Annapolis Capital Punishment

(The below was just released from the City of Annapolis. It's certainly good and welcome news. There is no doubt that we live in a beautiful city, but to really make it beautiful, we need to understand and work on beautifying and uplifting all of our neighborhoods and not just those most well-known or frequented by tourists and travel writers.)

Annapolis, MD (4-30-10) -- Annapolis was selected by Forbes Traveler Magazine as one of “America’s Prettiest Towns” for the third year in a row.

In an article this month, coauthor of 101 Best Outdoor Towns, Greg Melville, writes, "It is perhaps the East's most romantic town."

To determine America's Prettiest Towns, Forbes editors received input from several authorities: Salt Lake City-based architectural photographer Alan Blakely; residential designer Erin Anderson; painter
John Vander Stelt; Bob Krist, photographer and host of PBS' Restoration Stories; Sarah Tuff Dunn and Melville, coauthors of 101 Best Outdoor Towns; Danno Glanz, a designer at urban planning firm Calthorpe
Associates; and Greg Ward, coauthor of The Rough Guide USA.
