FED chair Janet Yellen was back on Capitol Hill today to answer questions about the economy. Yesterday, she testified in front of the Senate Banking Committee. Today it was the House Financial Services Committee that got the chance to question the Fed Chair on her semi annual report to Congress.
Yellen spoke of the headwind the economic recovery is facing. Representative Steven Horsford questioned her on the slowing housing market and what the Fed was doing to correct the problem. Part of Horsford's district is Las Vegas, one of the hardest hit areas by the housing crisis.

House of the Rising Sun
House of the Rising Sun
By Michelle Doell
Chances are when you hear the House of the Rising Sun this is what you think of.
But in Crownsville, the House of the Rising Sun is a rare 18th century dwelling.
The house was a tavern in 1785. Its location on the road (now called Generals Highway) between Annapolis and Baltimore made it a popular stop. Dennis Griffin put the tavern on his 1794 map. In 1795, Augustine Gambrill took over the tavern.
Richard and Mary Canton took over the property in 1816. The house changed hands several other times and fell into disrepair. In 1916 the Daughters of the American Revolution Anne Arundel Chapter bought the house and restored it. They now use it as their headquarters.
The home is open for tours to the public on the second Sunday every month from 1 to 4pm. It's worth the time to go see it if you get the chance!

If you live in Crownsville, you may have driven by this home and didn't realize the history behind it.
According to the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form, the first section of the house was built in 1753 by Edward Baldwin. He acquired 244 acres for planting. In 1784, Henry Baldwin added on to the home. Henry served in the 3rd Regiment, Maryland Line during the Revolutionary War. The Baldwin's plantation supplied the Continental Army with tobacco. The shipments were shipped on the south shore of the Severn River.

#Snow in April?
#Snow in April
By Michelle Doell
It's April and if you are like me you are ready for that spring time weather. The night time freeze warning has me wondering where spring went. Colder weather in the DC area is not unusual. Check out these photos of the record breaking April Fools Day Storm I found at the Library of Congress.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm dumped 4 plus inches in DC and 9 inches in Baltimore. While April 1st seems late for snow, the latest snow seen in DC? A trace of snow fell on May 10, 1906.

The blossoms are the perfect frame for my favorite memorial in DC, the Jefferson Memorial. That might not have been the case if John Russell Pope's original design for the memorial had been built. His plan called for a series of reflecting pools, rectangular terraces and a formal row of trees. The design was controversial because people worried about the fate of the famous cherry trees. The design changed after Pope's death and his colleagues Otto Eggers and David Higgins took over. In 1938, Congress approved the 3 million dollars to start construction.
November 15, 1939, President Franklin D Roosevelt was on hand when the Cornerstone was laid at the memorial. The Library of Congress photo shows the President holding a trowel handed down through the generations since George Washington. Several years later on 200 anniversary of Jefferson's birth, Roosevelt dedicated the completed memorial. This picture from the Library of Congress shows the marines guarding the statue during the dedication.
The final price tag on the memorial was 13 million dollars.

#Annapolis Waterfront Town Houses
Waterfront Townhomes in Annapolis
Looking for a waterfront home without the maintenance of a house? A town house could be the answer and self proclaimed sailing capitol of the world has a lot to choose from.
Chesapeake Harbour is a mixture of garden style apartments and townhomes located at the mouth of the Severn River. The gated community has 2 pools, tennis courts, walking paths, private beach and marina. It was built in the 80’s on the site of Carr’s and Sparrow beach. The beach was a renowned summer resort and music venue. Greats like Fats Domino, Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder performed there.
Chesapeake Harbour is divided into four villages that surround the marina. The first Village has 244 garden and loft condos. The Second village is also garden and loft condos. 45 garage duplex town homes make up the Harbour Marina Village. While 67 four level garage and beach front townhomes make up the Townhome Village. Your HOA and Condo fees depend on which village you live in
If you want to have a workshop but are looking for a townhome on the water, Dreams Landing may be the place for you. The community has a workshop complete with everything you need to work on a project. For a monthly fee owners can use the facility. The community has the normal waterfront amenities including a fitness club, pool and marina.
Want to be in the middle of it all in downtown Annapolis and be on the water? Market Quay may be right for you. The community boosts a water front pool and deep water slips. The HOA fee for this community is one of the most expensive in Annapolis though. But worth if it you want the downtown Annapolis lifestyle.
