  • Conveniently located right in the heart of Glen Burnie is a tiny building that has taught many people how to sling drinks. Making cocktails is an art unto itself! The Maryland Bartending Academy has been here since 1980 to show you just what you need to know to make the perfect drink. Click the link to see more details. (Maryland Bartending)
  • Maryland did not miss out on "Beatlemania!" September 1964 Baltimore played host to many screaming women... and men, when the fab four called the Beatles rocked the house. Just a few weeks ago, Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were in Baltimore again. They weren't playing together, just happened to be in the same city at the same time. (MD History)
  • If you live in or around Glen Burnie, then you know about Ann's Dari Creme! It's tiny red and white building that has been on Ritchie Highway since 1951. It stood its ground when ground was breaking for the Marley Station Mall and survived the 2020 pandemic. It's an iconic place that people will drive to from miles away just to stand in a long line to get a legendary hot dog from Ann's. Fun fact, the women who work there do not write anything down! Your order is shouted out to them, they repeat it, make it and deliver it to you perfectly! (Only In Your State)
