I ought to take a few pictures of the DC rowhouses. A comparison of the two cities and their rowhouses might be interesting. Love the pictures. Keep them coming.

An old theater used as a church:

The other church on the block:

I'm not sure what this building at the end of the block was used for but it's very nice:

I couldn't get a head-on shot of the entire front

I saw my first opera here. It was nice that we weren't the only young people in the audience:

Edgar Allen Poe statue:

The Quilted Gargoyle:

The Village Learning Place:

The building on the left had a sign that said The Federal Land Bank of Baltimore:

The day I left I encountered a roadblock on my path to downtown:

Baltimore- Four Seasons Hotel and Legg Mason Tower

There is already a rendering of this in the Baltimore projects thread, but I thought I'd include the rendering of the new Four Seasons and the adjacent Legg Mason tower on the signboard at the project site. This project broke ground not too long ago and is rising fairly quickly.

Please do visit DC. The city has improved significantly over the past twenty years or so. Baltimore has likewise enjoyed a renaissance- at least parts of it have. Both cities seem to be weathering the economic storm better than most, though who knows what will happen next...D.C. is still somewhat insulated from most recessions. Thanks for your kind words on the pictures in the thread. Thanks to Eridony, we have a strong documentaion of Baltimore which we have not had before. I have been enjoying your San Francisco shots.

A rear view of the new Hilton Baltimore from the convention center light-rail station- this is hardly an interesting buiilding, but I am sure it will be a busy hotel

The Marriot hotel in the Harbor East development.

[tombarnes]

I've stayed in this hotel a number of times and had never thought to photograph it. Your photo makes it seem much more interesting than it really is. Well done indeed.

Here are a few more pictures since I really never finished up with my last post. Hopefully none will be reposts.

Buildings along Connecticut Avenue (this section is technically 18th Street- go figure) in downtown Washington. The Guitar Shop is an interesting store where many famous musicians have visited. Fuddrucker's below simply has lousy hamburgers.

Inner Harbor, Baltimore

[electricmonk]

Went up to Baltimore a couple weeks ago and got a few generic tourist type shots. Unfortunately I was only there overnight so I wasn't able to do much more than the Inner Harbor. I love that city so I hope to get back up there soon and do some more off the beaten path type stuff. On to the photos.

BALTIMORE "FREEDOM" 8/1/2019   BALTIMORE was the second American City to hit 100,000 after New York City. "There's a room where the light won't find you Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down When they do, I'll be right behind you -Tears for Fears, EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD The anthem's history began the morning of September 14, 1814, when an attorney and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key watched U.S. soldiers—who were under bombardment from British naval forces during the War of 1812—raise a large American flag over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
