What Makes Crownsville Unique?

• In September 1989, Jeff Arch began working on a script for TriStar Pictures based on An Affair To Remember. Attracted by the local area, Arch originally placed the main protagonist as a resident in Crownsville in the initial draft. Tristar insisted that Arch choose a different location that would be more well-known to the American movie-going population. After several attempts to please TriStar, Arch finalised on Seattle. The reason often cited by Arch for the change of location was they could not think of a better title than Sleepless in Seattle.
• Maryland Renaissance Festival - employs more than 600 people during each season, working in entertainment and customer service. Eighty-five acres of parking space handle an average of 14,700 customers daily. The English Tudor village is 25 acres of woods and field that transport patrons to an era of chivalry, bawdiness, and good fun. There are more than 130 craft shops displaying many wares handmade by the village artisans. Forty-two food outlets provide a feast of foods rarely seen at other festivals. Each season, more than half a million beverages are served at the Festival's eight soft drink stands, five beer stands, and five taverns.
