Annapolis has changed. Gone are the Mom & Pops, gone are the work boats but the old buildings both commercial and residential have remained, beautifully remained.
As years passed the brick lined streets of old were restored, the power lines running up and down the streets were put underground and flower baskets were added instead. Old homes received facelifts by new owners and old buildings received the same by new tenants. Work boats were replaced by yachts and sailboats, city dock was extened to include a garden and a Kunta Kinde Memorial. As life continued into the 21st century Annapolis grew prettier each day.
Today Annapolis is a bustling city full of artistic talent, world class sailing events, boat shows, coffee shops and specialty stores. It has had its growing pains and businesses have come and gone especially this past year but Annapolis always rebounds and thrives. We must be doing something right as Forbes Traveler Magazine has listed Annapolis as one of America's prettiest towns once again.

This past weekend was my monthly dining out with friends night and this time around we chose a restaurant located in Crofton.
Located in a small shopping center across from the main gates of Crofton on Route 3 Christopher's Restaurant exterior belies the comfortable and tasteful interior. Rich wood tones along with fresh flowers on each table and booth warms you to a menu of delectable combinations that will delight any ones taste buds.
We joined our friends already nestled in a quiet corner booth and began our night of great conversation, delightful service, and food that tickled our tastebuds. From salad to main course Christopher's menu is a blend of Contemporary American Cuisine with a casual flair with each selection perfectly prepared and served.
As our night ended we were more than pleased that we had chosen Christopher's for this months dining experience.
So the next time you are thinking of someplace new to have a wonderful meal why not take a trip to Christopher's in Crofton. You will be delighted that you did.

Annapolis is known for its abundance of waterways and needless to say we have an abundance of marinas along those waterways too. So what a delight when the news came out that 5 local marina's were honored as 'clean' during the states inspection this time around.
So what does 'clean' mean? It means these marina's earned certification for taking on environmentally friendly practices. Practices such as installing rain gardens to treat polluted storm-water to educating boaters on preventing fuel spills. The yacht clubs, marinas, boat ramps and other facilities in the program earn points toward certification for different practices and must be re certified every 3 years. The state run program called the Maryland Clean Marina Initiative is voluntary and yet more and more marinas are joining. All in all Maryland has 139 certified facilities which amounts to 23% of the facilities in the state.
The marinas that were honored in the Annapolis area are:
These marinas show a real commitment to our bay and its tributaries. The bay is so important to everyone along its shores and the life within its waters and by each one of us contributing in even a small way to its health and vitality is a testament to our growing desire to protect this great natural resource.
Our hats are off to each marina that made the effort to go 'clean'. We appreciate your hard work and efforts to protect the future of our bay.

We have not remained immune to the unemployment crisis that has hit the nation but statistically we are doing pretty well. Listed as #14 by state with a 7.2% unemployment rate puts us way below the national average of 9.7%. Yes we are a vibrant community holding our own in this economic downturn.
One of the leading factors to our lower unemployment rate is our diverse employment field. Though government and defense-related fields make up the biggest part of our employment sector we also have a healthy diversity in tourism, commercial, retail and high-tech industries too.
