 Gotta go fishin' here! by tpangelinan Well I'm sure you have heard of Maryland Crabs, well if you haven't you NEED to try them, very well known around this area for being tasty and juicy! These waters are full of many types of seafood but it's the crabs you really want. Find water, then head for a marina and look for a local restaurant. Leave a Comment Theme: Fishing Trips

 Home of the Ravens by b1bob The Baltimore Ravens are a fair to middling NFL football team. They usually have an average winning record and in January, 2001, at the end of the 2000 season, the Ravens beat the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. They were originally the Cleveland Browns who unceremoniously packed up over a stadium and financial dispute at the end of the 1995 to play from 1996 forward in Baltimore who, ironically, were victims of a sudden NFL team departure- when the Colts moved to Indianapolis. The Cleveland Browns were reconstituted in 1999 and play twice each season against the Ravens. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: 101 Rissell St., Baltimore, MD 21230

 Nest of the Iron Birds by b1bob The Aberdeen Iron Birds are one of the farm teams for the Baltimore Orioles. This team was moved from upstate New York and renamed to reflect Cal Ripken and Aberdeen. The nickname Iron Birds has everything to do with local hero and owner Cal Ripken, Jr. The iron pays tribute to his record breaking playing streak, the bird refers to the "birds" which locals call the Baltimore Orioles for short. The mascot is a fighter plane with the number 8 (Cal Ripken, Jr.'s number on his Orioles uniform).

 Orioles Stadium at Camden Yards by b1bob The Baltimore Orioles, despite having a good team, have gone for year on year without going to the playoffs or the World Series despite recently retired Cal Ripken's 3000+ game attendance record. The stadium at Camden Yards, with its unique Baltimore charm almost rates as a must see activity.

 Fed Ex Field (Landover, MD) by b1bob The Washington Redskins are the capitol city's National Football League Franchise. They used to play in Washington, DC proper at Robert F. Kennedy stadium, but now they play at a stadium in suburban Landover, Maryland. The Washington Redskins are in the National Football Conference's Eastern Division against the New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

This is my entry for the continuing saga of visiting every professional baseball stadium. The Baltimore Orioles' home is at Camden Yards. I visited in June of 1999. It was one of, if not the very, first in the new ballparks that were designed to look old. This set the standard of what a park could be - not a big box or bowl but a stylish nod to the stadiums of the past that are unfortunately no longer with us. 1) Arrival & Departure I give this a 3 (on a 1-5 scale where 5 is best, 1 is shameful). It's in a busy part of town but there seemed to be ample garages to choose from and prices were fairly reasonable. 2) Food I was doing Baltimore in a quick day trip from D.C., so, in attempting to fit in as much as I could, I didn't eat lunch at the park. I'm sorry I missed it but this is Baltimore and there are a lot of restaurants to choose from. As such, no score. 3) Comfort I found the stadium to be very comfortable. The seats were nice, the space between the rows was good, the stands weren't too steep, and the game was easy to see. I give it a 5. 4) Enjoyment Well, this is a mixed bag. It was fun being there and getting to see the place - I really like how The Yards were designed. On the other hand, I had a bad experience with some other people who were there. And on the OTHER hand, there was a strong police presence so when my problem arose, they were right there to help, for which I was *extremely* grateful. So, I guess I'll even this out by giving it a 3. Overall, that would be an average score of 3. I would normally say I'd go back and give it another shot but I've sworn to never return to Baltimore so I don't think I'll get the chance. Luckily, I was able to see Ripken play there before he retired so that was great. Leave a Comment
