World’s largest diaper drive

Diapers are expensive as crap. About $100 a month per kid. That’s tough on low-income families. That’s why Anne Arundel County’s Walk the Walk Foundation is joining organizations across the country to participate in the World’s Largest Diaper Drive. The goal is to collect 2 million diapers this week to distribute to families in need. Walk the Walk provided Anne Arundel families with over 150,000 diapers last year.

How can you help? Host a mini-drive, drop off diapers, write a check, or volunteer. Here’s all the info you need.

What is a cottage food law?

Did your neighbor start making and selling treats out of their house during covid? One, lucky you. Two, you’re not alone. Lots of home-based food businesses sprung up in Anne Arundel County over the last three years. Some make cookies, some make bread, but all have one thing in common. They’re made possible by cottage food laws which dictate what and how much can be made and sold from your own personal kitchen. ($)

Local hoteliers buy Middleton Tavern building

The Annapolis Capital Partners, proprietors of 134 Prince luxury boutique hotel (don’t miss their May Day basket), purchased the Middleton Tavern building in an off-market transaction last week. Across almost 11,000 square feet, the building hosts Middleton Tavern, Annapolis Glassworks, and Chesapeake Properties.

Later this year the group will replace the roof with a copper roofing system and install an underground stormwater drainage system. One thing that’s not in the plans? Restaurant management. They will not have a role managing Middletown Tavern.

💰️ How much? The historic building (likely occupied as early as 1740) went for $3.3 million.
