So far we have discovered that Maryland's small towns take pride in their heritage and art. Berlin, Maryland is no different.

Last week, Melanie and I ventured out to Berlin for a bit of history and along with a bit of local art. And always, age before beauty so we were off to Germantown. This suburb of Berlin has the privilege to call Charles Albert Tindley their own son.

First Friday in Snow Hill

The Fourth of July is a time spent with family and friends, sharing cold beverages, eating barbeque, and laughing on a lazy, hazy summer day. No better way to experience these things then in Small-Town America, where everyone is nodding and waving, offering lemonade to passers-by, and entering raffles for local charities.

Snow Hill, Maryland has its fireworks and Fourth of July celebrations on the Third of July, and this year it happened to fall on the first Friday of the month. It's on these Fridays that Snow Hill hosts an "Arts on the River Fest", where local shops and galleries have special events and some hit the streets with their new exhibits. In keeping with the local tradition, participating shops hang black lanterns outside in order to let everyone know they are in on the fun.
