Throwback Thursday: What Ellicott City Businesses Do You Miss?

ELLICOTT CITY, MD--While Giant Food stores offer convenient services and chain restaurants are plentiful, nothing beats a neighborhood coffee shop or family-owned hardware store.

Unfortunately, sometimes mom and pop can’t keep these shops open for one reason or another.

We asked Patch Readers in Ellicott CIty what extinct local business they’d bring back from the dead. Here’s a list of one-time favorites:

• “Enchanted Forest!”
• “Bears Paw West quilt shop”
• “Tyler’s”
• “Isella’s”
• “The Christmas Company and Suitable Shirts”
• “MamaMade Boutique and Fischers Bakery”
• “Main Street blues”
• “Sidestreets restaurant”
• “Fischers bakery”
  
• “Forest Diner”
