Editor & writer Nadja Maril shares her thoughts
Yes I know many of my friends, neighbors, and colleagues–are disappointed. No Blue Angels air show this year to commemorate the U.S. Naval Academy Graduation. But then they don’t live downtown and own a dog, a golden retriever,
Sometimes silence is sweet.

I can sort of relate. This is our first year here in Annapolis so we were looking forward to the Blue Angels as we love them, but not looking forward to the stress it would put on our 2 cats. They’re still kind of stressed about the new house at this point so I’m glad they won’t have further stress.

if silence is so sweet then maybe you should shut up.
that sound may bother you ( a couple of days a year) but that sound is the sound of freedom, it’s what makes it so you can enjoy living where you want to and with whom.
theese guys and galls risk their lives everyday and should be proud to show off what they can do

Thank you for commenting. Annapolis is certainly a better place due to the presence of the U.S. Naval Academy.

The Blue Angels are not the sound of freedom. They are the noise of the military industrial complex glorifying destructive technological power and expertise. And I wish they’d perform somewhere else too, but the difference between me and editor Maril is that I’ll come out and say “I don’t care for the Blue Angels” whereas she’ll use her dog as the foil to bark it out so to speak. Just another example of the irrelevance and silliness of this “lifestyle” publication. If it’s not dental or breast uimplants, it’s stamped patios and garage organizers. If this pub extolls the conspicuous consumption and narcissistic lifestyle of Gibson Island and Wardour residents, why not get it on the supportive and complimentary Blue Angels flyover?

One cannot argue one’s love or disdain for the Blue Angels–it is merely an opinion and one that essentially HAS to be accepted.
But never let it be said that Paul Foer the self proclaimed “journalist, radio show host, and columnist” cum shelf stocker at a local garden center was able to pass a bridge without setting it on fire.
If you don’t like the magazine, don’t subscribe. If you don’t like the Blue Angels, that’s great. You voiced your opinion, but as is typical–attack attack attack.
