At some point in the last few years I’ve stopped going up to Baltimore very often. Now it’s probably been over a year since I was there other than for work. That’s a pity, since I think the name “charm city” is well deserved and there’s a number of nice things to do there.
One of my favorite not-quite-a-getaways, pre-Nationals, was catching the MARC up to Baltimore for $5 and taking the light rail down to Camden Yards. The only downside I found to that plan was the delay between light rail departures; if I was off by a few minutes I could find myself waiting close to a half-hour.
Well, they’ve added a third circulator line that would solve that problem for me and save me the light rail fee at the same time: it runs every 10 minutes and is free. It stops a few blocks east, by the Harbor rather than Camden, but hey – I’ve got the Nats now.
Who wants to go to the Aquarium?
Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
