Hi,
It's great getting lots of info from members here.
We will be staying around Inner Harbor area in Baltimore and plan to travel from Baltimore to Philadelphia (Reading Market area), subsequently travel from Philly to NYC ( around Penn Station) or anywhere there is a PATH station.
Any suggestion for bus services that is convenient for this itinerary? That doesn't require us to travel too far from hotels to the bus terminals.
How are Greyhounds, megabus or gotobus? Any other suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.
Hi Drandy. I took the Megabus from NYC to Boston in APril. It was cheap ($25 R/T), clean, and on-time. Megabus also serves Philly, Baltimore, and D.C. megabus.com I have never taken Boltbus, but I am told it is also efficient and cheap. boltbus.com Judging by each company's website, boltbus is a much bigger operation, covering northeast United States and lower Canada. While in Baltimore, check out the Fell's Point (or is it Fell's Cove?!) area, just a few miles east of the Inner Harbor. It;s very touristy, with cobblestoned streets, small shops and restaurants, and great views. Enjoy my city!
Hi - I've previously taken Greyhound and Megabus. Both good. All bus company's are pretty similar so I'd go with the least expensive. And most of them go to the same 1 or 2 bus stations with a city.
Actually Bolt and Megabus don't go to a terminal but stop on the street near the Amtrak train station at 30th and Market St. If the price is the same you will be closer to the Reading Terminal area if you take Greyhound because their terminal is at 11th and Filbert St.
While this doesn't work everywhere in the city, Fells Point, for example, most of the central core is divided between Charles Street, which runs north to south and divides the city between east and west, and Baltimore Street, which runs east and west and divides the city between north and south.
For example, going to an adddress in the 1800 block of E. Baltimore Street, you would be 18 blocks east of Baltimore and Charles Streets.
Pretty simple, huh?
Manny Ramirez is a great hitter for the Red Sox, so I welcomed the opportunity to take some photos of him. He has more than 100 RBIs for the past five seasons for the Red Sox. For several years, he has been the subject of trade rumors, but he is still a member of the Red Sox today.
If you're in Baltimore during the summer, you can't help but stumble upon snoball stands. (I think it's better spelled without the "w.")
Snoballs are not Italian ice or snow cones. Rather, it is roughly crushed iced, served in a regular beverge sized stryrofoam cup, with some very intense color-flavor thing on top.
The flavors run from the obvious: spearmint, chocolate, cherry to the ridiculous: skyblue (my fav as a kid, and I still can't tell you what it is), pokeman, Orioles.
There's tons of flavors. Feel free to mix them to your heart's content, nothing is too silly. And, you eat this with a spoon, and then your tongue turns whatever vibrant color you just had.
If you can't get Bergers cookies, snoballs are among the best desserts after chowing down on the other local custom, steamed crabs!
Be sure to have good walking shoes. Nobody like to travel and have sore feet. This makes for a very uncomfortable journey. A little commen sense goes a long way when traveling.
I hope you enjoy my town.
I visited the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Orioles Museum as a student, probably way back in 1993 or 1994.
On George Herman "Babe" Ruth was born February 6, 1895 at this home on 216 Emory Street. He lived here until the age of seven, when Ruth's father sent him away to St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys. At this orphanage, Babe Ruth learned to play baseball, and from here he signed his first brief contract with the Baltimore Orioles in 1914. Later that year the contract was purchased by the Red Sox and Ruth's big league career began. While he started as primarily a pitcher, over the next five years his hitting flourished, leading the league in home runs. By 1919, Ruth demanded a salary higher than his $10,000 per year, so the Red Sox were forced to sell him to the Yankees for $100,000. Babe played the next 15 years for the Yankees where he proved himself to be the game's greatest player.
The museum opened in 1974 and has since expanded to include the new sports museum at the Eutaw Street side of Camden Yards.
Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for kids, but there is a slight discount is you buy tickets for the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards as well.
Located a block northwest of Camden Yards.
