A man was stabbed in the stomach in Annapolis just after Christmas in a dispute that began over which song should play on a restaurant jukebox, police said.

Police found the victim, Adonias Chacon Matute, 33, in the parking lot of the Annapolis Seafood Market in the 1300 block of Forest Drive at about 12:45 a.m. He has been stabbed deeply in the stomach and was badly injured, police said Friday.

Matute and other witnesses told police that they and the suspect, Martin Marroquin Rodriguez, 34, of Annapolis, were at LuPita’s Restaurant across the street earlier in the evening when they began arguing over music playing on the jukebox. Rodriguez did not like the song that Matute put on the jukebox, police said.

Bauernschmidt Manor – ‘B’ is for Beer in Baltimore

‘B’ is for Beer in Baltimore
Brewers can trace history back to Essex, Middle River area.

By Keith Roberts (Essex Patch, 4/11/2011)

“…The Bauernschmidt families were very famous brewers of beer here in Baltimore. A tradition they brought with them from their Bavarian roots. George Bauernschmidt built a brewing empire in Baltimore starting in 1864 with the founding of his George Bauernschmidt Beer brand.

He continued the brewery for more than 30 years becoming one of the most popular brews in Baltimore, eventually bringing his sons into the operation. The years passed by and wanting to slow down and enjoy life a little more, George sold the business in 1898. The sale of the business; however, angered his son Frederick so much that the younger Bauernschmidt started his own brewery.”

“…Fred and Agnes began building what we now call the Manor House sometime around 1905. It is rumored that bricks used for the foundation of the house came from buildings that were destroyed in the great Baltimore fire of 1904.

They lived in the home during summer months and hosted many parties and fundraisers there for their favorite charities. Many of Baltimore’s wealthiest residents attended these functions.

The large beautiful two-story home was probably completed sometime in 1906. It contained 15 spacious rooms and four fireplaces. The red slate roof was adorned with a huge cupola that was supported by brick columns 3 feet wide. The cupola offered a spectacular view of Middle River and the Chesapeake Bay. A large wrap-around, columned porch surrounds three sides of the building and that porch supports a balcony for the second floor.”
