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.

Twenty-eight years ago, the magazine was created by owners Doug and Carol Naarup

in a one-room office and was only 28 pages. Today, with an average of 100 pages, the magazine has grown to a circulation of 28,000 Verified Copies distributed across the Eastern Shore.

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.
