    Last night brought a snowstorm the likes of which the City has not seen in years… in ’96 I spent a week snowed in during the big storm… today does not look much different, except the snow keeps coming so much faster I live close to a state highway, here it is this afternoon– so…

Since that imperceptible moment in my childhood,…

  • Postcards from the Past

    Last weekend, I ventured down to the water for the Fells Point Fun Festival; it was the first time I had been down that way in almost five years. In all of the years I’ve been away, parts of the City have truly grown and revitalized in a way I was not fully prepared for.…

  • Charm City

    Today I miss Baltimore. There’s just something about that funny little town on the Chesapeake that cannot be found anywhere else in the world… Something about the people and the City’s strange little quirks that I will always love. Images: Me
