Baltimore

it's raining

please to list #1 thing to do with an afternoon in baltimore!

walk a doggy in patterson park

if you don't have a doggy you're s.o.l. though, i guess

3 glasses of any of the (delicious) Oliver Ales on tap for $4 until 7pm at the Wharf Rat in Fells Point. There's other stuff to do for an afternoon in Baltimore but this is always how mine go.

please to list #1 thing to do with an afternoon in baltimore!

gabbipedia: get a crabcake at Faidley's in the Lexington Market (or, on a Saturday afternoon, go to Cross Street Market) then head to the Inner Harbor (checking out Old St. Paul's en route from Faidley's?) and go to the American Visionary Art Museum (walk up Federal Hill) and/or Aquarium (open til 8 on Friday) and/or water taxi to Fells Pt (and Fort McHenry?) (or cruise out to the Key Bridge with http://www.spiritcruisesbaltimore.com/bc/sightseeing/index.jsp or http://www.clippercity.com/ladyanna.html). or if you want less touristy, go up to Mt. Vernon and check out the Basilica, the Peabody, and the Walters.

at least that's what I'm gonna do

i want to go to here: http://www.joesquared.com

i went there once. it was ok.

go to the True Vine, look at the flyers for shows, go see something at The Bank, Floristree, Hexagon, Comfort Dome, America, Red Room ...

hey saturday is the baltimore herb festival

shit my friend says his couch is like, in his room? and also that he lives between dc and baltimore is that gonna make drinking difficult?

or maybe we should just stay out all night
what time do bars close?

what is a bus that goes from dc to baltimore and why can i not find this clearly stated anywhere on the interwebs?
thank you in advance. i do not have time to go through 300 bureaucratic web pages for different regional transit cos.

Greyhound (plus cab on destination end)

but Amtrak is bus-cheap

bars close at like 2am, Baltimore's not a great city for partying all night in legitimate drinking establishments

"if you're into the whole goyish '50s ladies lunchroom thing, eat here - http://www.womansindustrialexchange.org/";

Your information is several years out-of-date. Shocking, I know.

yeah they changed up the menu blah blah I know

"if you're into the whole baseball thing grab a ballpark frank @ memorial stadium!"

Amon spends a lot of time at the woman's industrial exchange so he should know

LOL @ gabbipedia

It does not play often, though, and may be rusty

more or less rusty than Fodor's Virginia & Maryland: The Complete Guide with Colonial Villages, Battlefields and the Shore (1997/4th ed)???

gabbneb spends a lot of time grabbing ballpark franks so he should know

recs now based on recent experience - skip teh aquarium. obv. - it might be good, but an aquarium is an aquarium, and for the same price you can go to the AVAM and take a water taxi, which are much more distinctive (likewise, the Greek/Roman/Egyptian stuff at the Walters, which is free, is v good, but you can see that stuff elsewhere too). instead, go directly do not pass go to the AVAM, where the current exhibit has some great stuff. i'd say at least 1.5-2 hours. i spent twice that, including in the store. definitely play with the music box on the first floor and also the audio thing downstairs near the bathrooms (and check out the bathroom entrance on the third floor, which has the least interesting stuff). you can do water taxis out to Fells late in the day when stuff is closing and it isn't as hot out and it's beer time.

i forgot what a fucking shithole this town is tho. and how weird it is - i'm walking up towards bolton hill and pass early 20sish black dude pushing a stroller and puffing on cig and give him the NYC checkout glance, and dude goes 'Sir'.

the AVAM is really a great museum tho

hey thanks for coming!

to the shithole!

i learned a long time ago not to look strangers up and down on the mean streets of Baltimore...can't tell you how many times i've been called "Sir"

me no understand

[i learned a long time ago not to look strangers up and down on the mean streets of Baltimore

theoretically yr not supposed to do that in ny either (tho the streets in most parts of the city are hardly mean these days); i do it all the time. ppl seemed to acknowledge one another more than in ny tho - i don't know if that'a a southern thing as much as it's a "small"-town thing.

me no understand

"race and class," bro
