A Pikesville Icon...Fields!

At one time most neighborhoods had a pharmacy and a lunch counter. Fields still has the cafe and we  recently enjoyed lunch sitting on a swivel stool at the counter.

The poster on the wall shows the building dating back to 1892.  One hundred twenty years is a long time to be in business. There must be a reason to sustain itself.

Maybe it the milkshakes made from real ice cream in the big stainless steel "glass", maybe it's the consistently good food or maybe it's the friendly service that we have come to expect.

Today Fields is best known for it's extensive makeup counter(the pharmacy is no more) and the homey cafe.

So easy to stop and grab bite, and most times  see someone you know sitting at the counter. If you lived in Colonial  Village at 7014 Deerfield Rd. Pikesville you could walk  to Fields and have an old fashioned cream soda with or without  lunch.

 

                                                        
                                                             


                                                                

My lunch special consisted of a half sandwich, cup of soup and a salad. There was plenty to eat, presented well, delicious and served by friendly wait staff. When I go back, I will probably order the same exact thing.

   

Fields is located at 1401 Reisterstown Rd. in the heart of Pikesville. They are also famous for  snowballs in Baltimore

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market?

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market?

Nope. Not if your sellers have photos plus a Baltimore Sunpaper article  written in 2006.

The best sellers are mine! I love partnering to get my homes sold. Interviewing the owners, during a listing appointment or a brainstorming session after the home is on the market, can produce new ideas like....

Baltimore winters are not an ideal time to show off  the magnificence of landscaping, ponds and gardens. So the question is:

Should we wait until spring to put the house on the market? Nope!

''Officer and a gardener  By NANCY TAYLOR ROBSON/SPECIAL TO THE SUN

IT'S EASY TO TELL WHICH home in the historic Fieldstone community of Randallstown belongs to master gardener Jimmy Waites. Inside his shaded front lawn, hemmed in by mixed viburnum, two huge maples are ringed with hostas. Wooden trellises spaced along one edge of the property frame weigela, Leatherleaf Mahonia (Mahonia bealei) and azalea. Opposite, a meandering bed of shade-lovers leads you up the driveway to an iron arch at the front walk that is covered with rose-and-blond-bloomed honeysuckle "Gold Flame" (Lonicera x heckrottii). A few scarlet salvias highlight a curve along the drive.

Waites appreciates symbolism, but is more interested in what gardens offer the senses, including the ear. He loves the sound of water and has several fountains burbling quietly throughout the space. He has also hidden a speaker and plays -- very softly -- bird-call tapes (Canada geese for example) to add to the lively conversations among the many songbirds that live there.

Not surprisingly, his property is a certified wildlife habitat. Bullfrogs "gullump" in his pond. Hummingbirds zip through the red bee balm (Monarda didyma cardinalis). His butterfly bush (Buddleia) arbor draws hundreds of butterflies that land on him when he walks through. There are squirrels and rabbits and chipmunks.  "I once looked out and there was a red fox lying down by the koi pond," he says.

But the quarter-acre garden isn't just for critters. He places focal points -- statuary, ornaments, urns, gates -- to lead visitors through every portion of this mini-wonderland. The garden is a flowing series of "rooms," each with its own spot from which to admire the view.''

Just a few months ago, I sold a special stone rancher in this area at
