Despite our best efforts to both rally our own Annapolis troops (excepting of course, the Navy who showed dignity and pride in defeating Army in their heat) and to dishearten the oft-rebellious legions of the Maritime Republic of Eastport, the Slaughter Across the Water has ended in a tie. But, if the war is only [...]
It’s so bad it could be a federal disaster. There’s precedent – in 2008 low crab yields led to a federal disaster declaration freeing up millions to prop up watermen by buying back licenses or hiring them to complete environmental projects. However, with the fledgling commercial oyster season just now underway, watermen are pulling up [...]
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 Washington D.C., Baltimore and Annapolis MD metroplex is rife with its own opportunities for modern and historical entertainment, but for something older, more tactile and special while still remaining relatively close by is Solomons Island. It’s perfect for a weekend trip – day trips are possible too, but spending the weekend ensures ample time [...]

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 [...]
While Russell Rankin, now of eCruisers LLC but then a general contractor, was working construction he said he had plenty of time to solve the world’s problems – many times over. “The work was manual and repetitive, which gave everyone plenty of time to think. We kept throwing ideas around,” he said. What had sparked [...]
The Maryland Transit Authority will be patching up some potholes on the eastbound span of the Bay Bridge that will result in the closure of the eastbound lanes late Friday into early Saturday from 11 p.m. – 7 a.m. and from 9 p.m. on Saturday to 8 a.m. Sunday. This is part of an ongoing [...]
A three-year grant totaling almost $250,000 will support education center at the museum including the program “MUDDY FEET” – short for Maritime Unbounded Damp and Dirty Yucky Fun Environmental Education and Training. Last year, more than 1,850 students were served by the center, and the goal over the next three years is to serve about [...]
