Remembering Violet Gainer
Violet Gainer was a tough woman, believe me. Violet was known by many Annapolitans as a generous and caring neighbor, a hometown hospitality waitress. It is sad that in just one week the first block of Prince George Street lost two long term, established residents. Robert Campbell passed away on April 3rd. .
Violet is less likely to get the Capital newspaper coverage but she was no less an integral part of this unique community. Rest in Peace.
Violet @ Dockside Restaurant 1978
Violet @ Dockside Restaurant September 1981
GAINER, VIOLET M., 85, died April 11, 2010 of Alzheimer's Disease. Born and educated in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, she lived in Annapolis for nearly 50 years. She and her late husband, Lloyd Gainer, who died in 1997, moved to Maryland in the 1960's. Violet worked first in retail in Annapolis and at a popular bakery. For years, Violet was a waitress at the Dockside Restaurant, now the Federal House. Dockside attracted a great number of regular customers from Annapolis and out of town. Many of them left with fond memories of the lively, diminutive waitress who served them. Customers became friends who kept in touch with Violet after she retired. Over the years, she remembered them with holiday, birthday and other cards. They reciprocated. If she could help a person, she did so willingly, which often resulted in a new friend. Violet walked regularly through downtown Annapolis, where she was well known in many stores and businesses. She loved to sew, crochet and cook. Her friends were the beneficiaries of cookies, muffins and other goodies from her kitchen. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Queen Anne's, 55 Comet Drive, Centreville, MD 21617.
Healing Neen
"After surviving a childhood of abuse and neglect, Tonier “Neen” Cain lived on the streets for two nightmarish decades, where she endured unrelenting violence, hunger and despair while racking up 66 criminal convictions related to her addiction. Incarcerated and pregnant in 2004, treatment for her lifetime of trauma offered her a way out... and up. Her story illustrates the consequences that untreated trauma has on individuals and society at-large, including mental health problems, addiction, homelessness and incarceration. Today, she is a nationally renowned speaker and educator on the devastation of trauma and the hope of recovery."
Tea Party Safely Crosses Street
It seems that I hopped into my yTinyMobile just in time for the Tea Party folks to cross Randall St. Nobody died. There were not so many partiers this year and I was barely delayed at all. Last year there was a sea of umbrellas in the pouring rain.

The Smoke Shop
Even if you're not a smoker, if you find yourself wandering down Maryland Avenue take a moment to visit The Smoke Shop.
The Smoke Shop was established in 1948 and remains a local fixture downtown. Step inside and the warm, cozy scents of various tobaccos fill the air, several gentlemen seated comfortably (often with their dogs) enjoying a smoke and the daily paper. Everyone is friendly and you can step back in time more easily than on any tour.
It aint about location, location, location...it’s about people, heart, soul, and community.
You Are Beautiful
He obviously knows. I followed this orange cat as he flirted his way along the sidewalk until he flopped down right here. I did not even see the graffiti until I was looking at the images later.
On Pointe Dance Studio on Maryland Ave.
A newer addition to Maryland Ave. that seems to fit. There is something nice about wandering by to see a bunch of kids practicing at the bar. I love the colors of the tutu display in the window.
