We are planning a move to the area, do you guys get a lot of snow,

i guess i will say we are from the south where southern hospitality is awesome, what about you,

we dont like big city type places

any suggestions on a town to move to we want lots lots and lots of snow.

moving to frostburg

I am not from Frostburg but I have visited there several times.

Frostburg is a small, quiet college town in the mountains of Western Maryland. While nothing can quite compete with Southern Hospitality, the folks in Frostburg are very friendly.

As for snow, be careful what you ask for because you may receive it. :) There is no shortage of snow in the Frostburg area.

moving to frostburg

Yep. Frostburg gets plenty of snow. Even when other parts of MD don%26#39;t Frostburg will.

As stated before it is a very quiet town (college town)

I don%26#39;t know about southern hospitality but it%26#39;s somewhat close. I know what southern hospitality is and it%26#39;s not exactly that.

Well thank you for your insight, and if anyone has any other info on the area let me know.

thanks. jannell

I have friends that live there and I have been many times.

Frostburg is a great place to live if you like outdoor activities such as skiing, hunting, hiking, fishing, kayaking, etc. You are close to ski resorts in PA and WVa, as well as Maryland%26#39;s Wisp. As the previous posts have said, Frostburg gets a lot snow--lake effect from the Great Lakes, Alberta Clippers and large storms coming up from the south hitting the cold air coming from the northwest. And it stays cold enough to stick around for quite awhile before it melts.

Also, at one time, Frostburg had more bars and more churches per person than any other town in the U.S. Go figure. I guess folks go to church to ask for forgiveness for all the things they do when they are at the bars.

well this sounds like a great place to live what about little kids is it good enough to raise a family in, we love the outdoors and snow. how is the schools, i will be going to the university, but element schools?

Phillips Harborplace - Reservations required?

Can anyone answer this for me? I%26#39;m doing a project for my college English class where I have to make a travel brochuer for Inner Harbor. I%26#39;m including info about Phillips, but it doesn%26#39;t say on their web site about this... Although there is a link for making reservations... Anyway, if anyone can help, I appreciate it! Thanks!

Phillips Harborplace - Reservations required?

That Phillips location is primarily an all you can eat seafood buffet. I have always seen lines out the door so I expect these people are just walking in...thus no reservations required. Either way, if you have been on their site, shoot them off an email and ask. All of the restaurants on the inner harbor are tourist driven, so I suspect there are plenty that have tables for walk-ins.

Phillips Harborplace - Reservations required?

There are 3 Phillips eateries @ Harbor Place. One is an all you can eat seafood buffet- no reservations needed, one is a small ';fastfood'; style counter and the other is the restaurant where depending on when you go you would need reservations

Thanks 6tareg and anga. I was aware of the three different parts of Phillips in the Harborplace. I seem to recall that one of them is more formal and may possibly have a dress code...? And that is the one to which I was referring when I asked about the reservations.

All of the Phillips locations are casual, none would have a dress code.

Capri Condos on 111th ST

I have been researching various condos with 2 or 3 bedrooms and was wondering if anyone has stayed at Capri?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Capri Condos on 111th ST

Speaking to the common elements of the Capri, the indoor pool is very nice and the building itself is well-maintained.

But so much depends on the specific unit you%26#39;ll be renting. They%26#39;re each individually owned and the furnishings and amenities reflect that owner%26#39;s taste and priorities, i.e. it%26#39;s anybody%26#39;s guess what you%26#39;ll find behind the unit door in a building that%26#39;s ~30 years old. Ask for photos, bedding configuration and a complete list of amenities for any unit you%26#39;re considering. You don%26#39;t want to show up with a bunch of rainy-day DVDs for the kids only to find out they%26#39;ve got a VHS player.

The old Gateway

Anyone know if they%26#39;ve completed the contruction at the old Gateway site across from Seacrets? Is it going to be a hotel, condos?? The name?

The old Gateway

It is going to be a luxury condominium building called the Gateway Grand. It looks like it will be a very nice place when it is completed but it costs a fortune to buy a unit there-prices start at 1 million dollars! Please feel free to visit the Gateway Grand%26#39;s website at www.thegatewaygrand.com/index.html for more info and to view the different layouts available.

Eden Roc Motel?

Has anyone ever stayed here? I%26#39;d really appreciate any input? Thanks!

Eden Roc Motel?

Haven%26#39;t stayed there but have relatives that stayed there a few years ago. The motel consists of two buildings-an older oceanblock motel and a more modern oceanfront building with 12 efficiency units (half are oceanfront while the other 6 are non-oceanfront). My relatives stayed in the oceanblock building and said that the room was so dirty that they didn%26#39;t let their kids crawl around on the carpet.They have not stayed at that Eden Roc since that time and wouldn%26#39;t recommend the oceanblock building at all. Last year they stayed at the Dunes Motel and really liked it. Another place that I would highly recommend is the Ocean Mecca, a family-owned and operated motel located around 23rd Street. It is an older motel that has been very well maintained and always seems to be kept squeaky clean. The only negative thing about the place is that only 4 of the rooms are oceanfront. This is one of the few older family owned/operated motels left on the boardwalk that is clean, well-kept, and affordable. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Eden Roc Motel?

The Eden Roc is indeed a relic of early 1950%26#39;s motel design, right down to the color scheme (aquamarine), but is certainly not a pristine example. I would suspect by the exterior that the interior would not updated. I%26#39;d also suspect it won%26#39;t be there much longer.

I stayed at the Eden Roc about 7 years ago. I reserved an ocean front efficiency, but had to stay in the ocean block building one night our first day there. The ocean block room was terrible. It was small, old, dirty, and faced the back of the other building. I was so glad we only had to spend one night there. The ocean front efficiency was much better. It had a small balcony facing the boardwalk and ocean. It could use some updating too, but was okay for us. We did enjoy our stay there. Eden Roc is ok, but only the ocean front efficiencies. Definitely do not stay in the other building.

Hotel in MD or DC

We plan to fly to MD on early of June. We plan to visit DC for a few days. We have several questions to ask:

#1: Where is the best place to stay (from the price side) in DC or MD?

#2: If in MD..then which area or city closed to DC (the safe area please since we bring our toddler)?

#3: Is Baltimore closed to DC? Which side of Baltimore is safe?

#4: Also if in MD, how%26#39;s the transportation to DC?

#5: Is there a good and safe public transportation from MD to DC?

Thanks.

Hotel in MD or DC

#1 - Very hard to answer, there is no one ';best place to stay';. You might have better luck checking the Washington DC forum and looking at the hotel reviews there.

#2 - There are few if any hotels in the close-in Maryland suburbs that I would recommend for Dc visits. Maybe a couple in Silver Spring or Greenbelt, but you%26#39;d spend a fair amount of time and hassle commuting in each day to DC.

#3 - Baltimore is about 40 miles away from Washington. I try not to pick sides. :)

#4 - You can take Metro (subway) into town, but see #2.

#5 - See # 4.

Hotel in MD or DC

If your visting Balt and DC, you might want to stay in Laurel, Maryland. Its right in the middle of both cities with easy access to both. Take the Marc train into Baltimore. Just drive south to College Park or Greenbelt and take the Metro (subway) into DC.

You%26#39;d just want to stay at a good hotel, Holiday Inn or something. Laurel is home to Laurel Park Racecourse and it has some cheap hotels for race fans.

IAD to Rockville, Md...

What is the best way/route to take from IAD into downtown Rockville using Public Transportation (bus, etc.?)

IAD to Rockville, Md...

That%26#39;s going to be a fairly lengthy trip...

You would take the airport bus from Dulles to the West Falls Church Metro (subway) station. From there it%26#39;s about an hour to the Rockville station, using the Orange line from West Falls Church and transferring at Metro Center to the Red line and taking it in the direction of Shady Grove to Rockville.

IAD to Rockville, Md...

Thank you, good to know.
