Deli Returning to Ellicott City Main Street
Randy & Steve's The New General Store is continuing in the tradition of the Yates Market.
When Yates Market was open, the store was known for its deli – particularly its fresh sausage. Randy Neely and Steve Archuleta said they plan to bring a deli back to Main Street at Randy & Steve’s The New General Store, which opened in the space formerly occupied by Yates Market. The deli can open after getting the seal of approval from the Howard County Health Department; its inspection is scheduled for Thursday. On April 27, the store is hosting its grand opening. There will be free massages, wine tastings courtesy of Pure Wine Café, cooking demonstrations, and local music, including guitarist João Bastos who will be traveling from Portugal, where Archuleta and Neely lived before returning to the Ellicott City to set up shop. (Bastos …

Ellicott City Scoop: LaLa's Opening Soon
The sign for LaLa's has been on Main Street for more than a year. The owner says he's in the final stretch.
The sign has been teasing Main Street for more than a year now: LaLa’s Ice Cream Parlor. So when is it opening? “April 1,” owner Brendan Flannery said Thursday afternoon. “Absolutely.” That date is for the soft opening, Flannery said. He hasn’t pinned down a date for the grand opening, but it should be some time in the middle of the month, he said. We’re going to give the whole parlor away that day ... free ice cream. It’ll be pretty cool.” LaLa’s, at 8054 Main Street, will carry a variety of soft-serve and hand-dipped ice cream, milkshakes, sundaes and hot dots, including vegan hot dogs. Flannery has been selling those on the street from his cart in front of Portalli’s and the Diamondback Tavern since December. He's on the street …

Yoga on Main Street, a Neighborhood Affair
A new studio is bringing yoga to the neighborhood.
Hilary Brich wanted to bring yoga to Main Street. And so she did. Just one month after Birch decided that the space upstairs from her retail shop at 8229 Main Street – with its high ceilings, plentiful windows and wood floors – would make a great yoga studio, she had a grand opening. People lined up the stairwell to sit in on one of several mini-yoga sessions offered by GoGo Guru’s instructors. “I feel very blessed,” Brich said Thursday afternoon. Yoga classes are offered mornings, afternoons and evenings and Randy Neely, co-owner of The New General Store, just down the street at 8249 Main Street, leads guided meditations two days a week. It’s definitely a Historic District affair. “Our primary clientele is right here in the neighborhood…

Ellicott City Flooding 'You Get Used to it'
A few inches of rain in the basement isn't all that bad, according to some Main Street merchants.
The best present Mark Hemmis ever got? “My wife got me chest waders for Christmas.” The chest-high, waterproof suit with built-in boots was put to use Thursday after heavy rains Wednesday night caused Patapsco and Tiber Rivers to swell, flooding his business, Phoenix Emporium, and others along Main Street in Ellicott City’s Historic District. Hemmis seemed pleased that, after repairing an old pipe on his property, the Phoenix basement “only” got 18 inches. The Phoenix Emporium is a restaurant and bar. He lost some food, a little beer and, he said, some paper goods. Wednesday night’s rain and the ensuing flooding led the State Highway Administration to close off part of Frederick Road and Main Street Thursday morning. Water from the …

Ellicott City Historic District Parking Meters to Turn on Next Week
The county has also instituted a residential parking program for Main Street residents.
The new parking meters in the Historic District that have been on the sidewalks since early November are set to go live. Beginning Feb. 4, parking on Main Street and Maryland Avenue will cost drivers $1 per hour.

Residents living between the 8000 and 8300 block of Main Street can receive a pass and park for free at any metered space in the Historic District's parking lots. Cars displaying the passes - a sticker to be affixed to their windshield - can also park at the metered spaces on Main …
