What's Up? Annapolis: March 2022

An example being when the digital age came roaring in the early-mid 2000s, we came online with it; and we’re working harder than ever to adapt with new technologies and opportunities. While print is our bread and butter; digital is just as exciting. And our intent is always for your delight.

onstant change. Seems like a fitting theme for March. Besides obvious and cliché metaphors about wonderful or wicked weather that we’ll likely experience this month—that which straddles winter and spring—there are social and economic forces at play in our everyday lives. Variables that challenge us to evolve. What am I getting at here?

For starters, this print magazine is a good agent of change, in and of itself. It’s chock full of articles, content, and advice that I hope you’ll enjoy reading and employ as the seasons transition. Articles about home and health are important this time of year as we clean up our properties and priorities. We also examine the real estate market and how to work it, investment-wise. We have a good dose of environment and recreation; read about historic reflections and everyday opportunities that the Choptank River provides. Ditto for a very personable piece on the history of lacrosse in Maryland. For our Annapolis edition, we interviewed Mayor Gavin Buckley for his take on term two and what’s new. On the Shore, we visit the Town of Denton to explore its past roots and contemporary culture. In Central Maryland, we offer our annual day- and overnight-camp guide to help you plan your kiddos’ summer. There’s all of this and that and more packed into this month’s issues. And all articles are online at Whatsupmag. com, in case you’d like to read the few that aren’t specific to the magazine you hold in your hands.

As we approach our 25th anniversary, we’re sometimes asked “How’d you do it; how’d you manage this for so long?” And one of the answers is that we’re always evolving.
