Updated: (Jan. 2, 5:50 a.m.) – We started to see the retail market pick up a bit in Odenton and Severn in 2012. New businesses popped up along Annapolis and Telegraph Roads, bringing some new options for shopping and eating to the area. 

The New Orleans Kitchen and French Market was a fine addition to the culinary landscape, while Bear's Honeypot offered a new spot for local food items. We got a new Patient First, and a new Mexican restaurant opened to replace the Daily Diner.
