Fell's Point - More fun than the Inner Harbor
by littlesam1
Baltimore's Inner Harbor is known world wide and its model has been used to revitalize inner city harbors all over the world. Most tourist coming to Baltimore want to see the Inner Harbor before they see anything else. Thats fine with us here in Baltimore, as long as you promise to check out some other more interesting areas that are also very tourist friendly. After a day with the kids at the Inner Harbor, treat yourself to an evening at a more adult friendly area in Fell's Point. Historically Fell's Point is one of the oldest parts of Baltimore dating back to the 1730's. Its historical old store fronts and cobble stone streets now are the homes of many shops and over 120 pubs. An afternoon or an evening pub crawl in Fell's Point is great fun and not overly expensive. Walk along the water front. Visit the shops. Check out the local micro brews and large assortment of imported beers that are available at the pubs. You will find street names like Thames Street and Shakesphere Street giving the area a bit of European feel.

When the game is over, the team that wins lines up on the field and they all give each other high fives. Wily Mo Pena won this game for the Red Sox with a grand slam, giving the players the opportunity to give their high fives.

Herring Run
by grandmaR
The Herring Run Watershed Association has an Eco-Day fund raiser every year.
[A run is a small stream or creek, often a shallow or intermittent tributary to a river. Also called regionally branch, brook, or kill].
They do stream cleanups at the eco-day, but they primarily have a 5K run (the other kind of running), and a walk.
In addition to the run, they also have exhibits on water quality, trash removal, sewage treatment, a swap meet, speeches and music. When I took this picture, they also had some mounted police patrol horses. We participated in this for two years by driving Bob's electric car and exhibiting it on the field and giving out literature.
