Maryland Daily Photo

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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
