Ellie McIntire Real Estate in Howard County Maryland

It's snowing in Ellicott City.

This morning was just an ordinary Friday in November. A little chilly, but tolerable; time for a warm coat and a hat.

As I drove to the office there were some minuscule snow flakes, but nothing to get excited about. The weatherman had mentioned a little precipitation.

I had a settlement this morning and the conference room is an internal room of the building. Imagine my surprise when I stepped outside to see this. Just a little dusting, but it's the first one of the season.

Not a lot to get excited about, but sadly the sniff of snow and folk in Maryland go a little crazy. Watch out on the roads today.

My old Ellicott City. The Historic District. Part 1 (The introduction)

Everyone has a connection to the place they call home for some reason or another, but I confess I stumbled across Historic Ellicott City, Maryland when I was not even looking for it. I was unaware that cold fall day in October of 1995 the impact this little town would have in my life.

My then boyfriend, now best friend and assistant and I had come to Columbia, MD for a family wedding. During the down time of the occasion we had ventured out to explore.

From Columbia we drove North on Route 29 and then down the winding road of Old Columbia Pike. The twists and the turns were definitely heading down the hill. On the side of the road there were stone houses and charming colonials. Framed in a blaze of fall colors and falling leaves it was quite breathtaking. After about 3 miles we found ourselves in the quaint historic district of Ellicott City. Heaving with charm and history we were both awestruck. What a great place to call home.

Prior to moving to Maryland in 1997 I proudly called Florida my home for 10 years. Mostly in Daytona Beach, but with a 2 year excursion to Key West. I did not think it could get any better than perfect weather and no state tax! But like all those crazies that move North from the sunshine State, we missed the seasons. Ellicott City was nothing like Florida.

Stay tuned for MY ELLICOTT CITY- WHY I LOVE TO CALL THIS LITTLE TOWN HOME.

A sign of the times in Ellicott City.

The "Linens n Things" location in Long Gate Shopping Center, Ellicott City is liquidating assets and closing their doors.

I wonder who will be taking their place in this 12 year old plaza?

Strangely they have a "Now Hiring" sign above the door too. Not much job security there! (If you squint you can see it.)

FRENCH INVASION: Happy Beaujolais Nouveau day

Tersiguel's restaurant NEED SOMETHING FUN TO DO ON A THURSDAY NIGHT IN ELLICOTT CITY?

The third Thursday of November is a mere day away, which can mean only one thing: Beaujolais Nouveau day!

Beaujolais Nouveau is a light, French red wine, purple-pink in color. It is meant for immediate drinking, not to be kept for maturation like some other wines. It's a yearly celebration. George Debouef is known as the king of Beaujolais and he generally produces one of the better nouveau wines each year.

If you live in Maryland and you want to enjoy all of the festivities of the new wine arrival, head to Tersiguel's in Ellicott City.

Fernand will be popping some bottles and Can Can dancers will be whooping up a storm. This is not a good evening for a QUIET meal. The fun starts at 6.30pm.

Call 410-465-4004 for reservations.

On a side note my French Au-Pair has never heard of "Beaujolais Nouveau day!" Another American Holiday with roots overseas!
