Good morning neighbor!

Welcome to the 17th edition of the Fulton Flyer!

🏃‍♂️🏃 If you live in or near Maple Lawn, the Maryland Half Marathon & 5K is this weekend and the roads will be impacted Saturday from 5am to 1pm. Maple Lawn Blvd will be completely closed during that time.

🎷🎷 And if you’re a fan of jazz, you probably already knew this weekend is Capital Jazz Fest. The festival is held at Merriweather Post Pavilion but there are a lot of nearby restaurants getting in on the action (such as 18th and 21st doing something extra special on Thursday).

In this week’s Fulton Flyer:

• Orange Crush is the official cocktail of MD! 🍊🍹

• A big weekend for fun festivals!

• Reply with what you’re doing this weekend!

Here we go!

Butterfly Experience @ Brookside Gardens 🦋

We enjoy going to Brookside Gardens and just walking the grounds but from April 10th through September 21st, they open the Butterfly Experience. It’s ticketed ($9 for ages 3-12, $14 for everyone else) and worth a visit.

Orange Crush is MD’s Official Cocktail 🍊

It was created 30 years ago in Ocean City and codified into law in the waning minutes of the legislative session after Delaware tried to steal it as their own.

That’s Philip Wang (no relation, I just admire the hustle) restringing a tennis racquet, which is his side hustle when he attends the University of Maryland College Park this fall to study Materials Engineering.

King Strings can restring as well as repair grips. Give him a call at 202-499-8384 or DM on Instagram.
