Well,
there are just topics that don't fit too neatly in the other sections,
and to avoid balooning the site into including sections devoted to
parks, fire apparatus, and other curious novelties, I offer them here
in a compact assortment of pages that detail a wide range of things not
covered by the other sections. Certainly a great deal to enjoy,
which I hope you do.

Forget
Six Flags. Back in the day, Baltimoreans knew how to have a good

nearest streetcar line.

First
things first, obey your thirst. So went the tagline of Sprite's

access to a number of springs to quench the summer thirst.

of its existence. Journey into West Baltimore for a look at this
novel gem.

 |
After
doing some rather extensive searching, I've come across a decent number
of these 1976 vintage "soldiers" remaining in service for Baltimore
City.
|

|
A
fort which you will likely never see mentioned in ANY history book,
Fort Crimea was an elaborate structure of a most unique military
purpose, the art of deception.

There
are few who do not get fascinated by old "Then and Now"
comparisons. I have to include myself in that company, and took a
stab at trying my own "Then and Now" project.

A
Special Bonus to B-More Ghosts. This page takes an introductory
look at the ever famous Mason Dixon Markers, and explores the state of
their preservation today.

Ever
feel like you "weren't in Kansas anymore." It happens in a number
of spots in Baltimore, as one feels moved to a new area or a former
time. A novel look at some of these spots.

I
try to include everything I can find, but there are things that just
seem to lack the depth to get their own page. If its obscure and
eccentric, you just may find it here on this page.
|
 |
Naturally,
