URBAN LOVE

Union Row at a Glance

What' So Great about DC anyway?
I love the city, the honking horns, sights and sounds, oh and the glorious mixture of foods. But recently I realized that beyond all the real estate I have shown, listed and sold, the city is my passion. So for my blog readers in 2012 I will be fully engaged in pockets of Washington, DC, with some sprinkles of the suburbs here and there. We invite your thoughts, inspirations and suggestions--so reach out and touch us.

Where to focus in the city, is that really necessary? The neighborhoods are so vastly different from each other offering their own bedazzle to city life and reasons to love and treasure "thy neighborhood.' Talk to any city dweller and they will shout to the rooftops, as to why their "hood" is the best hands down to anywhere else the city as to offer. So the communities I pick is because of a special fondness each peculiar to its own. My hope is that my passion will manifest itself in my words.

Adjacent to the Nations Capitol, Washington,DC  is home to three national sports teams, a myriad of theater houses including the famed Kennedy Center along with a plethora of entertainment, museums and other tourist attractions.

Robbing you of fun-filled Saturday afternoons. Now that you have a place to live would you like to walk to the store instead of driving? Concerned over adding more pollution to atmosphere? Need a health walk in the afternoon and still be able to pick up the groceries?

Spectacular Waterfront Views of Annapolis Maryland- Grand Reopening of Market House

Yesterday Annapolis had the Grand Reopening of the Market House. It was fun to be in the mix with the vendors, locals and some radio personalities as they basked in the glow of a time gone by. This place has changed through the years. I remember as a child growing up in Virginia, it was a real treat to come over to Annapolis to the Market House, we ate steamed crabs and spiced shrimp, sipped an icy and let ice cream melt down your hands. Now that was way to spend a hot summer afternoon on a Saturday or Sunday. Then of course we would watch the sailboats on your fathers shoulders and maybe he might help you fly that kite that had been sitting in the basement, you know the one with the dust and cobwebs. Yes that was Annapolis, circa 1980 and they were good times.

 

The Market House now features local artist and natural grocers(Maryland Table), healthy sandwiches and snacks, and Asian fusion. Not quite a blast from the past when every vendor featured MD seafood, crabs, shrimp, oysters on the half shell, clams to name just a few. The vendors are temporary on a 6-months rotating lease. The line up is: Chick & Ruth’s Delly, b.b. Bistro, Firenzes Coffee & Gelato, Jerrie’s on the Shore, Maryland Table, Myra’s Popcorn Kitchen, Pit Boys Oyster & Raw Bar, Wimsey Cove Framing and Art, and Wok Your Way.

The Market House is a nice addition to the Annapolis Waterfront vibe of outdoor shops of men and women's clothier, fine arts and jewelry, whimsical crafts and loads of restaurants and bistros. Not to mention homemade fudge and at least 6 different ice cream shops and don't forget the beautiful sailboats in every color as far as the eye can see.

Annapolis Waterfront is home to some very special homes and condo developments for those who want a slice of this life everyday not just on the weekends. The condo units pictured above just beyond the sail boats are all waterfront homes.
