Features: Annapolis Pottery
In 1994, Bill and Genevieve McWilliams purchased the old YMCA building at 40 State Circle and moved their business, Annapolis Pottery, into it. There, they created a unique business: a pottery production studio that is also a gallery. When you see the sign out front that says, "Potters at Play," stop in, as writer Paula Phillips did, to see some of the employees creating works of art on the spot. You'll love the pieces and the prices.

Annapolis History:
Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse
The Thomas Point Lighthouse originally stood on land at the tip of Thomas Point. Erosion, however, threatened the structure, and a new lighthouse was commissioned in 1872. Later, in the 1970s, the lighthouse was nearly demolished by the Coast Guard until concerned citizens came to its rescue. Deirdre Flanagan tells the story of how the treasured symbol of Maryland's waterways has evolved through the years.
Bay Business: Stevens Hardware
For 45 years, the Stevens family has owned and operated Stevens Hardware at the same location down at City Dock. Relying on local business as well as the needs of boaters, Stevens has, in the words of Marge Stevens, "evolved around the changes downtown." Joseph Patrick Bulko takes a look at how the little guy is keeping up with the big chains and still going strong.

BAY LIFE: Anne Arundel Medical Center
The NICU at Anne Arundel Medical Center is where the tiniest of patients receive care from a dedicated staff. Dr. Suzanne Rindfleish has been the medical director of this department since 1995, helping families whose newborns need intensive medical care. She hasn't shied away from the difficulties of her work, saying, "Babies have a very strong will to live: therefore, their fight is very pure." Margot Mohsberg visits with the head of a growing family at AAMC.
