Taste Mediterranean Grille
Towson has a new restaurant at 28 Allegheny operated by Chef/Owner Luigi (Gigi) Palumbo. Open for less than a month, it has a few kinks to work out.

Try decorating the top

Renovation: Rancho La Paloma
Last winter when John and Kelly Hellmuth first toured a house on Doves Cove Rd, Kelly was excited at the prospect of living in Hampton and John, an architect, was excited as he immediately recognized the Frank Lloyd Wright influence in this architect-designed 1954 ranch house.

New Neighbor Spotlight: The Eylers
My wife Kristin, daughter Anna, and I bought our Stags Head Road house in 2008 and after doing extensive renovations, finally moved in February 2009. We love the neighborhood with its proximity to downtown Towson and Baltimore, but yet feel we live in the "country" on our wooded lot away from the hustle and bustle. I started my website design & development business, Fluid Web Solutions
