"During the morning, (Lt. Gen Jubal) Early held the city of Frederick for $200,000 ransom lest he burn it, as his forces under McCausland were to set the torch to Chambersburg, Pa three weeks later. The mayor asked for some time to raise the money; but when it was clear that (Major Gen Lewis) Wallace could not save them, the city banks produced the funds. Unable to get compensation later from the Federal Government, the city assumed the debt, which was not paid off until 1951"

“. . . his unique and cutting edge jazz style in spades. Although very difficult to pigeon-hole and self-admittedly unique to any genre, his style is at once esoteric yet melodic and demands the listener to really pay attention. His writing takes you on jazz journeys that take you to places you never expected to go and make Ray an interesting listen. I like to call this “Brandy Music”, cause it goes so well with a snifter in hand. . . 3 of 4 Martinis!!”

(fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Airy,_Maryland)
Mt. Airy was established in 1830 and continued to develop throughout the decade, beginning with the construction of house settlements along Parr's Ridge. A man named Henry Bussard built the first of these houses. This town was known for its train station on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O) at Parr's Ridge. The railroad ran from Baltimore to Frederick, cities to the east and west, respectively, of Mt. Airy. Following 1830, the town received its official name after the suggestion of "Mount Airy" from an Irish B&O worker who complained about his freezing ears on a windy work day.[citation needed] Over the years, milling, canning and sewing industries initially helped support Mt. Airy's economy.
The city's proximity to the National Road contributed to its growth. The National Road ran west from Baltimore to Illinois. By the 1890s, the city's growth had increased significantly and three new churches were built (one Episcopal and two Methodist), along with a very important bridge, still standing and known by residents as the Twin Arch, that helped with railroad transportation. Four great fires (1903, 1914,1925 and more recently 2007) burned though the downtown district, but the town rebuilt every time.
The Mount Airy Historic District that includes the railroad station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
Currently, Mt. Airy is no longer economically dependent on the railroad, as citizens work a variety of different jobs. Many of its citizens work in Washington, DC or Baltimore; the city is a part of both of those cities' metropolitan areas. Mt. Airy is a neighborhood community for these job centers. Mt. Airy is similar to back in the day with the national road but now with Interstate 70 bordering the southern end of town with an interchange with MD-27. In the last few decades Mount Airy has had a lot of growth with the town which was part of the Residential project of the Mount Airy Master Plan from the 1994 to 2003 update.

Elk Run Vineyards is nestled in the rolling hills of Frederick County
surrounded by dairy and horse farms, fields of wheat and corn. The name
“Elk Run” was chosen for a stream. The deed name to the property is the
“Resurvey of Cold Friday.” It was a land grant from the King of England
to Lord Baltimore. The winemaker’s home is circa 1756. Since 1983 Fred
and Carol Wilson and Neill Bassford, family and friends, have made Elk
Run a shining star among American wine producers.
For the past 5 years Julian Wilson has taken on greater
responsibility for field management, wine making as well as the most
knowledgeable in new marking technology. Lauren Wilson, Julian’s wife, a
former Technical Director for WHAG in Hagerstown, has taken on
marketing & event work for the winery.
Using new world research and technology while maintaining the
traditions and values of old world practices, Elk Run’s focus is on
producing high quality wine from high quality grapes. Practicing
sustainable agriculture, on 25 acres, dense planted and controlled crop
is heightened by the soils of schist and shale which allow for deep
roots and good drainage. Eight hundred foot elevations help keep the
vineyard safe from frost danger. Warm days and cool nights preserve the
fruity character in the wines. Practicing sustainable agriculture, close
spacing with great attention to crop levels allow the wine maker to
create wines of varietal character, structure, balance and good color.
While a few wines are augmented by additional fruit, Elk Run Grows
all the varieties it makes. Elk Run is the sole grower, producer of
Gewurztraminer, the first and one of two who grow Pinot Noir ( 4 time
Gold medal winner in 2012 for our 2010.
