Here's a free wallpaper just for you! And if someone asks you where this was taken, just say, "I dunno. Some guy put it on his facebook page, that's all I know."
From the learn-something-new-every-day department: that white strip of moulding about 8 or 9" from the ceiling is called a San Francisco picture rail. Many of the houses in SF with plaster walls did not allow pictures to be hung in the normal way, so these strips were installed to hang photos and paintings from them as you see here.
Baltimore was once a thriving center for duckpin bowling, but with the closing of the Patterson bowling alley (because Baltimore desperately needs more apartments) there are very few places left to bowl the ducks. The difference between duckpins and tenpins is that the duckpins are short and squat and scatter easily when hit just right by a rolled ball that is smaller than a tenpin ball and has no fingerholes.
I suppose it's not uncommon in certain parts of the country to see a horse walking around loose on the streets. In Baltimore's Pimlico neighborhood, horses who just lost in the 5th race are often gracious enough to give bettors a ride home. Just ask down at the paddock.
Signs, signs, everywhere a sign! Like the one in the hardware store that says, "Cast iron sinks." Well, who doesn't know that?
We all had these notebooks for math or compositions, but this one was different. It's the arithmetic workbook of Uziyah Garcia, who lost his life at age ten in the Robb Elementary massacre in Uvalde, Texas. Uziyah was killed because he lived in a nation that prizes the rights of gun owners over the right of children to continue living, studying math, and enjoying this world. "There's one more kid that'll never go to school, Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool." - Neil Young
The B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore is all dressed up for Christmas!
They called it Art Deco, short for the French term Arts Décoratifs, and it was a way of adding flair and someone's idea of elegance to design, and also add fender skirts to all vehicles, including this simple trike from 1939.
Judge to turtle: "So who put half a raspberry on your back?" Turtle: "I have no idea, your honor. It all happened so fast!"
You're gonna think I'm kidding, but this is a thing, or becoming one...Butter Candles! The idea is, they add light to your table as you dine, and then you have nice soft butter to put on your roll or croissant or whatever. But suddenly it's dark as you enjoy the roll...
