We have been visiting Chesapeake City, Maryland since the mid 1990's - when a new bridge over the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal made the city easier for us to get to. When that happened, we discovered this charming little city's charming architecture, good food, shops, walkability, harbor, and canal museum. For me, two things make Chesapeake City makes unique. Its skyline is dominated by the C & D Canal bridge, and the fact that town's folk celebrate that fact, instead of lament it. To me, nothing demonstates that fact more than the town's pavilion - which mimics the bridge's shape and is so as to allow viewers to best appreciate the view of the town as it nestles under that looming bridge.
