A Stroll Along Maryland Ave
June 6th, 2008 Categories: Fun Fridays
Just a Short Walk From the Buzz of City Dock and Main Street, a Quaint and Quiet Stretch of Downtown Annapolis
I wonder how many visitors come to Annapolis for a day trip and miss Maryland Avenue entirely. Most, I’m afraid.
Shame, because it’s less crowded than Main Street and the City Dock area, the shops and galleries are great, and the architecture is some of the most striking that you’ll find in town. In the 18th century, Maryland Ave was the most fashionable residential street in the city, and it’s not hard - as you stroll from one end to the other - to imagine the privileged lives of the residents who built some of the homes here.
Here are a few of the sights you’ll see along this historic street.
Love your photos! Like many Annapolis tourists, I too miss Maryland Ave, for that matter, all of Annapolis, MD! Annapolis is such a beautiful city - on the water and a great place to live. Liz Bankston www.AtlantaInTheKnow.com
