Last year, two local business owners, Terri Street of Atlantic Retreat and Dr. Jeff Michael of Optimal Health Chiropractic, combined forces to bring a new kind of event to Berlin, MD—one that focused on a holistic approach to health and wellness. The first annual Berlin Holistic Health Fair shared options towards a healthier lifestyle with approximately 100 eager attendees.

This past fall Ocean City was extremely lucky, we barely escaped the wrath of Hurricane Irene.  She was expected to bring quite a bit of devastation to our small coastal town.  Somehow, in the 9th hour she weakened, headed slightly west and higher up the coast, bringing unpredicted amounts of rain inland.  We all counted our blessings, Ocean City is no stranger to the damaging effects from storms, we are aware of the damage Mother Nature can inflict.  In...READ POST.

Awhile back I had an experience in the bar which reminded me that either I’ve been doing this way too long, or that I’ve gotten kind of good at it. I’m not sure which is the more underlying theme to this story. I do know that my problem solving skills and situation handling have definitely improved over my many years behind the bar.

Harriet Tubman was known as ‘the Moses of her people’. She found freedom for herself and some three-hundred other slaves whom she led north to safe lands. In the Civil War she served the Union Army as a nurse, scout, and a spy… and she was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Last week, Shorebread took advantage of an enjoyable afternoon and participated in the Finding a Way to Freedom Driving Tour that follows the weaving historical trail that led so many to...READ POST.

It was very fitting that this weekend we took a trip to Annapolis, after all it is Presidents Day weekend.  I’ve been to downtown Annapolis countless times. I’ve done the state house tour when I was school aged, although my memory retention from those trip was never very good.  I still appreciate the history of the state capital, as well as the architecture.  The brick sidewalks that are delightfully imperfect undulating under the growth of old trees.   The...READ POST.

  For the past seven weeks, Shorebread has been uncovering an abundance of wedding information and sharing tips, secrets, and the philosophies of local wedding gurus. We’ve sat down with photographers, a videographer, cake bakers, dress specialists, restauranteurs, and decorators in hopes that they’ll merrily enlighten us on their professions. Have you liked exploring the shore’s doses of “I do’s”?  As a way to wrap-up this lovely feature, the...READ POST.
