The helmets at McGarvey's, new anti-discrimination law, let's go sailing...
Good morning, Annapolis. Weâre exactly 1 month away from Dinner Under the Stars. For the uninitiated, thatâs when part of West Street shuts down and we dance, eat, and play pickleball under string lights and stars. Itâs rad.
In todayâs Naptown Scoop:
The flight helmets at McGarveyâs
New anti-discrimination law
Letâs go sailing
Letâs get to it.

This Annapolis Hope fundraiser is SWEET đŚ

Yo yo yo. I rarely open like that but itâs tough to hide my excitement because this story combines 2 of my favorite things.
Ice cream & Annapolis Hope.
Real quick. If you donât know Annapolis Hope, itâs the fundraiser weâre running to keep a local family who lost their breadwinner in a triple murder in their home. We have half the money we need and 4 months to get the rest. Thatâs why weâre thankful for our friends at Always Cream Company.
On May 15, theyâre donating 20% of sales from their Main Street and West Annapolis stores to Annapolis Hope. You donât even have to mention the fundraiser to help! So hereâs what we need from you.
Weâre trying to sell $10,000 of ice cream and raise $2,000 for Annapolis Hope.
So send your kids to school with some cash in their pocket and pick them up at Annapolis Ice Cream Company. Or skip dessert at home and venture out Always Ice Cream in West Annapolis.
I, Scoop Publisher Ryan, will be getting a forearm workout (AKA scooping cones) on Main Street from 2:30â3:30 PM and in West Annapolis from 5:30â7:30 PM.
So come see us and order a double scoop or better yet, a milkshake!
Annapolis Ice Cream Company: 196 Main St, Annapolis, MD 21401
Always Ice Cream Company: 116 Annapolis St, Annapolis, MD 21401
Thank you so much to the Cohen family at Always Ice Cream Company for stepping up and helping us with Annapolis Hope.

THE DIGEST
Come Sail Away âľď¸
Admit it. You definitely started singing the Styx song after reading that. Well, the weatherâs getting warmer and all of Annapolisâ sailing experiences are now, well. . . sailing.
The Schooner Woodwind offers a true sailing experience on their beautiful, wooden, 74-foot schooners, where you help raise the sails, steer the boat, or simply sit back and relax. Take in the historic Annapolis waterfront and Naval Academy as you cruise into the Chesapeake Bay.
The Annapolis Maritime Museumâs historic skipjack Wilma Lee is available for public cruises, private charters, and education programs. Stay tuned because weâve got an exciting announcement about the Wilma Lee coming up soon.
P.S. Annapolis has other ways people without boats can get on the water but they arenât all up and running yet. Weâll let you know when they are.
Who gave their helmet to McGarveyâs?
One of Annapolisâ most beloved watering holes, McGarveyâs, is about to turn 50. And unlike many people, they arenât afraid of it. Probably because bars donât get wrinkles. Over the years, patrons have donated about 30 flight crew helmets that sit above the bar. Thereâs Air Force, Army, Marines, emergency services, and obviously some Navy. You canât miss âem. Well, McGarveyâs wants to know whose they are so they can make plaques with the heroâs name, where they served and how long, and what aircraft they flew. So if you donated a lid or know someone who did, email [email protected] so we can make this happen.
Anne Arundelâs new anti-discrimination law
County Council passed a big law this week. It expands existing discrimination protections in a big way. Previously, the county only had authority over housing discrimination. Now it has authority over non-county jobs and âpublic accommodations.â Public accommodations are facilities that may be publicly or privately owned that are used by the public at large. Think hotels, restaurants, schools. That sort of thing.
Complaints will be reviewed by the countyâs Human Relations Commission, a 13-member, all-volunteer group created in 2020 to counteract racism, discrimination, and hate in Anne Arundel County. The hope is that giving the county authority to handle these complaints will save the plaintiffs from the purgatory of state and federal backlogs. ($)

LOCAL BUSINESS
Shop Local with Local Coast đď¸
You already read about two of Scoopâs favorite things above. Want to know two more? Supporting local businesses and shopping of course. Luckily, these can also be combined because weâre all about some efficiency. Enter Local Coastâs third annual Shop Local Event this Saturday (4/20). It takes place at Rugby Hall Marina (at the intersection of Rugby Rd and Buckingham Rd) from 11 AMâ4 PM. A few familiar faces â aka vendors â are Local Coast (duh), Winnie Harper, and Gray Wolf Spirits. Hereâs the full list!
IKEA Plan and order point opens at Harbour Center
You know whatâs overwhelming? 375,000 square feet of furniture you canât pronounce in a maze with the tantalizing smell of Swedish meatballs around every corner. Thatâs why IKEA just opened a new concept at the Harbour Center. IKEA calls it a Plan and Order Point with Pick-up. But thatâs a mouthful so weâll call it Mini IKEA.
Mini IKEA is just 3,219 square feet. Experts are there for one-on-one design help. And when you find what you like, you order right there and it gets shipped to your house. Theyâll even help you hire assembly help on Taskrabbit. No meatballs though. But you can always hit the PA Dutch Farmers Market for some fresh ground beef and make those at home.
Nothing in this section is sponsored. They're just the things you need to know. I'll always let you know when something's sponsored.
