A Sunrise in Towson can be spectacular, when taken in from a hill.My dad was a sailor, and he always said, "Red sky in morning, sailors take warning..." and that was the case later in the day on Thursday...but man, this sunrise was just gorgeous.I am lucky to be able to observe from a hill both sunrises and sunsets.So I can see gorgeous Towson Sunsets, and then this, a spectacular Towson Sunrise.

Best Way To Show Me The Attic   When showing this new listing 577 Woodbine Ave 21204, questions about the size of the attic came up.   Immediately my owners took these photos below  And their email said: "Here are the attic pictures I promised. The rope hanging down is the pulley over the double trap door. The piles are the attic insulation covered with the silver reflective attic foil insulation. The depressed areas in the silver are the catwalks to be able to move around."And another email...'' I think for some people the attic may be a selling point, oddly. The attic is much larger than most people would imagine. I just measured and the attic has 720 sq ft of buildable space with a 71/2’ ceiling.  Each window alcove is 7’x 41/2’.  I did not include area outside the main vertical supp... 05/30/2015

Springtime...in Towson, Maryland.I bet you were expecting some pretty flowers or trees in bloom. (We do have those, too!)Well, since the weather is warm, and the sun is even warmer, my chihuahua is ready to soak it up. He likes to sun himself on the back patio. He looks forward to the warmer weather every year. He could stay out there for hours, barking at the wind, the sound of traffic, and pretty much whatever noise comes around. But he somehow does it all with his eyes closed, seemingly relaxed, barely moving, except for that little mouth.Enjoy Spring!For any real estate needs in Towson, Maryland or around the Baltimore Metropolitan area,THINK MARNEY IN MARYLAND!Marney KirkKeller Williams Excellence Realty2331 York Road, Suite 100   Lutherville Timonium, MD 21093E-mail: realtormarney... 04/21/2015

Villagio Cafe - Baltimore, MD My friend, Dawn, and I were looking for a new place to try for lunch and my hairdresser, Mitra from Aqua Salon, recommended Villagio Cafe.  I have always loved ethnic foods, I like to try new flavors and new tastes and one of my favorites is Persian style food.   So, today we decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. Parking was a bit of a challenge but, there are meters in front and for 50 cents you can park for an hour.   The Villagio Cafe is located at 6805 York Road in the Stoneleigh neighborhood of Towson/Baltimore.   The restaurant is comfortable with about a dozen or so tables, it is brightly lit and the staff are attentive and friendly.   We started out with Baba Ganoush.  This is one of my favorites.  I've had this elsewhere and it's n... 03/23/2015

Burger Bros - Baltimore's Best Burger We hadn't even intended on having a burger.  We were going to Towson Hot Bagels but when we got there, there was a sign on the door that they were closed at 3pm today (normally they are open until 5pm).  I had my heart set on one of their bagels (Baltimore's best bagel).  So, we stumbled into Burger Bros next door at 14 Allegheny Avenue in Towson instead.  They were right next door and the restaurant look inviting enough and looked clean.  We had an hour to wait until we could pick up my son from school and I was hungry.   We weren't sure what to expect, the restaurant was empty and it was freezing cold (inside as well as outside). I'm glad we did.  I learned that Burger Bros. was voted Baltimore's Best Burger by Baltimore Magazine.  I do love a goo... 01/07/2015

Towson Visitors In For a Shock When Paying for Parking I met a client in Towson this morning for breakfast.  I took $1.00 out of my wallet and paid for my parking and put the ticket on the dash of my car and went in to the restaurant.  We were a little late coming out of the restaurant (5 minutes) and as I walked up to my car in the parking lot I was met by a parking enforcement officer at my car writing, what I thought was a ticket.  I got off with a warning today but he told me that the price of parking has gone up in Towson.  On July 1, visitors will now pay $2.00 an hour to park in Towson.  It used to be $1.00.  So,make sure you have extra change in your car or be prepared to pay the $4.00 maximum for 2 hours of parking in Towson with your credit card.  07/02/2014
