Looking for someplace fun to poke around on Friday after breakfast. I looked up Chesapeake Bounty in St Leonard and that's a possibility BUT I'm curious about something. Can Chesapeake Bounty be seen from Route 4? I've driven through Calvert a billion times and don't pay that much attention. There's something off to the right of the main road that looks like it has a lot of plants fruits etc. Is that Chesapeake Bounty or another farmers market?

No, it's right off 4 and hidden by a rise alongside the road if you're southbound. You likely can see it going northbound but it's still a bit hidden.

Yep. Right turn on 765 from Rt. 4 North. Most of the times I've been there they had a good selection of various stuff.

A bit, but definitely visible NB.
Good that makes things less complicated then. Do either of you know if there's anything like "junk" stores or antique stores that are not Grandma's Attic or Chesapeake Marketplace fairly nearby?

Theres's also a few places in St Leonard proper that will tickle your fancy for antique stores......granted i'm not familiar with the two you listed so I don't have anything to compare them with.
Just looked at their Facebook page. Looks interesting thanks!
St Leonards has antique stores or something similar to them? Not coming up on Google. I'm thinking breakfast at Dreamweavers and then on to a produce stand, farmers market, antique store, junk store. We like historic landmarks also if you've got some, getting pictures for a memory book before we both get dementia.

Yes they have 2, the Chesapeake Marketplace and Auction house is located at the circle and another is located a quarter mile north on St Leonard Road that just opened up. It's called "Retro-" something or other. I just noticed the sign yesterday, but had been out of town for a week.
Just south of the marketplace is the St. Leonard Poling House historical landmark.
I love Chesapeake Marketplace but it's too much for Friday. Looking up Retro something - sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you!
So I looked that up and look what I found! https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=181827
Retroasis. Comic books, 8 track, vinyl records, toys etc. I'm the wrong age group!

Thanks been there recently too. Maybe I went the wrong time of year but it's not as interesting as it once was.Dowell Road

Thanks - just looked it up - on the list.
It never occurred to me, but there's a LOT to do and see in this county, most especially when you have someone who's so much fun to be with...these last two years I've seen and been to more places in this area then I've been to in the last twenty plus years. My declining, dementia years are shaping up pretty nicely!
