If you're anticipating PCS orders to Fort Meade, you can look forward to living in a vibrant area within an hour of DC, Baltimore, and Annapolis, plus on-post activities that will keep you and your family members busy year-round. It's not just the big occasions, like July 4, when you have your choice of fireworks on the National Mall in DC, Fort McHenry in Baltimore, or on-post... there's something different every week that you can enjoy without even leaving the post. Last week: There was a Fall Craft Contest for Kids (5-9), Pre-Teens (10-12), Teens (13-18) and Adults; a 4-person scramble … (2 comments)
Arundel High School is just down the road from Fort Meade, and plenty of students at Arundel have family members stationed or employed there. But I'm guessing some of these students and families may not have had an opportunity to hear the U.S. Army Field Band perform - at least not "up close and personal" like this. Well, folks, you are in for a treat! Music critics say the Army Field Band is one of the most versatile and inspiring musical organizations in … (4 comments)
fort george g meade: Fort Meade is Home to the U.S. Army Field Band
- 06/20/10 12:43 PM
The musical ambassadors of the United States Army are based right here at Fort George G. Meade. "As the premier touring musical representative for the United States Army, this internationally-acclaimed organization travels thousands of miles each year presenting a variety of music to enthusiastic audiences throughout the nation and abroad." That's how they're described on the band's official website. Army band members are active duty soldiers in the U.S. Army who rotate through various assignments throughout their careers, just like any other member of the U.S. military. Bandsmen, as they are called, have duties ranging from performing instrumentalists and vocalists to … (2 comments)
Golf is nearly always mentioned in any conversation about recreation at Fort Meade, and The Courses offer 27-holes of golf right in the heart of the post to qualified individuals. You may be eligible to play golf at Fort Meade, without even realizing it... In fact, I think a lot of local residents may not be aware they don't have to be active duty military or stationed at Fort Meade to play The Courses (although … (8 comments)
It doesn't matter if you're military or civilian, or whether your destination is on post or off... It doesn't matter if you're NSA-bound or simply want to enjoy the services and facilities available to military families at Fort Meade while working in nearby D.C. or Baltimore. There's plenty of information available online, but who wants to run Googe searches all night to find it when you can start with this collection of posts about relocating to the Fort Meade area in Anne Arundel County.

Let me re-assure you that everywhere within this circle I’ve drawn around Fort Meade (and even some communities beyond) will be less than a half-hour commute on a normal day. Of course, … (15 comments)
Headed to Fort Meade? If so, you may be surprised to learn there are many neighborhoods within 30 minutes - in five, yes FIVE, counties. That means five entirely separate school systems, not to mention dozens of schools, that your children may attend when you relocate to the area. Let me assure you that each of these school systems has something to offer. But making a school choice should probably be based on the individual school, perhaps even individual classes, near any homes you consider. And, of course, if your child has a special need of any kind, it's … (12 comments)

fort george g meade: Fort Meade Soldiers Inspire REALTOR Santas
- 10/09/08 04:06 AM
With Fort George G. Meade just a few minutes and a few miles from our office, every agent at RE/MAX Vision counts relocating soldiers among our past clients. As we've introduced military personnel attached to Fort Meade to real estate in Crofton and other communities near the post, we've gotten to know them and their families on a personal level, as well as a professional one. We're so grateful to them for their service and very glad to have them as neighbors now. Inspired by clients who are Fort Meade soldiers, several of the agents in my office got together after our sales meeting on Tuesday to become "Santa for … (13 comments)
fort george g meade: Honoring Military Spouses
- 10/05/08 03:36 AM
Fort Meade families, I'll bet you know someone (maybe several someones) who deserve this award that Alaska REALTOR Jesse Clifton told us about in his recent blog post. Take note - the nomination period ends in a few days, October 8.
Military Spouse of the Year Award - Now Accepting Nominations Although praise is deservedly lavished on military service members serving this country, we sometimes overlook their support system at home; their military spouses. Long deployments to far away lands are no easy task. Military service members are in harms way and away from the family they love for extended … (1 comments)

fort george g meade: Crofton Loves Kauffman's for All-You-Can-Eat Crabs (LOCALISM FEATURED)
- 07/08/08 05:45 AM
Kauffman's Tavern, in Gambrills Maryland, is not located on the water, where you might expect to find one of Anne Arundel County's premier crab houses. In fact, it's not even a crab house. But boy.... do they have good steamed crabs! You can get them any day for dining in or carry-out (in season, while supplies last) - yet Sundays are special because that's the day they offer "all-you-can-eat" crabs from 3-9 p.m. for just $28 per person. Not only that, they have live music on the patio from 2-6 p.m. Kauffman's is located on Gambrills Road, off Route 175 between Fort Meade and Route 3. It's kind of … (37 comments)

There's more to moving than packing up your belongings and transporting them in a truck to your destination location. Getting your life back to normal means hooking up your electronic equipment to make it functional again. Moving your piano is nothing, compared to this challenge. After all, the movers perform all the heavy lifting, while the electronics hook-up is in your own hands and at the mercy of your time availability. There's no way around … (16 comments)

Let me assure you that slogan does not refer to the attitude of Maryland residents or visitors. It refers to blue crabs from the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, Maryland is a very friendly place! Maryland is for Crabs became an official tourism slogan of the State in 1989 when the Callinectes sapidus (blue crab) became Maryland's "State Crustacean". By the way, Maryland is not the only place to have blue crabs in their waters; you'll find them in Virginia (also on the shores … (18 comments)

Of course, you can live anywhere, but you will enjoy options not available to people under 55 because many of Anne Arundel County's new home communities in the past few years have been developed with age restrictions. Developers recognize the demand by empty-nesters for low-maintenance homes that offer elegant amenities, spacious floorplans, community … (6 comments)
