If your plans for tomorrow don’t necessarily include bar hopping, may I recommend the next episode of WETA’s If You Lived Here, filmed in Ellicott City.
You can see it on WETA 26, Mon. March 17th, 9pm or on WETA Metro, 8 PM. View a promo for the episode here.
WETA's house-hunting series spotlights a wide array of neighborhoods and properties throughout the national capital area while celebrating each area’s history, culture, notable places and flavor. Season 4 introduces new hosts Jen Osborn and Ricardo Frederick Evans who tour homes and communities with local realtors, exploring the D.C. Metro region one neighborhood at a time.
Historic Ellicott City, Inc. President Connie Siegel was interviewed for this show at the Howard County Museum of History back in December 2024 to cover the history of Ellicott City. Others interviewed touched on the B & O, Enchanted Forest, and surrounding neighborhoods such as Normandy and Ellicott City’s historic downtown.
I’ve written about this show before. The new hosts are perfectly capable but I must admit that I haven’t “bonded” with them as I had the originals. That being said, I’ll definitely be watching this episode. If you watch it, let me know what you think.
Shout out to the Howard County Historical Society for amplifying the news about this episode on social media. I might have missed it otherwise.
Public Service Announcement:
If your plans for St. Patrick’s Day evening do involve bar hopping, please do NOT drink and drive. Choose a designated driver or step up and and be the designated driver yourself. Use taxis or ride-sharing services. Your life and the lives of others around you on the road are far too precious to risk for one evening of revelry.
Moving on…
Pupetella, the pizza restaurant going in at the old Pizza Hut location on Route 108 near the Wendy’s, is hoping to open for limited hours on Monday. (The website still lists the location as “Coming Soon.”) The impatience of local foodies as to the opening date of this particular restaurant has been relentless. It is my sincere wish that Pupatella is not buried under a crush of the kind of folks who just have to go as soon as a restaurant opens.
It’s nice to be welcomed. It’s disheartening to be annihilated.
Sad news about the Nalley Fresh in Columbia: they have closed. I loved their food but the rest of my family did not share my enthusiasm. What other restaurants locally share similarities to Nalley Fresh? Cava comes to mind. Is the concept of bowls with layers of healthy things fading? Are we now living in a world of Hot Chicken or nothing?
Finally, some music to soothe your soul. Today at 4 pm the Columbia Pro Cantare will be presenting: Celebrating John Rutter at First English Lutheran Church in Ellicott City. Tickets are available at their website. Scroll down the page to find your options. If you have ever sung in a choral group you have probably sung some of John Rutter’s compositions. For that matter, if you’ve watched a certain Royal Wedding, Rutter was sung there, too. Sometimes lush, reassuringly soothing, and occasionally silly, Rutter’s music could be just what you need to bring your weekend to a close and prepare you for the week ahead.
