Opening Day

March 31st, 2008 · 6 Comments

This picture was taken at Photo Day in Camden Yards in 2004, along with some other pretty cool pictures that I’ll get around to sharing some day. 
In the mean time, enjoy this shot of the left field foul pole.  This pole has been in the park since it opened in 1992.    The right field pole […]

Lamp Post Contest: Name the City in Maryland

March 28th, 2008 · 17 Comments

 
I like street lamps and, as I’ve been traveling for the website, I’ve taken a few photos of them as I’ve gone along.  In today’s contest, lets see who can tell me what Maryland town, city, or other governmental district this lamp comes from.
 
Due to the special nature of Monday’s “post,” we’ll answer the […]

Mt Airy

Some of you might want to know what the home referenced in this picture actually looks like.   
What I find interesting about this place is that its primary function is that of a catering/banquet hall.   It seems like most of the historic houses that have not been adopted by the NPS are used for these purposes to raise […]

According to the NPS website one of the reasons for the increase in weaponry during the War of 1812 was that the British were especially angry at sailors from the port of Baltimore as so many of them had turned to pirating.  Apparently, after the US condoned citizens pirating enemy ships, Baltimoreans of the early […]

Got Tickets? To the Gun Show.

March 24th, 2008 · 7 Comments

As pointed out in the comments, the author of a prior post made a terrible oversight in this photo as they didn’t emphasise the building you see here: The Jerusalem Gun Factory.  From what I gathered in the tour, weapon stocks were built in this building for a short time and hence it garnered the […]

Horses

People forget that Maryland has a significant equestrian heritage.  As one of those people who, with the bustle of my daily activities, had forgotten about that, I was happy to come across this reminder.   I believe that MDP will be making a greater effort to find good horse pictures, possibly by encouraging its photographers to […]

Who doesn’t like bowling? Well I certainly like it. Here we have a shot of duckpin bowling, which is a type of bowling that is geographically centered around the state of Maryland. (Possibly encompassed by the state as well). This particular shot came from the Hillendale Bowling Center. For […]

Paper Moon

March 20th, 2008 · 7 Comments

Just about the most eclectic restaurant you will find in Maryland is the Paper Moon diner.  Their delicious food is served to you by team of waiters who all share the tips and the duty.   The decorations on the outside are largely based on mannequins and old toys and dolls, so its a little like walking […]

Seabrook historic schoolhouse
 
This is the Seabrook historic schoolhouse in Seabrook/Lanham, MD.   It opened in 1893, when it serviced the 1st through the 8th grade.   By the time it was closed in 1953, it served as a classroom for only the 1st grade. 
 
In its lifetime it has served as a meeting house for a community […]

Well if there are two things I can’t get enough of, they are Esskay hot dogs and the ability to tell time.   I am unable to tell you if that is an official Esskay Oriole frank or not, but either way here it is
