People sound off on whether a man screaming, cursing and threatening moviegoers at a Bow Tie Cinema in Annapolis will affect their future movie going decisions.
A man sent moviegoers running for the exits at the Bow Tie Cinemas in Annapolis Harbour Center Wednesday after he shouted at patrons and pretended to have a gun aimed at them. The incident occured weeks after James Holmes shot 71 people, killing 12, in a mass shooting at a movie theather in Aurora, CO. “After the Aurora shooting, I thought about how I might be safer going to this Bow Tie instead of the one at the mall because they're a lot less crowded and have easier access to exit doors,” Douglas Fredrik Holm wrote on Edgewater-Davidsonville's Facebook Page. Kyle Nolan Tanner, 25, sat down in the front row of a Bow Tie theater and started cursing at the screen and at people, according to Anne Arundel County Police. Witnesses told police …

A program at the popular coffee shop provides used coffee grounds to customers to spread in their gardens or compost piles.
Starbucks has a well-kept secret. Ever wonder what the popular coffee purveyor does with all those coffee grounds that go into your lattes? The coffee giant has a program that’s been going since 1995—the Grounds for Your Garden initiative. Most Starbucks stores in Greater Annapolis, and elsewhere, will save up used coffee grounds for customers to carry away and use in their gardens and compost heaps. For free. “We introduced Grounds for Your Garden in 1995, which offers customers complimentary five-pound (2.27-kilogram) bags of used coffee grounds to enrich garden soil," a Starbucks spokesman said in an email. "And where commercial composting is available, many stores are able to divert other food waste and coffee grounds from the landfill…

Sold-out Westfield Annapolis premier leads to additional midnight showings at Annapolis Harbour Center as Potter mania builds.
Dan Herrle is a happy theater manager. Bow Tie Cinemas 11 at the Westfield Annapolis mall sold out the midnight premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last week, a full seven days before the July 14 opening. The early sell-out prompted theater management to add midnight showings at the Bow Tie Harbour Center 9 theaters—and those tickets are selling fast. “This is the first time we’ve seen a sell-out this early in advance,” Herrle said. “We’ve sold 2,600 tickets at the mall and if the Harbour Center sells out that will be another 1,800 tickets.” The possible 4,400 tickets in two Annapolis theaters are a drop in the bucket. Online movie ticket seller Fandango reported last month that advance purchases for Deathly Hallows …

Matava to close Tuesday, while DSW is slated to open in the old Office Depot in the fall.
After seven years at the Annapolis Harbour Center, Matava Shoes will close on Tuesday. "It's a combination of a lot of things; it's not one thing," said Kathy Matava, owner, who also has two stores in the Baltimore area. Matava said though the first year at the Annapolis store was "phenomenal" every year since has been disappointing. "It's the first store I've had where we actually decreased," she said. "I think this is a tough market here. While we have loyal customers, there aren't enough of them. I'm not sure if it's the casual lifestyle of Annapolis, they just don't seem to be into as upscale retail as a lot of other cities are." And then there was a big hit from a neighbor. "It didn't help that Whole Foods left," Matava said. "The (…
