For anyone who has ever heard of the town of Dorsey, MD there’s only a few things that can come to mind when they hear the name: Industrial Parks, a MARC Station, being close to a mall, and the Timbuk 2 restaraunt (home of some delicious and giant crab cakes)
This is the MARC station, which is not so interesting in its relation to the railroad, but is interesting becasue of the clock tower with the squared flag elements.
I had generally only passed by here on my way to the mall, but as I mentioned yesterday, I had to pick somebody up there and that finally gave me the opportunity to get close to the building.

Any idea what the flag stands for?

Of course! The black and gold checked areas are the colors of the Calvert family and the cross is from the Crossland family, which respectively represent the father and mother of the first Lord Baltimore, who founded the state.

Oh, and here I thought the answer to that question was “the best damn state in the union.”
