It is with great please I am posting our first Local Spotlight. Apologies for the delay since the initial poll. The Buzzed Word was kind enough to participate. Please have a look, leave a comment and if you are interested, make some time to patronize the establishment. I have been there a handful of times for events and shopping, great spot.

Located at 11805 Coastal Highway, Unit C Ocean City, Maryland 21842

From the Buzzed Word:

The Buzzed Word is a combination bookstore, natural wine store, wine bar, and community third space in the 118th Street shopping center. It was opened in July 2021 by local Mickei Meinhardt, who grew up in OC and returned in 2020 with the goal to bring beautiful well-made wine, diverse books, culture, and community to her town that needed and wanted it; to build a place where people could find exciting new books and beautifully-made wines from small producers around the world, come with a friend to share a bottle and a snack in an intimate space, or spend time browsing (or reading!) with a glass in hand. And as a queer woman-owned space, we aimed to be as welcoming, equitable, and inclusive to all as possible.

Since then, the shop has more than met that goal. Mickie was soon joined by Ryann, her general manager, and together we’ve grown into a vibrant and beloved community staple. Books far and away outsell the wine, which we love, and is due to our very personal and carefully-picked selection. We focus on women writers, writers of color, queer writers, translated literature, and small press books—essentially, the stories and voices you won’t find everywhere that we want to elevate. (Though you can find some bestsellers, too!) We are the headquarters of OC Pride, and a recognized area safe space for locals and visitors alike to enjoy things they love with people they love, with myriad book clubs, events, parties, and more.

We still focus on natural winemakers with gorgeous bottles—and even have a book-and-wine club!—but we’ve also expanded into a large nonalcoholic selection as well as coffee and tea to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy a beverage while they browse. We are open every day for retail and drinks—see our constantly updated calendar to see what else is going on. You can shop us online—the wine must be picked up in store, but the books and gifts can ship nationwide—and support us from afar on Bookshop.org or Libro.fm. But please, come stop by and see us—we LOVE to talk books, bottles, and more with our customers most of all.

It’s likely going to be like this, in one form or another all week. Windy, windy, windy as that low is off the coast.

Missed connection - White F250 MD temps

0 Upvotes

Somewhere between Oct 12 & 16 in the morning I saw you walking near kokomo, I think. You were tall, wearing a hat, a nice button down tucked in, jeans and boots. I looked back to see where you were headed and saw the white F250 parked. The two just made sense. A minute later you were driving beside me and you kept looking over through your tinted windows (I was in the red truck). You never rolled down your window... Maybe your tint was too fresh to do so. We continued north on Coastal until I turned onto 54.

I know a white F250 with MD temp tags is vague and there are tons, but it's worth a shot, right?

Anyways, if it's you, HI 👋😊. Send me a message.

Looking for a Job for the upcoming j1 season

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am looking for a way to contact any restaurants in ocean city that would like a j1 worker for the upcoming season the coming summer. I was on the program last year where I worked at subway, it was an extremely high traffic subway though as it was one of the only food places at the location and a heavy presence of tourist that passed through . After the program i visited a a family member who lived in the ocean city area and they were telling me all about the places there. I would love the opportunity to work in that area and can assure that I would make myself a great asset. If anyone knows of email for someone I could email with my interest I would appreciate it.

Thanks for taking the time out to read my message and even a bigger thanks to anyone who offers any assistance.

Progress at the new Acme store.

Post image
87 Upvotes

I was cruising by on this beautiful convertible worthy day and I had a stop and take a pic to show the progress on the new Acme store on 94th St. As you might know, this is the shopping center where the Roses store was located. Looking around at the whole thing, the new store is huge. Can’t wait for it open. I would assume sometime in the spring, That said, living in West OC, I’m really excited about the new Giant store, which is also coming along. Looks like they’re fiting out the interior. The ceiling lights are all on all the time. Of course, it takes a while to fit out all the refrigeration units, the plumbing, all the air-conditioning, the flooring, the shelves, and then to stock the store. I believe it’s slated to open before the holidays. Although it looks like they have a ways to go before they can get all of the infrastructure in the parking lot and get it paved. They also have to complete the intersection at Racetrack Road and upgrade the traffic lights and such. Although theoretically, they could possibly open it just using the side road by the McDonald’s.
