Local Business Spotlight: Chill Axes
Throwing axes is not just for a few weekends at the Renn Fest anymore! Now, you can get your fix at Anne Arundel County’s newest entertainment spot– Chill Axes. Tucked in a building right near the intersection of Route 3 and Route 424 in Crofton, this promises to be a one or two hour time […]
Local Business Spotlight: Maryland Federation of Art
It’s not just a gallery on State Circle. That was the big takeaway for me as we talk to Joann Vaughan from the Maryland Federation of Art. The Circle Gallery is but one of the ways they coordinate getting art to the masses. We discuss how they have reacted to COVID, how to best support […]
Local Business Spotlight: Tobias and Company
Before Christmas I had never heard of Annapolis based Tobias And Company; and then I got an incredibly cool gift that just screamed Annapolis–a Knockers of Annapolis necktie.

Local Business Spotlight: Flag House Inn
So what does an IT guy and his teacher wife do when they get the feeling they may be burning out but are way too young to retire? They buy a bed and breakfast in Annapolis of course! Today, we sit down with (yes, actually sit down with) Marty Etzel who, along with his wife […]
Local Business Spotlight: Quantum Sails
According to Charlie Saville, he’s been sailing since he was in a bassinette. Apparently that is true, so it makes sense that he is the Global Director of Client Care for Quantum Sails–the world’s second largest sailmaker which got its start here in Annapolis back in 1996. In the past 25 yeaars, they have grown […]
Local Business Spotlight: Woodcraft Artisans
Merja Washburn has owned Woodcraft Artisans on Main Street for more than ten years and if you have an ounce of appreciation for water or boating, this is a must-see store. Custom teak furniture and home goods abound but the custom wooden maps are amazing. If you have a connection to any body of water, […]
Local Business Spotlight: Frances Marketing Group
Judy Buddensick suffers from volunteeritis and has made many friends and connections in Annapolis over the past 20 years. Naturally, in 2017 it made sense to start a marketing company!

They may be new to Arnold, but Zeskind’s Hardware & Millwork has been a name in the area for nearly 100 years! Today, we speak with Rick Miller who is the third generation to own the company that started as a small hardware store in Baltimore. Today, they still have that same store (where you […]
Legacy Business Spotlight: Rotary Club of Parole (Encore Presentation)
Today, we peel back the veil on the Rotary! What IS a Rotary Club? And more specifically, what about the Rotary Club of Parole! I knew they parked cars at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. I also knew about BIG. But I did not know the sheer reach of this Annapolis organization on a global […]
Legacy Business Spotlight: Mother’s Peninsula Grille (Encore Presentation)
Mother Dave loves the restaurant business and it shows!

Flashback 20 years. I am sitting in a 12″ tall chair at a 24″ tall table at Weems Creek Nursery School. Today, we speak with Mary Ostrowski who is the owner of the venerable Weems Creek Nursery School in West Annapolis. My own kids attended nursery school and kindergarten there way back when and not […]
Legacy Business Spotlight: Hospice of the Chesapeake
The end of life is not easy….for anyone. Thankfully, we have the Hospice of the Chesapeake. Hospice was a bit of a mystery to me, so we went and sat down with Ben Marcantonio who is the President and CEO of Hospice of the Chesapeake. We learned about their origins as one of the earliest […]

We all hear about being green and lessening the carbon footprint. Solar energy is one way and this week we speak to the local experts on solar energy– Solar Energy Services in Millersville! Rick Peters is the president of this company with 40 years of experience and we talk about the first solar project in […]
Legacy Business Spotlight: Annapolis Green (Encore Presentation)
Like most good ideas, it all starts with a drink. And Annapolis Green is no exception. About 15 years ago, Lynne Forsman founded a chapter of Green Drinks in Annapolis. At the same time, Elvia Thompson was working with the Spa Creek Conservancy trying to help better the environment. The two met, decided to put […]
