Maryland Daily PhotoEvery Week Day a New Picture from MD

When I worked at a Bank we got every holiday imaginable off.  In addition, (or subtraction, or perhaps addition by subtraction) we would never have to work on the Saturday before a Monday holiday.   When I worked for a retailer, every Monday holiday became the most important business day(s) of the quarter.  Now I don’t work in a retailer, so I expected to have the day off.  However, I was wrong and apparently I’m not the only one who didn’t have the day off. 

In Baltimore there was minimal signage for sales or celebrations or anything to do with Columbus.   I finally found a sign of the holiday (fortunately close to the office) at the Columbus statue across from the public works museum.  There was a parade through part of town on Sunday, but this seems to be all that remained on Monday.  

Of course, I know about the controversy surrounding Columbus, and I’m not trying to take an opinion on it (like this guy) but I just found it a bit odd to see such a lack of activity on a day when I expected people to be milling around.
