Found a few shots of Ellicott City from this year before the flood that I hadn’t posted yet. Longing for the days the town returns to the unique visit it was. Special restaurants, shops businesses and residents. My home away from home. Where I started my career in the newspaper business. Where my wife grew up. Where I got married. Where I returned to as a partner/publisher on our own newspaper. Where I go for a good walk. Where I go to photograph. Where I go to eat.
A fixture of Main Street. Took this in early July.

One of my favorite intersections in town.
Its green and the town is trying to get going. I shot this photo the morning of the flood.

Store front window.
Store Window. I’m sure the contents were gone shortly after this was shot.

I guess the clouds were a sign of things to come.
Clouds over EC in late June.

I see slow signs of life. I heard Tersiguels is opening this week again. Best of luck to them in helping the town recover.
Tersiguels is open again.
