A Taste of Home at Sam's on the Waterfront

For many in Annapolis, home is on the water. And for friends of Annapolitians, a special home away from home is Sam's on the Waterfront. Offering both a seasonal menu and a fresh variety of the fishermen's best catch, Sam's has something for everyone.

A place to reunite with friends, Sam's was the perfect place to take my friend Heather Wiley - an HR specialist in the D.C. area. Well traveled and having a seasoned palate from her days as a road warrior, Heather was more than prepared to take advantage of many options on Sam's winter menu.



Heather first started off with edamame with Chesapeake salt as an appetizer. She later got a hankering for cream of crab soup. For her main course, Heather selected the seafood linguine. She also ordered the shrimp po boy to take home for her boyfriend. For dessert, she opted for the key lime pie.

Dinner was delectable and so was the conversation. As she chatted about her son's recent wedding, Heather enjoyed the view of the boats in the harbor. She noted how it was a different experience for her this time, as she'd also been to Sam's in the fall, seated outside with a live band playing.

Heather's experience at Sam's was both delightful and memorable. She enjoyed seeing a variety of new items on the menu, while also sticking with some of her old favorites. An avid scuba diver, she loves being near water, and couldn't have felt more comfortable than dining at Sam's on the Waterfront.

Woofy wags, mutt mitts...when woofs gotügo

Oyster Harbor is a racially integrated community located on the Annapolis Neck. Historically the site of Black family vacation homes, Oyster Harbor and the surrounding communities are now a melting pot. Many residents are retirees, several are the descendants of Black homeowners, and there are many White yuppie families of four (...with a cat, etc.). Despite this diverse population, street signage within Oyster Harbor largely caters to yet another population: dogs. Accordingly, we have two beaches so as to properly distinguish who is welcome, when, and where. Specifically, we have a human beach and a dog beach. (Socialization is encouraged at the dog beach on Thursday nights, affectionately termed "Yappy Hour," similar to the humans' "Happy Hour.") Along with those distinctions, there are signs throughout the community addressed to the four-legged population...or better yet, for the caregivers thereof. And, as you will note, the signage has a humor all its own...

There’s No Place Like Home: Foote Girls Drift the Chesapeake Bay

View of waterfowl and church on Tangier Island Every place you go has a special kind of talk. When the Foote family arrived from Wyoming to Superior, Nebraska in 1991, they encountered a different kind of lingo than they were used to. They weren’t always “fixin’ to go” somewhere “fer to get” something, but they would “prolly” agree with you that they’re hungry for “dinner,” even if it turns out to be served at lunch time… Such regional peccadillos have always fascinated the Footes’ daughter, Shayna. Having graduated from Superior High School in 1994, she went to Hastings College for a bit and studied diction of foreign languages. Later enlisting in the U.S. Air Force, she picked up Russian at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California and later went on to study the Georgian language. The Foote girls - Shayna and her mother, Sandy - have always loved things a bit exotic. For Sandy’s most recent trip to see her daughter, they decided to go on a linguistic and nautical...

Quite the View: Collecting and "Ownership" on the Bay

It's a special sight to behold along Chesapeake Walk. The first is that of the Bay Bridge. And the second? That would be David Delia getting a haircut from his wife on their second story balcony. While Margaret trims, Dave is gazing out at the various waterfowl feeding near their pier. It's a day when there's a slight breeze. There's no need for Margaret to sweep up Dave's white hair. (He jokes that the birds use it as nesting material.) And there's no need to do anything at all, but relax and get a haircut...at home.
