Check Out The New and Improved Market House

..the source of our collective, municipal midlife crisis.....Thanks to regular reader Regular Schmoe for bringing this to our attention....The company that leases the Market House has a fancy web-site all about our downtown disaster...with positive spin of course.
Here is their version of recent history of the Market House:


2005: City of Annapolis chooses Site Realty Group as Master Lessor of the Market House
2006: Grand Re-Opening of the Market House at the City Dock

Not a word about the lawsuit, ventilation problems or....uhhh...well...the middle-of-the-night disappearance of most tenants. They even show a nice photo of folks dining outdoors on the sidewalk on a sunny day--of course it's Maria's, the Italian eatery across the way....But to be fair, the homepage says, "After a devastating flood in 2003, and a political maelstrom which left this local landmark vacant for nearly two years, the completely refurbished Market House is once again ready to open for business and serve the needs of Annapolitans, the downtown business community and tourists to this beautiful City."

Ready and open...indeed. Just like Iraq and Afghanistan are ready and open for investment. But it gets funnier. For example, did you know that its current tenants include:
Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More
The Fresh Stop
Vaccaro’s Italian Pastry Shop
Gourmet Commissary
Galway Bay
Lee’s Ice Cream
Market Galley/American Grill
Waterside Pizza
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels
Fractured Prune
What the Fudge
BankAnnapolis
Outdoor Vendors'


Oh? You did not? Neither did I.

Most upsetting of all is this---under their local links to learn more about Annapolis, they have excluded CP!!! Hello--??? Oh well. If they still want to tell the world that they have all the above tenants, we can see that accuracy is not their strong point. So which is it?? Political maelstrom? Vacant? Or full of all the above tenants? Check it out at markethouse midlife crisis .
