‘Serious Boutique Shopping’ in Frederick
Check out this cool write-up of shopping in Old Town Frederick from the Washington Post.
Forget Rodeo Drive, Paris, Tysons Corner and those other tired shopping meccas — there’s a serious chain-free shop op just a few miles up Interstate 270: Frederick.
On a recent scouting weekend, I was astonished to find an impressive selection of shops unique to the town — from shoe and outdoor to antiques and home decor. Sure, you’ll find plenty of “Fredneck” T-shirts on the main strip, but overall the small-town shopping is stellar. Plus, the Downtown Frederick Partnership caters to shoppers with monthly events.
I went on the advice of a friend, Traci, who has lived in downtown Frederick for a few years. “It’s a really artsy and musical town,” she said. “I would have never known it until I moved here.” In warm months, there are often parades and such festivals as Mayfest and the Baker Park summer concert series.
It’s a pretty cool little guide and I must admit I wasn’t familiar with all the shops. So even those who live in Frederick should take a gander at the article.

I love living downtown!
