 The man will die, not his work by dlandt
Edgar Poe is most widely known for his horror fiction, like The Cask of Amontillado, or his poem The Raven. My favorite poem is For Annie. He is also known as the inventor of the mystery novel. He had a penchant for not naming the settings in which his stories took place but presumably, Baltimore is the scene of many of his finer works.
As a writer, and a lover of writing, coming here was something of a pilgrimage. When I decided to visit Baltimore, this was the one thing I was absolutely bound to do. Leave a Comment Address: Greene and Fayette StreetsDirections: The western edge of downtown

If you follow the Jones Falls north from the city, you'll see several. This one is just south of the Hampden neighborhood. Leave a Comment

 Babe Ruth's childhood home by Yaqui
At Camden Yards where Babe Ruth's Statue is and look for the very cute baseballs painted on the sidewalk and follow them. They're 60 of them to represent the home runs he hit in 1927 that set a record for home runs in a single season.;-) Thanks Mike;-)) Leave a Comment

 Shot Tower by dlandt
Arriving here isn't all that important as you can't enter the tower. There is, however, a small shopping mall, and at the base of the tower is a memorial to Baltimore policemen who have fallen in the line of duty. Leave a Comment Address: Inner Harbour

The Evergreen House is a masion built in the mid-1800s by the owner of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Successive generations have left their mark on the house, and what a mark it is. There is a fabulous collection of Asian art and Tiffany lamps, along with art by Degas, Bonnard, and Vuillard. The house itself, is lovely, and except for a bathroom with a gold toilet, rather restrained in the showing-off-the-wealth department.
The grounds are lovely as well. Leave a Comment

 being crabby.... by ellielou
Cross Street Market, in Federal Hill, is smaller with a different demographic, but has a great, large raw bar, that's often packed on Saturdays.
You could also check out the Broadway Market in Fells Point. Theresa's is a great place for breakfast. Leave a Comment
