Every spring, most Baltimoreans plan a visit to Sherwood Gardens, a private park open to all (dawn to dusk) in the Guilford section of the city. It's really truly lovely.
Actor Jon Bernthal is playing corrupt Baltimore Police Sgt. Wayne Jenkins in the HBO miniseries "We Own This City," all about the crooks in the defunct Gun Trace Task Force. These rotten bums sullied the relationship between the city cops and the residents of Baltimore. Jenkins is in a federal lockup until 2038, so maybe the series will still be streaming when he gets out.
If you've ever seen the giant bolts and nuts on structures such as highway lights and signs, you think "they must have some king-size wrenches to build them!" See the banana for size comparison.
These are just normal size tools, but don't try tightening anything with them. They are made of chocolate, in a chocolate shop in Krakow, Poland.
This one reminds me of the one where the skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop. I love skeleton jokes.
Continuing our series of WorldWide Mobile Homes, this combination school bus/ski chalet/outhouse offers getaway fun in high style!
Not the greatest grill in the world, although we had a little hibachi long ago and it worked great! But what a view for an Italian vacation!
$12.95 for a hot fudge sundae at Peter Luger's Steak House in New York doesn't seem so bad when you see the price of a steak there!
Chris Rock, still wearing a somewhat surprised look, came to town last weekend for two shows and found a minute to pose with a fan at a store in Fell's Point.
There used to be two or three "local" beers in every city before the giant breweries took over. This is the former American brewery in East Baltimore. In their heyday, a six-pack of their beer cost 99 cents. It sold well on Sundays, after everyone spent the big money on better beer on Friday and Saturday.
