🍦Crownsville’s shiny new fire station

Good morning, Annapolis. In honor of Chuck Norris’ life, we’d like to encourage you to adopt the message from his final Instagram post (a video of him sparring just a week before his death at 86): Don’t age. Level up.

RIP Chuck.

Let’s get to it.

Yoga Factory has become a go-to for people looking to stay consistent and make time for their practice. With studios in Annapolis, Arnold and Crofton, it’s an easy place to fit yoga into a busy schedule.

The schedule includes 150+ classes each week across more than 10 styles, so there’s always something that works. Some days call for a strong, sweaty flow. Others call for slowing things down and moving with intention. Either way, experienced teachers guide every class and make students feel welcome from the start.

It’s the kind of place that keeps people coming back, week after week.

They say it best: we love having you here.

👉 Check the schedule and plan your next class.

Spring really sprung this weekend, didn’t it? The equinox on Friday seemingly brought some sunshine and warmer temps, which put us in the spring spirit.

Think of it as rising from the ashes: A new Crownsville fire station is opening up just as an old one is closing. (Don’t worry, this opening/closing has nothing to do with a fire — we just thought the “rising from the ashes” metaphor fit.) The new Anne Arundel County Crownsville Fire Station 6 officially opened last week. It’s located at the corner of Sunrise Beach Road and Generals Highway and replaces the Herald Harbor Volunteer Fire Department station on Hall Road, which closed the same day.

AACFD called this “the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter in emergency service delivery.”
