Located at 3000 maryland 97, this is yet another class U6 unincorprated community whose place name existence was made real by the Postal Service.
Seriously folks we're trying hard here, but here's the Wikipedia write-up:
"Glenwood is an unincorporated community in Howard County, Maryland, United States."
This is a full servic e post office. There's a flower shop across the street that also sells frilly gewgaws, and ice cream in the summer. Farms all around. Cattail Creek Country Club is about 2 miles south. Dare we say it, "downtown" Glenwood is about a mile north. Two strip malls, a school, a branch of the Howard County Library, a community/senior center.
The small strip mall on the east side of MD 97 has a nice used bookstore, and a liquor store with a decent wine selection. Two ladies run a gourmet food shop on the other side.
And waymarks abound up and down this area on 97, 'cause we been posting 'em like gangbusters!
Glenwood. Just like you pictured it!

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
