I spent the first 12 years of my life here. Since I’ve been away it’s gotten to be quite the town. It was run down with cow pastures and corn fields but they’re slowly diminishing to acres of new $500k homes.

Memories of eating roast beef sandwiches at The Canopy, crabs at Tangiers, shrip salad subs from Salerno’s and getting ice cream from High’s are still in my mind. Watching movies at Carrolltown Mall and shopping at K-Mart when there still was a mall was what filled my childhood. Okay, so most of the food places and the mall were in Eldersburg, but they’re basically the same place.

Eldersburg Elementary, Sykesville Middle and South Carroll High School football games = <3

I lived in Denver for 6 months and a co-worker planned a trip to Estes Park for us. This place reminded me a lot of my hometown. It was cozy and so very cute. The mountain views are spectacular, considering you have to drive right thru and all around them. It’s a very beautiful, calm, and sareen place. It’s practically in the middle of no where and if you blink you’d miss it and drive right thru the town. It’s great for hiking.. those “14’ers” are BEAUTIFUL.

I went during the summer so I could only imagine what it would be like during the winter. Snow capped mountains.. Ahh.. I will be going back someday.

The shopping in the summer is good. Beathany Beach has some really nice surf shops and it’s cheaper than Ocean City. NO TAX. Love the great state of DE because of that little deatail.

I love being able to drip grease from my pizza. Not too keen on the pepperoni, but they’re crust is AMAZING. If you want good pizza, go to a Grotto’s. They’re all across Southern Delaware.
