More Random Bits of Baltimore

We've been visiting Baltimore a lot since it is so close to home. These pictures include both pre- and post-pandemic times.

Maybe they can fix it up for the 100th anniversary?

A locally famous sign advertises the chance to eat Bertha's mussels, which is funnier if someone else reads it to you.

Just how hungry are you?

Fells Point is named after the Fells family. Some of the family is still there!

We went for a bike ride around the Inner Harbor, which meant we had plenty of good views of the harbor and some famous buildings.

Some of the newer waterfront homes had fancy fountains.

By the downtown is the Inner Harbor Water Wheel. The mechanism is designed to gather floating trash coming into the harbor from the Jones Falls Watershed. Jones Falls is a river that starts just north of the city. The water flows through town before hitting the harbor.

The day was lovely and we had some nice views. We only stopped a few times, so I only took a few pictures. Maybe I should get out the old GoPro for our biking adventures.

No boats!
