Nice Businesses to Deal With *
Every once in a while, we have a really nice shopping or service experience. In today's world of mass marketing and a focus on maximum profit at the expense of customer service, I really appreciate it when we find that special place or event. In my opinion, these businesses have earned our repeat business and a big "THANK YOU" for being what they are. This page is devoted to those businesses that I have dealt with that earn that recognition. If you need to shop for "stuff" or service, please consider them. I'll be adding more businesses as I find them.
Carpenter's Auto Repair: S. Chesapeake City on 213,
south of the bridge. 410-885-2260
We have dealt with Carpenters for auto service for many years. They have always
been responsive, reasonable and consistently met our expectations for for
repairs. Roy and Sue are great people as well.
Brantwood Liquor's & Flag Shop: 1076 Augustine
Herman Hwy. 410-392-4295 Website
I think everyone is familiar with this "one stop shop" for
groceries and liquor products. Before I got to know Harvey an some of the other
staff on a first name basis, I was working clearing trees on our property in
preparation for building our house. It was summer and I would stop in to get
something to eat on an almost daily basis. Without water or other means to
clean up, I would stop in "as is" from working on the lot. I was
always greeted and treated properly in spite of my appearance (and smell). I
can't say the same for some other local stores so I really appreciated the
"Brantwood" welcome.
Dragonfly Gift Shop: 19 Bohemia Ave, S. Chesapeake City.
410-885-9470 Website
A really nice gift shop specializing in stained glass, pottery and other fine
gifts. George, and daughter Jennifer, operate this shop and do custom glass
work in addition to their store inventory. I had a really "strange"
request in that I needed some small pieces of glass cut to be used as part of a
smoke generator for my train platform volcano. (Is that strange or what?) It
was no sweat for them to do and they were really nice to work with.
