About the Insider

Hi, I’m Michael Cole. I’ve called St. Mary’s County home for 20 years. I’m also a dad of two, so I know the value of a good local plan.

I started the Insider to make it easier to keep up with the place we call home. Good food. Local businesses. Community news. Things worth getting out of the house for.

Every Tuesday morning, I send the useful stuff straight to your inbox. You’ll find local events, new eats, community updates, the County Quiz, and a weekly calendar to help you plan ahead.

More than 5,200 neighbors read along. I’m glad you’re here.
