Local Business Spotlight: Wild Kid Acres 2025
In 2019, Gerardo Martinez had a crazy idea to buy a vacant lot in Edgewater that was overgrown and had become a town dumping spot and turn it into a sustainable farm. Here we are five years later and is an international model for sustainability and Gerardo now sits as the Goodwill Ambassador for Regenerative Agriculture at the United Nations! To say this little farm has come a long way is a gross underestimate. We spoke with Gerardo and wanted to catch up and see what was new. Farm visits continue, but has expanded to include a huge educational element. Gone is the cinder block shed, replaced with a 10,000 SF barn built by a small Army (err I mean Navy) of volunteers. The present is busy, and the future looks bright as Gerardo takes his ideas around thye globe to demonstrate how farms will sustain us in so many ways--with nourishment to community! And to celebrate their success, they are hosting a 5-YEar Anniversary Celebration on October 4th! Have a listen. LINKS: (Website) (Instagram) (Facebook)

Bonus Podcast: The 2025 Boat Shows Will Be More Exciting and Look a Bit Different This Year!

Bonus Podcast: The 2025 Boat Shows Will Be More Exciting and Look a Bit Different This Year!
Annapolis is gearing up for one of its signature traditions this fall — the return of the world-famous Annapopis Powerboat and Annapolis Sailboat Shows. First up is the Annapolis Powerboat Show from October 2–5, followed by the Annapolis Sailboat Show from October 9–12. Tickets are on sale now, and we caught up with Mary Ewenson, one of the show’s owners, to get the inside scoop. Mary shared what attendees can expect this year: the sheer number of boats on display, the exciting debuts of some very cool new models, and why both serious buyers and casual dreamers will want to make their way to City Dock in Downtown Annapolis. We also talked logistics, from parking and dining, to how the shows are being organized amid ongoing construction. Of equal (if not more) importance, we got an answer to the burning question, "What will we do without a Pusser's Painkiller?" Most importantly, we discussed what these shows mean to Annapolis, not just as a community gathering but as a cornerstone of the global boating world. Have a listen.

Craig Cussimanio - https://www.craigforward6.com/ The future of Annapolis is on the ballot this year, and the first big step comes on Tuesday, September 16th, with the Democratic Primary. While there are no contested Republican primaries, Democratic voters will be making critical choices in Ward 1, Ward 3, Ward 4, Ward 6, and for Mayor. The winners here will move on to November’s general election, where they’ll be joined by candidates in Ward 2, Ward 5, Ward 7, and Ward 8. This election could not be more important. Annapolis will elect a new mayor and see a majority of the City Council change hands. If you’ve ever wanted your voice heard—if you’ve ever wanted change—this is the time to show up and vote. Local elections determine how our neighborhoods grow, how our streets are maintained, how our taxes are spent, and how our future is shaped. Every single vote matters, and staying home is simply not an option. To help voters make informed decisions, we invited every candidate in a contested race to join us for an unedited podcast conversation. Each candidate was asked the same questions—none of which were provided in advance—and all had the opportunity to answer freely, speak at length, and close with their own pitch to voters. These were not polished campaign ads, but candid conversations meant to give you a better sense of the people behind the campaign signs. We encourage every voter to listen to these conversations. They’re raw, honest, and a chance to hear directly from the people who want to represent you. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your own decision based on what you hear—not just what you see on a mailer or a yard sign.

Candidate Spotlight: Ben Bramsen (W1 Alderman)

Candidate Spotlight: Ben Bramsen (W1 Alderman)
Ben Bramsen - https://www.benforannapolis.com/ The future of Annapolis is on the ballot this year, and the first big step comes on Tuesday, September 16th, with the Democratic Primary. While there are no contested Republican primaries, Democratic voters will be making critical choices in Ward 1, Ward 3, Ward 4, Ward 6, and for Mayor. The winners here will move on to November’s general election, where they’ll be joined by candidates in Ward 2, Ward 5, Ward 7, and Ward 8. This election could not be more important. Annapolis will elect a new mayor and see a majority of the City Council change hands. If you’ve ever wanted your voice heard—if you’ve ever wanted change—this is the time to show up and vote. Local elections determine how our neighborhoods grow, how our streets are maintained, how our taxes are spent, and how our future is shaped. Every single vote matters, and staying home is simply not an option. To help voters make informed decisions, we invited every candidate in a contested race to join us for an unedited podcast conversation. Each candidate was asked the same questions—none of which were provided in advance—and all had the opportunity to answer freely, speak at length, and close with their own pitch to voters. These were not polished campaign ads, but candid conversations meant to give you a better sense of the people behind the campaign signs. We encourage every voter to listen to these conversations. They’re raw, honest, and a chance to hear directly from the people who want to represent you. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your own decision based on what you hear—not just what you see on a mailer or a yard sign. September 16th is your chance to make a real impact on the future of Annapolis. Mark your calendar, remind your neighbors, and most importantly—show up and vote.

Bonus Podcast: SPARK Your Imagination at the Captain Avery Museum in Shady Side

Bonus Podcast: SPARK Your Imagination at the Captain Avery Museum in Shady Side
Tucked away in Shady Side is one of the Chesapeake’s true hidden gems—the . Step through the doors and you’re stepping back into the 1860s, into the life of a waterman making his living from the Bay. It’s a small museum with a big story, and right now it’s hosting something very special. The Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit called SPARK is on display, showing how rural communities across America have solved local problems with the creativity of ordinary people. It’s a fascinating reminder that innovation doesn’t just come from labs and cities—it happens in our neighborhoods too. And while you’re there, don’t miss Buyboats to Beaches, a semi-permanent exhibit that traces 100 years of resiliency on the Chesapeake. The centerpiece is the Norman Gross collection of boat models—each one tied to a personal story, each one a piece of Bay history made tangible. Of course, no Chesapeake museum would be complete without celebrating the oyster, and the Captain Avery Museum does it in style with their annual Oyster Festival. Mark your calendars for October 15th when the grounds will come alive with food, music, and all things oyster. We sat down with Executive Director Elaina Lill Uhl and Board Member Peggy Oriani to talk about what makes the museum so unique, the joy of preserving Bay heritage, and how these exhibits keep the waterman’s story alive for future generations. If you’ve never been to the Captain Avery Museum, it’s worth the trip. History, community, innovation, and oysters—it’s all waiting in Shady Side. Have a listen!
