Shortly after prohibition ended in 1933, Billy Mills opened a liquor and general store in Annapolis. Mills sold it to the Donners in 1946, and now the Main Street icon rests safely in the hands of Jennifer and Jerry Donohue. Today, Mills Cut Rate Liquors is better known as Mills Fine Wine & Spirits!

Today, we sneak in before opening to speak with Jennifer on the history, the growth, the passion for wine and the community and she and her husband return to the town of their alma mater--both are USNA graduates. And spoiler: she never snuck off the yard to buy anything at Mills!  This was a fun discussion with one of the oldest businesses in Annapolis!

When COVID-19 first hit in March of 2020, Stephen Rice, the City of Annapolis Economic Development Manager knew he had to get to work.  Annapolis Mayor Gavin Buckely formed a small business task force chaired by Dick Franyo working alongside of Rice to make sure our busiensses stayed afloat.  Today, not one restaurant in the City has closed. Recently, we grabbed a lunch with Dick Franyo, the owner of the Boatyard Bar & Grille in Eastport to discuss his thoughts about how the Boatyard remained as vibrant as possible, the challenges he faced and how they steered the task force. We ate lunch in the bustling tent out front --hence the background noise. Joining us on the phone was Stephen Rice from the City of Annapolis to discuss what came out of the task force, what was immediately implemented, the lifelines extended to local businesses and his forecast looking into the future! Have a listen, but be sure to bookmark the following links!

• Comeback Annapolis (register your business for free, or find a business for free)
• Office of Economic Development (task force information, resources, tips, and the ability to reach out for someone to help)
• Boatyard Bar & Grill (for the ridiculously good crab cakes and pretty much everything else on the menu)

When the weather is perfect on a mid-October afternoon, you head outside with our friends at Katcef Brothers, Inc. to sit at a picnic table and record a beercast! This week, I am joined by Cassie, Lauren and Bill from Katcef Brothers Inc. and we talk about tailgating at home, some perfect brews for Halloween and the fall and how Cutwater is really disrupting the market with their canned spirits. We also get distracted by that "33" on a Rollng Rock bottle. I am not sold on a White Russian in a can, nor am I convinced that a peppermint seltzer is something I want to try.

For 25 years, Linda Mann has been selling sunglasses in downtown Annapolis. First as a manager at Sunglass Hut, then as an employee of Shades Unlimited who became the owner, and now as the owner of Shades of the Bay!

Hear how she grew very fast, became miserable, and right sized herself in a new location. My head still swims at the number of sunglasses sold at the boat shows and the number of flip flops she sells in a year!  She calls it a lifestyle store. And her lifestyle now includes giving back and one of her pet charities is Just In Power Kids!
