Why Shop in Ellicott City?

Tell us - and the rest of Maryland - what makes Ellicott City special.

People will spend more than $586 billion on holiday shopping this year, according to the National Retail Federation, and they have a lot of options as to where they spend that money. 

Patch wants help spread the word about local merchants to nearby communities, so we're setting up an Ellicott City Holiday Shopping Guide to send to Patch sites around the region
