Goodbye Ellicott City, Hello Odenton

Looking back on Ellicott City

For the last three years, I have called Ellicott City my home. It is where I fell in love with Soft Stuff and Tutti Frutti.

It is where I spent my summer evenings and weekends walking and running the trails in Centennial Park.

It is where I explored Historic Ellicott City, walking up and down the hill taking in the history and window shopping in the countless shops. I loved tasting unique beers at Judge's Bench. I called St. Paul's my faith family.

It is where I could sit at my apartment complex pool and watch deer frolic nearby.

It is where I experienced two earthquakes, one hurricane and one blizzard. It is the first place I put an item in my parking space to keep it from being taken during snow storms. It is where I had neighbors who willing helped each other shovel out their spots.

It is where I frequented the S-Mart for enegry drinks and gasoline.

It is where I took water aerobics and kick boxing classes at the .

It was the first time in 12 years that I was living in another county besides Baltimore County.

It gave me the opportunity to be a blogger for Patch.

It was my home and I will always have fond memories of it.

Goodbye Ellicott City and hello Odenton. I look forward to exploring this new place and experience being a first-time homeowner.
