This is a Crabcake from The Maryland Crabs! What is a Crabcake? Well, it’s a very short snippet of something you need to know. It might be 5 minutes long..or it might be 20….or longer.. In any event, enjoy your Maryland Crabcake!

Have you noticed? The Annapolis Towne Centre is changing! More live music…pop up shops…art exhibitions…a car show…a Fall Fest…a Fire & Ice Winter Festival…and a new Santa’s Workshop.

Yes, as the area’s premiere shopping center celebrates its 10th year, changes are afoot. The Annapolis Towne Center is more of a community gathering place

where you can shop, rather than the other way around.

Have a listen as we speak with Heather Ernst, the Marketing Director who is making it all happen!

Rock Toews had a very successful online bookselling operation in Eastport for years. And then, in the midst of a recession, he thought it’d be a great idea to open a retail store! So he did! And has never looked back. We thought this seemed a little backward, so we talked about it.

We talked about the move from online to storefront. Some of the things that Annapolis does really well for local businesses. Some things that need work. We talked about the need for businesses coming together to operate more like a mall (yes a mall), and why events like the Santa Speedo Run are absolutely horrible for retail (and he makes a great point).

But if you need a book, check out the inventory at Back Creek Books at 194 Main Street. It’s heavy on history, local interest, and Lincoln. Well worth the browse!
