Meet Team PropTalk
We’ll be in our usual spot, Booth F6, along Ego Alley. Stop by and enjoy late-afternoon popcorn with our writers, editors, publishers, graphic designers, distribution drivers, and photographers. The whole crew will be in attendance and we enjoy your stopping by to say hello!
Parking
Parking downtown is limited. We suggest parking for $10 at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium and taking the free shuttle bus to the show. Buses run continuously from 9 a.m. until one hour after the show closes. Parking is also available at Eastport Elementary School for $30 per day; it's only a short walk across the Spa Creek Bridge to the show. Parking is always available at the city garages with transport to the show via the City Circulator Trolley for $1 per ride.
Getting Around
On land, use Annapolis’s Circulator trolley for $1. Regular stops at City Dock and Church Circle, or just raise your hand to hail it anywhere along the route. Goes to all four city garages. Get the details by clicking on the trolley icon at annapolis.gov. On the water, we love the water taxis which run continuously from 8 a.m. to midnight, Thursday through Saturday, and until 11 p.m. on Sunday. Catch it at the water taxi stop between the Marriott Hotel and Spa Creek Bridge, or call (410) 263-0033. You can even hail “water taxi” on VHF radio channel 68. Rates are $3 to $8 per person depending on destination. Check online at cruisesonthebay.com and click to Water Taxi for an updated schedule closer to show time.
Coming to town for the show? Be sure to hit up Annapolis just like the locals do. Here are our picks for the best food, shopping, and things to do in Maryland's capital.
