If it’s a secret that Annapolis is absolutely obsessed with its place in history and the depth of its own roots – it’s a poorly kept one. And if it’s a secret that people are forever searching for ghosts, poltergeists and other things that go bump in the night, it’s an equally poorly kept one. [...]
Since 1966 Anne Arundel County has leased the Eisenhower Golf Course property from the City of Annapolis pursuant to a 50-year contract. For the first 30 years of the deal, Annapolis reportedly got $5,000 and one-fifth of the profits greater than $5,000. Today it gets half of the profits which amounted to $125k. In the [...]
As promised we’re going to be looking at a Winter Walkabout as well as a couple of Bull and Oyster roasts, which we’ll supplement with a glance across the bridge over to Easton Waterfowl Festival. The weather is looking clear and gorgeous this weekend so all sorts of outdoor options become available. Sunday does look [...]
The upstart traitors of the so-called “Maritime Republic of Eastport” have once again challenged their Annapolis betters to another Slaughter Across the Water to begin this Saturday at about noonish. The brigands from Eastport were never very punctual so give them a few minutes to stop quaking in terror to mount their best effort to [...]
The easy way to sum up this week’s events in and around Annapolis are drinking to your health, eating a bunch of oysters and then engaging in rigorous tugs of war. It may read as a little vague but it’s all actually quite literal. And not a little bit surprising either. With all the Halloween [...]

This week's events are kind of niche-y and for that we have to apologize but we don't make the coolest events and more-fun-than-anyone-can-possibly-stand happenings, we just tell everyone what the best ones are. If you're down for more general interest type things take advantage of the season and scrape your eyes over our Halloween fun [...]
The creature feature in Annapolis continues as the haunted holiday approaches ever nearer. Ever closer. Breathing on your neck. What's that? Spooks, specters or ghosts if the mythology holds up. For those who like their Halloween drama on the reality TV side of things, there's a casting call for "My strange addiction," which we guess [...]
As the boats from the United States Yacht company's annual powerboat show chug chug chug off into the sunset and the City of Annapolis recovers from two of the largest boat shows of their kind in the world, it's just about time to reap the benefits of this season by scaring yourself or someone you [...]
For a slower time of year the action in Annapolis is really speeding up this week as the boat shows transition between two types of boats, Halloween horror ramps up, a neighborhood of 650+ throws a yard sale, and Bank of America holds a convention near D.C. to talk with mortgage holders. The [...]
