Time for the weekly Thursday Doors challenge with our host Dan Antion. For those who love entrances, exits and the buildings and art that surrounds them this is the spot for you. The wonderful contributions from everywhere will delight. Share your own link in the comments on Dan’s weekly Door’s page.

I took a walk in my favorite town of Ellicott City Maryland yesterday. I might have shared at least one of these, but people update their doors and storefronts often so her is a smattering of my walk and doors I liked.

The first image on the left below is a new restaurant called River House which I believe is a high-end pizza establishment. We will try it someday soon. It took over for one of the county staples of high-end dining that was there for 50 years I believe.

Some entrances are quite colorful.

Fresh coats of paint do wonder for the storefronts.

The shot of the Main Street Ballroom used to be the basement of the Times Newspapers. The press was right above this. I spend some years in this old building.

Great weather days, you will see a lot of doors open.

Another spot we have yet to check out and dine.
