BALTIMORE HERITAGE WALK

The Heritage Walk tour offered by the Baltimore Heritage Area Association departs from the Inner Harbor Visitor Center and takes guests through the Inner Harbor, Little Italy, and historic Jonestown. This historic tour includes a variety of engaging sights, including:

If you would like to take in these sights yourself, you’ll be happy to know that the Baltimore Heritage Walk is easy to navigate as a self-guided walking tour as well.

So you’re looking for a new SUV, and you really want a Chevy. What’s the name of that one you liked the look of–was it a Blazer or Trailblazer? Wait, they’re two different vehicles? Yes, that is right. What’s the difference, they’re both Chevy SUVs, right? You are absolutely correct, but there are quite a few significant differences that could affect which one you choose to purchase for your next vehicle. The 2021 Blazer is a midsize SUV that can take you places, while the 2021 Trailblazer is a more compact SUV that’s ready to go the distance.

THE BLAZER

This two-row midsize SUV is stylish and athletic. The Blazer offers sleek, bold design in a performance-based package. Its spacious cargo area can be reconfigured with the 60/40 split second-row seating, so you can fit all your gear for any week-long adventure trip. Its Driver Mode Selector lets you adjust your vehicle’s performance on multiple road surface conditions, at the touch of a dial with up to five different options. The Blazer’s 8-inch diagonal color-touch display with the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system comes standard in all trims, and will keep you connected and aware of your surroundings.

THE TRAILBLAZER

Just because the Trailblazer is small doesn’t mean it can’t take you on big adventures. Its bold, fresh look will catch your eye, and the two-tone roof on the ACTIV and RS models adds an extra touch of style. Its flat-folding seats let you adjust the cargo area to fit all your hauling needs. Whether you’re driving around town, or heading off on an adventure, you can adjust to your road condition needs, with Normal, All-Wheel Drive (or Snow on FWD) and Sport drive modes. There’s no road trip this little SUV isn’t up for.

PRICE

This might be a big factor in which vehicle you choose, depending on your budget or specific requirements. The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer starts at an economical $19,000. This gets you the base model with no extras, which is great if that’s all you need. Add in a few upgrades and you’re still under $25k, while if you add all the extras and get the top model you’re sitting at about $27,000, still under where the 2021 Chevy Blazer starts at $28,800. With the Blazer Premier 3.6L V6 AWD SUV top-of-the-line, you’re looking at a respectable $45k.

POWER

The Blazer is the more powerful of the two, and comes with a base 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine, with 193 horsepower at 6,300 rpm, and a nine-speed automatic transmission to get you to the far-out places you want to go. The more powerful Premier trim will give you a 3.6-liter V6 engine and all-wheel drive that can handle anywhere you want to go, and maybe some places you didn’t. The laid-back Trailblazer has a base 1.2 L 3-cylinder engine with 137 hp at 5,000 rpm, and a continuous variable transmission.

SIZE

The Trailblazer is a trendy compact SUV, offering you the benefits of a sports vehicle with the desirable higher mileage of a smaller car. The midsize Blazer gives you that extra space for all those adventure trips, or packing sports equipment to the kids’ games. You might not need the extra room, but if you want to pull a trailer then you will need the larger SUV’s more powerful engine. On the other hand, if you don’t even care what a trailer hookup is for, then the Trailblazer offers you everything you need.

MILEAGE AND FUEL

The smaller of these two SUVs will get you better mileage, and this might be a consideration if you don’t need the more powerful engine and extra room the Blazer offers. The compact Trailblazer has a city miles-per-gallon of 28, while cruising on a highway gets you up to 31 mpg. Compare this to the Blazer’s 21 mpg for city driving and 27 for highway. As you can see, that bigger vehicle does burn a little more fuel which is expected with a bigger engine. It also carries a 19.4-gallon fuel tank, compared to the smaller Trailblazer’s 13.2-gallon tank.

OPTIONS AND TRIMS

Both vehicles come with a number of upgrades and additional features. The Chevy Trailblazer offers five trim versions starting with the L base model up to the sporty RS. The base 1.2 L 3-cylinder engine can be upgraded to a 1.3 L 3-cylinder engine with 155 horsepower. The Blazer has six trim options, from the L base, all the way up the Premium trim, and three engine options including the 2.0 L Turbo 4-cylinder. Both the Blazer and Trailblazer can be either front or all-wheel drive, depending on which package you choose. Both models also have several additional optional configurations.

DIMENSIONS

As mentioned, the Blazer is the bigger of the two SUVs. But let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the actual differences. At 191.4 inches the Blazer is nearly 18 inches longer than the Trailblazer that comes in at 173.5 inches in length. The Blazer is also about 1.5 inches taller, and 5 inches wider. The Trailblazer has a 103.9-inch wheelbase, compared to the Blazer’s at 112.7 inches. In the cargo area, the Trailblazer has 25.3 cubic feet, or 54.4 with seat area included. The Blazer holds an additional five cubic feet of cargo, or nearly ten with seating.

Whichever Chevy SUV you go with, you will drive with confidence knowing you have a vehicle that has it all: looks, performance, room for the whole family, safety features, and the latest in infotainment connectivity. Has this list helped you decide whether the 2021 Trailblazer or the 2021 Blazer is a better fit for your needs? Do you want something spacious yet compact for navigating city traffic? Or, does that high horsepower engine have you dreaming of riding off into the sunset? Contact us at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet today and we can answer any additional questions you might have.

There’s much to see and do outdoors in the nation’s Capitol, from gardens to monuments, to outdoor dining and historic parks. As you wander the streets you can see historic buildings where so many important events have taken place, then stop for a beverage, or enjoy a meal at a quaint park. You might follow paths where this country’s founders have walked. Learn the history of the people that came before them, who lived in the area for 4,000 years. Take time from your busy day to enjoy the open air, the pleasant promenades, and visit some of these local attractions.

VICTURA PARK AT THE REACH

Located outside the River Pavilion at the Kennedy Center’s newest addition, the REACH, Victura Park is an outdoor wine and beer garden, and family-friendly cafe. Returning for its second season due to its popularity, you can stop for a coffee or brew while wondering the nearby Presidential Grove, viewing sculptures and gardens, and seeing yourself in the reflecting pool. You will find plenty of cafe and picnic tables with shade umbrellas outside. Or take a blanket to the lawn to enjoy a beer and light lunch while watching the waters of the great Potomac River flow by. 

Victura Park is open on the weekend, from 4-9pm on Fridays, and 12-9 on Saturdays and Sundays. Meal options include bratwurst, knackwurst, or vegan-wurst, with bun and sides, or a grilled chicken platter. A variety of cheese and charcuterie boards, as well as pretzel sticks with beer cheese, and pita bread with hummus, are available from the drinks menu. They have a selection of beers, wines from around the world, and canned cocktails. Hot chocolate and hot apple cider are available plain, or with whiskey or rum. You can keep it simple with a nice cup of tea or coffee. 

CONSTITUTION GARDENS

You will find the Constitution Gardens within the National Mall between the Reflecting Pool, the Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial, and 17th St NW. It was created in 1976 as part of the Bicentennial celebrations, and serves as a living tribute to the US Constitution. It’s situated on land that was once under the Potomac River, before being drained in the early 20th century by the Army Corps of Engineers. The land was used as a site for temporary Navy buildings during WWI, though it wasn’t until the 70s that the buildings were removed and the park was founded. 

This 50-acre park includes a small lake with an island accessible by a footbridge. Paths meander through tree-shaded meadows where you can escape the hustle of the city. In 1982, a memorial was erected on the island in Constitution Lake, to the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. It is made of 56 stone blocks, with each one including a gold reproduction of a signer’s signature as well as his occupation and hometown. They are arranged by state and include all of the 13 original colonies. The island, named Signers Island, is frequented by the local waterfowl.

US NATIONAL ARBORETUM

The US National Arboretum was established in 1927 by an act of Congress. It is comprised of 446 acres in northeast Washington, D.C., with over 9 miles of roadways running through it. The Arboretum is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service, and functions as a center of botanic research on trees, shrubs, turf, and new ornamentals. Its gardens include The Friendship Garden around Arbor House, the Holly and Magnolia Collections, the Dogwood Collection on a slope overlooking the Anacostia River, the Perennial Collections featuring favorite like daffodils and daylilies, and many more.

One of the Arboretum’s many attractions is the National Grove of State Trees. 41 species of trees are grown in 51 plots, one for each state and D.C., that spread over 30 acres. Each plot contains a grove of a state tree, or another indigenous species better suited to the local climate. You can stroll among the trees, and enjoy a picnic at the tables near the entrance. While wandering through the beautiful gardens, see if you can spot the Capitol Columns, a group of 22 sandstone columns that were once part of the east portico of the Capitol Building.

KENILWORTH PARK AND AQUATIC GARDENS

Across the Anacostia River from the Arboretum, you will find Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens. For many years, approximately 4,000 in fact, the Nacotchtank people lived in the fertile wetlands of the river. They had a thriving culture, relying on the food the marshes and flood-lands of the river provided. As the English invaded, they cleared the land of its protective trees, and when the industrial revolution came the natural wetlands were all but lost. It was Helen Fowler who lobbied to have her father’s aquatic gardens, and thereby the natural marsh around them, preserved. 

Today you can visit lush gardens mixed with meadows and marshland, and see ponds where 500-year-old lotus grow. With no trails longer than half a mile, it’s easy to access any part of the gardens. You can listen to the chirping of frogs, catch sightings of pond turtles, and learn about the local ecology. The park is a paradise for birders, with the woods and marshlands being home to 236 different species year-round, plus migratory flocks through the season. You might even see deer, otters, and muskrats, who are happy to call the park their home.

Washington, D.C. is home to some incredible parks, gardens, and outdoor spaces. You can stroll alongside flowing rivers, walk in the shade of historic trees, explore collections of rare and exotic plants, or just sit in the sunshine and have drinks with a loved one. Have you visited any of the parks in the D.C. area? What’s your favorite outdoor activity when you’re in the Capitol? At Koons White Marsh Chevrolet we’d love to hear about your best D.C. outdoor spots, so drop us a line and let us know what else is out there.

The Chevy Tahoe has been redesigned for 2021, and there are many notable changes. Let’s start with the infotainment system, which has been upgraded to a 10.2-inch touch screen. This touch screen is prominently displayed on the dashboard, making it much easier to see things like directions without needing to look away from the road.

Both the exterior and interior were also updated with fresh looks. The cabin, in particular, features a striking design, along with soft leather surfaces. There’s also much more room now for both cargo and passengers. This is most noticeably seen in the third row, where 10-inches of legroom was added.

To round out these changes, more standard driver-assistance features have been added. The list of safety features is already lengthy, which is good to see. This large SUV stands out due to this redesign and is more than worthy of adding it to the top of your car shopping list.

The new Chevy Colorado doesn’t add an overwhelming set of new features but it does make a handful of solid changes that creates a distinct version of the Chevy Colorado. The 2021 model year of the Chevy Colorado gets a new front fascia refresh, eliminates the Base trim, gets revised badging, and adds some new paint options. The latest year of the Chevy Colorado also gets a new Chrome Appearance package on the LT trim.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

The WT (Work Truck) slots in as the base trim of the Chevy Colorado, offerings up ample power, tech, and versatility. Powering the WT is a 2.5-liter inline-4 engine that makes 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque. Working with the base engine is a two-wheel drivetrain and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The interior of the WT trim includes a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display, two rows of seating, and vinyl/cloth seats. The Chevy Colorado also includes a cornerstep rear bumper, a locking tailgate, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

ZR2 TRIM OVERVIEW

Looking for an off-road version of the Chevy Colorado? If yes, then the new Chevy Colorado ZR2 is a must consider! The Chevy ZR2 boasts the amplest array of performance and off-road features, mainly because it comes equipped with a ZR2 off-road package. The ZR2 includes standard four-wheel drive, full-locking front differential, an off-road rocker protector, 17-inch DuraTrac tires, and a ZR2 off-road package. The ZR2 off-road package is what really makes the ZR2 a brawny, versatile trim. The ZR2 off-road package includes multitrack shocks, off-road front fascia, and a taller/wider stance. The ZR2 also offers up a more powerful engine, offering drivers the choice of a 36.-liter V6 gas engine and a 2.8-liter turbodiesel inline-4 engine.
