The Annapolis City Council on Monday will seek public input on four bills, including one to establish a 12th city holiday recognizing Maryland’s new constitution that abolished slavery and another to condemn a former U.S. President for his role in an attempted insurrection at the U.S. Capitol two weeks ago.
Teresa Williams, owner of Gateway Florist and Academy Flowers, whose generosity, advocacy and charity made her a cherished part of the fabric of Annapolis, died suddenly Monday.
By BROOKS DUBOSE | The Capital, Annapolis, Md. | Published: January 23, 2021 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Tribune News Service) Teresa Williams wanted to live in Annapolis so bad she couldn t wait to close on a house or sign a lease. So she started living on a boat dubbed Impulsive. Childhood memories of spending weekends on the Chesapeake Bay with her family triggered a decades-long desire to live in the waterside town. She first bought the Gateway Florist and ran the storied flower shop from the boat. A house would come later. The unorthodox move perfectly encapsulated her mom, daughter Amanda Williams said. Her decisions weren t impulsive because they lacked justification. She just wanted to do something, and she went and did it.
