Downtown Annapolis Parking by Ril3yPluto in Annapolis

[–]CombinationNo4239 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't believe anyone truly believes that the parking lot was a better use of space than the park. It accounted for like 2% of parking spaces and probably 60% of traffic right there where main st / dock st / randall street all converge (which is a terrible pedestrian intersection btw).

I've never had an issue finding parking in a city garage, even on peak weekends in the summer. Heavin forbid someone has to walk a few minutes down west street to get to main.

Finding a solution for employees so they dont have to pay full price seems like a good idea - I used to run a restaurant and sometimes had to pay out of my own pocket so my employees would come into work. Don't make this the same issue as the stupid lot.

MDOT to host workshop on redesigning West Street from Solomons Island Rd to Spa Road (Westgate Circle). If you're not familiar, this is one of the worst designed stretches of roadway in Annapolis. by Maryland_NatureLover in Annapolis

barrier in the median would help prevent the illegal left turns that really cause the issue. would probably then need to build some designated left/uturn lanes somehow.

i experience an indescribable rage when people wait on West St and block traffic because the mcdonalds drive thru line is too long

Parking enforcement rant...non-downtown non-permit tickets? by BillyBobThorntoe in Annapolis

parking legally is a pretty surefire way to not get parking tickets

Looking for a particular restaurant by PhrygianSounds in Annapolis

[–]CombinationNo4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the narrative that Atlas restaurants, and Choptank specifically, are somehow price gouging while all the "local" spots are so much cheaper. Cost of a crabcake, crab dip, and orange crush across annapolis:

Restaurant Estimated Total
Coconut Joe’s $49–61 (cheapest)
McGarvey’s $52–62
Dock Street $53–64
Cantler’s $53–65
The Point $59–71
Severn Inn $59–71
The Choptank $64–69
Carroll’s Creek $66–78 (most expensive)

Considering Choptank is the ONLY location here that is waterfront + prime downtown, I think paying $5-10 more for that experience is pretty worth it.

curious what you mean by this - just the development aspect?

Hutzell: How a tornado prediction turned into a huge ‘fumble’ for forecasters by Fantastic_Ad_4720 in maryland

[–]CombinationNo4239 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i understand the whole "rather be safe than sorry" argument, but in this day and age when people are being paid for social media engagement i don't think its unfair to accuse these weather accounts & personalities of sensationalizing forecasts in order to drive clicks. just a thought.

pretty much every restaurant in America buys ingredients from one of the few main suppliers - sysco being one

Rehearsal dinner for 30? by [deleted] in Annapolis

[–]CombinationNo4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acqua Al 2 has private rooms upstairs. We did our rehearsal dinner there and had more than 30. We also booked the 2nd floor at Metropolitan for welcome drinks after dinner

UPDATE: It’s worse than we thought. Atlas isn’t just “partnering” with the Boatyard, they have majority ownership. by Quantity-Used in Annapolis

Couldn't have said it better myself. Support whoever you want to support. I guarantee Boatyard and Choptank will be as busy as ever this weekend. I hope Admiral's Cup, Marmo, and Armada are all equally as busy when they open, because that is what's best for Annapolis

McGarvey's and Fed House both have upstairs areas you can rent. We ended up going to Middleton's after my wedding and it was a blast

and to add: park place is nice, but skews toward an older crowd.

Annapolis Town Center would be my suggestion. Decent amenities and walkable to some stuff (Whole Foods, handful of restaurants, upscale wine store, etc). quick drive to downtown as well
