Welcome to Bawlmer, "Hon."
*That is the catch phrase that you may hear local Baltimore
residents use as their way of saying, "Welcome to Baltimore."
Today we spent the day in Baltimore, Maryland
We visited East Baltimore, Historic Canton, Historic Fells Point,
Downtown, Inner Harbor and Baltimore Washington BWI Airport.
Baltimore City is rebuilding its East Side with new home communities
new street lights and new traffic lights, near John Hopkins Hospital.
JHH campus looks so different with all the new buildings & crosswalk.
Wish a timeshare developer like Marriott or Wyndham would see
the potential for a resort and build a timeshare in Baltimore, MD.
We seen.. an arabber with his horse drawn cart (wagon)
filled with fruits and vegetables working along Broadway.
Arabbers, are also known as hucksters and entrepreneurs, and are
usually black males. Their wagons are painted bright red and yellow
and the horses are adorned with “Baltimore harnesses.” black with
gold trim. Many years ago we would get our fruits & vegetable from
Baltimore Arabbers. Now days Arabbers are an Endangered Species.
We seen.. Ladies from the Red Hat Society - shopping in Fells Points.
United States Coast Guard Cutter Taney, the last ship floating after the
attack on Pearl Harbor (now a museum ship in Baltimore's Inner Harbor).
New buildings are going up everywhere especially in the Inner Harbor
area next to the Marriott Waterfront Hotel along Aliceanna Street
There is also a new Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites in downtown
and another one just opened out near BWI Airport/Arundel Mills area.
There is a nice CVS Drug Store downtown near the Inner Harbor where
we stopped at and got a new shredder and some Baltimore Post Cards.
It was a warm day with some sun and a few clouds but all in
all everyone was out enjoying Preakness Saturday in the city.
The incredible filly Rachel Alexandra
won the 134th running of the Preakness Stakes Saturday at Pimlico,
becoming the first female horse to win the Preakness since 1924.
No Triple Crown winner this year!
Don`t forget The dates for Baltimore
HonFest 2009 are June 13-14, 2009.
