Hi all! My son is about to move down to St John’s College this weekend, and I want to get him a few gift cards as a moving gift/birthday present (his birthday is early September). What are some places I should look into? Or even to write down in a card with a Visa gift card?

I know Armadillos is closed now for a "rebranding" as they work through some licensing issues. But heard yesterday that it will reopen as a country and western bar called Maverick.

Will a C&W bar be embraced in Annapolis?

Does anyone know of a place in the greater Annapolis area that serves a good Steak & Ale pie? I've been craving one lately but I don't want to (and probably can't) make one. Thanks!

My partner and I are moving out of the state on Friday and we only have a couple of free days/evenings left. What should we do to wrap up our Annapolis chapter? 🚢🌊

Hi! I recently started a Facebook group called The Bookish Coven for women in the Annapolis/Anne Arundel area who are into fantasy, romantasy, sci-fi, and similar genres, and I'm looking for some other local readers who might want to help get it going!

I'm hoping for it to be a little more relaxed than a traditional book club. We'd have optional monthly group reads, but also just talk about whatever we're currently reading, share recommendations, discuss new releases, etc.

I'd also really like for it to eventually have a social side—casual book discussions, coffee or happy hours, bookstore trips, BYOB/"bring your own book" meetups, and other bookish things around the area.

It's brand new, so there aren't many of us yet, but I figured there had to be some other fantasy/romantasy readers around Annapolis looking for something like this too. 😂

If you're interested, comment or message me and I'll send you the Facebook group!

There google listing now says permanently closed? I suppose that confirms it? Anyone know any details? I've always thought that location is cursed.

I want to lease or buy space for a small hobby machine shop. Preferably it would be in Eastport. The closer to Eastport the better. Any idea how to find out if there is a space for rent where this would be allowed? I tried loopnet.com but it either had just office space or truely industrial areas. The space needed would be say 25'x25' (but flexible here).

Hello! I am a lil south of Annapolis and have been searching for a good way to get out and socialize, I don't know of anywhere that's particularly LGBT friendly - or if there's any other social platforms better suited for this but it's been a bit tough, I try to get out and go places like the Mall and Libraries, but have had almost no luck.

Any suggestions would be appreciated :)

Moving to Davidsonville soon and need some new old furniture for our house. Where are good spots to find reasonable prices on eclectic old pieces? ’d like to keep my drive under an hour but I’ll make a road trip for an awesome seller.

thanks!!

I’m looking to rent an apartment in Downtown Annapolis. From what I’ve seen, a lot of the apartments downtown are in smaller/historic buildings managed by different property management companies.

So far, I’ve come across Flagship Property Management, Chesapeake Property Management Realty, and Chase Property Management.

Does anyone have experience renting from any of these? Or know of any other companies/landlords that own or manage apartments downtown?

I’m specifically looking to be actually downtown/walkable to Main Street, not Annapolis Town Center or the larger apartment complexes outside of downtown.

Any recommendations or places to avoid would be appreciated!

Hey all!

I'll be visiting Annapolis from Australia mid-September, looking for any food/drink recommendations from locals!
Unfortunately I won't be able to explore the rest of your beautiful state as I'm only free after work :(

Very appreciative of any local guidance you all might have!

Cheers

I’m looking for a reliable and trustworthy cleaner. Every week or every other week. Since I need it so frequently I’m hoping each cleaning will be on the cheaper side. If anyone has an individual or company the trust please let me know.

I'm really sad about this one. Naty's was on West Street at the end of the strip mall with Zip's dry cleaners.

I have to admit it's a really bad location for a restaurant, but Natty's had really, really good Tex Mex. I know we inundated with Mexican places here, but they stood out asa favorite of mine.

Curious how and why a sailboat is sitting on the beach at Sandy point.
