The dedicated staff strives each month to produce a magazine of exceptional quality.

One that creates community pride among readers and highlights services

offered by local businesses here on Delmarva.

34 years ago, the magazine was founded by owners Doug and Carol Naarup.

Today, with an average of 100 pages, the magazine has grown to a circulation of 23,000

distributed across the Eastern Shore,

over 18,000 mailed and over 4,000 hand delivered.

The Metropolitan is the only magazine on the Easten Shore of Maryland with verified circulation.

The Metropolitan is still locally owned and operated by the Naarups

and its staff is still focused on exceptional client service.
