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.
Public Sales Office
I planned to start this blog to document what makes Annapolis Annapolis to me.
I had thought that the Pulic Sales office would be a perfect first post...I was pushed to post sooner than I had planned. Yesterday I had been walking the town and stopped to snap these shots for the post, upon arriving home I found this obituary in the Capital.

I am fairly certain that Mr. Lerner was the gentleman who ran the Public Sales Office. The PSO was a fixture here since 1971 on Main St. It has always had a window full of sunglasses, harmonicas, binoculars, and pocket combs. It was the place for guitar strings. Only open odd hours and always a curiosity. I am saddened to see that it will now likely disappear.
If anyone has anything to add as a remembered feel free to share. Other special sides of Annapolis are appreciated. In this web culture I almost never see enough positive press on the businesses and areas of Annapolis that I respect most. My intention in starting this blog is to keep alive the part of myself that still loves her hometown.
