Annapolis is the capital city of Maryland located in the Baltimore-Washington Corridor, serving as a suburb to both major cities. However, unlike other run-of-the-mill suburban cities, its capital city status and preserved historic downtown harbor make Annapolis a very unique place; one that its residents are very proud of. Much like Baltimore, its residents enjoy crabs and beer, old bay, sailing, and all things uniquely centered around their access to the Chesapeake Bay. It is also not uncommon for Annapolitans to cheer for the Orioles and Ravens and take pride for them as their own. But, despite the similarities to its northern, much larger and commercialized neighbor, Annapolis has retained a much more "small town" feel and has its own set of renown establishments. Most notably, it is home to the United States Naval Academy. Annapolitans anticipate the Blue Angels and often take of work or school to go see them each year. The USNA students, "midshipmen", are often seen walking around in uniform in historic downtown. The city is also home to the St. Johns College, a liberal institution designed around studying the "great works". The city's historic downtown is decorated with brick streets and colonial buildings and contains the State Capital Building of Maryland, which is often used as an iconic symbol for the state. The city serves a rather unified demographic of upper-middle class citizens with some variation and tends to be, for this reason, a slightly "preppier" city in comparison to its neighbors.
Definitely a great place to be and a wonderful city that has found a balance of being a small-town suburb but a national renown jewel.

Annapolis has all the benefits of a small suburban city in addition to the benefits of being a city a itself. Truly a unique place whose preservation is vital to its life and culture.

Get the Acapulco mug.Despite the common misconception that it is Baltimore, Annapolis is Maryland's capital city and one of its pride and joys. Regarded as the sailing capital of the world, Annapolis is a city near the mouth of the Severn River. The water way that comes into downtown is the famous Ego Alley, home to a lot of very expensive motorboats but a shockingly less number of compitent boaters. Remembered largely for its brick streets and many old colonial buildings, Annapolis is a modern city that remembers its past. Housing in the city is extremely expensive, as the land value is very high. Like any Maryland water city it loves its crabs but unlike Baltimore, crabs refers only to the sea creature. Also (and most notably) Annapolis is home to the famous United State Naval Academy. The uniformed 'mids' are often founds walking the streets. Oddly and almost comically, just up the streets is St. John's college: the ultimate liberal arts school whose entire curriculum consists only of the 200 'great' books. The 'johnnies' contrasts the mids with long hair, beards, tye dye shirts, and lack of shoes. Once a year, the two colleges compete in a croquet tournament. People wise, Annapolis tends to attract the preppier Marylanders as spotting people who don't own at least one Ralph Lauren Polo is rare. Parking is hell on Earth.
All in all, a great city. One of the greatest in the world.
