Hot Topic in the Annapolis Mall features energetic punk-rock music, cases of vinyl records and CDs, aisles full of wild pocket chains, hot-colored hair accessories, edgy clothing, funky make-up and a never-ending wall showcasing a large variety of band and novelty T-shirts--a fashionable dose of punk and rock. There are aisles filled with unique and eccentric items for both men and women of all ages. Manager Michelle Rossman invites local acoustic bands to play live concerts in the store on a monthly basis.
