Seeing the World One Step at a Time

History, Mystery, Art and More in Boonsboro and Beyond

September 11, 2019 by Stephanie Kalina-MetzgerLeave a Comment

Last year, during the holidays, I spent some time in Sharpsburg, Maryland, where I enjoyed a lovely stay at the Jacob Rohrbach Inn. During that time, my travels took me through the small town of Boonsboro, where I noticed a cozy, cute little Inn all lit up for the Christmas season. I was pulled to it like a magnet and vowed to return to explore the area when the weather warmed. That opportunity occurred just this month, when I was able to … [Read more...]

MGM National Harbor—Local Flavors, International Appeal

February 2, 2017 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Bicycling the C & O Canal

November 25, 2015 by Kurt JacobsonLeave a Comment

Trees are in their post-peak colors dropping yellow, red and orange leaves around me as I anticipate the next scenic bend in the trail and a new vista. The canal water is still on this calm day and reflects a mirror image of each tree and animal we encounter. By the end of our seven mile ride we see four snapping … [Read more...]
