Antiques & Auctions in Maryland

This is the type of shop where you could easily spend many hours looking in every nook and cranny, and no doubt finding all sorts of wonderful items!

If you've always wished you could shop in an area reminiscent of the town of Mayberry, this is the place!  There are a couple of great antique dealers, nice little places to grab a bite to eat, and lots of history and gorgeous scenery!  Bring your camera, and don't forget to hit the Brunswick Train Museum with the kids!

This is exactly what an antique shop should be!  It has a relaxed atmosphere with service that's not too pushy, and not too lax.  It's just a great place to spend some time, and there are treasures for every taste and budget!

A nice little antique district with a good variety of restaurants to suite any taste.

Dozens of shops ranging from the simple to the bizarre.  Very pricey but you can find some good deals.  Bring your walking shoes because the strip is about two miles long!

Savage Mills
Savage, Md

Unique shopping in a renovated historic textile mill.  Worth the trip, but the better items are on the expensive side.  There's plenty to do and see!

Town of New Market
New Market, Md.

Antiques Capital of Maryland, ...or so they say.  We thought it was overpriced.  Way overpriced.

Town of Leesburg
Leesburg, Virginia

About ten good shops, but a cool little town.  They get kudos for quality but pricing is high, high, high!

Antiques & Auctions in West Virginia

This is one of those eclectic shops that ranges from junk to gems.  Nice mix of items.  Prices vary.

Tourist trap.  This place is like a garage sale with horrible prices. Worth seeing at least once.  Decent restaurants.

Antiques & Auctions in Pennsylvania

You'll have to see it to believe it.  This is the ultimate retro decor shop and it's HUGE!  The proprietor is kind of weird and will follow you around but he's a nice guy so it's okay.

Best auctions around, hands down.

The absolute best place to find a massive selection of antique lighting,...just lighting.

Kind of junkie but the prices seemed okay

Banking in Maryland

The Columbia Bank

It just doesn't get any better than this!

BB&T
Frederick, Md

Read the review

These people are financial rapists!

Bank of America
Everywhere in the USA

My review: To hell with them!

This bank caters to allowing illegal immigrants (who are indeed criminals) banking privileges. They don't deserve a review.  I consider them traitors to the United States, and a major contributor to the invasion we are currently suffering.

It's okay as beaches go.  Worth the trip.

Do your homework before spending time there.

Washington DC

See the Smithsonian buildings, avoid the NE and SE areas.

Founded in the 1700's this town hasn't really changed since that time.  Charming!

Historic town and home of everything related to apples that you can think of, but booooring!

Recreation

Located in the heart of Brunswick's historic district, this museum is packed with history and must-see for model train enthusiasts!

History abounds in the area where one of the greatest battles was fought.

It would take a lifetime to see it all.  Incredible!

Fun for the whole family, this is an immense zoo.

It starts here but goes on for about 600 miles.  Beautiful views and a relaxing drive.

White water rafting and tubing are a blast on a hot summer day!  Very safe and great for the whole family!

Just a wonderful drive over a mountain with beautiful scenery all year 'round.

A nice place where you city folk can spend a down to Earth afternoon at a real orchard.

See the ongoing renovation of a beautiful Victorian era home.

Recreational  Sports

All four states in our area offer excellent opportunities including the Appalachian Trail and the C&O Canal.

All four states are loaded with great fishing from trout to tiger muskies.  You name it, we have it.

Again, all four states.  Everything from squirrels to wild boar.

Again, we have it all including Annapolis, 'Sail Boat Capitol of the World'.
