Philly, there’s nothing in Philly, but Mortville, the home of John Waters, now that is one twisted city!

@ Dudley. I’ve been to First Unitarian, Baltimore before. For this trip, our train arrived after the Sunday service so I didn’t try to steer Hubby inside. (I like the ministers.) We did stay near it and had to have walked within a block of it a dozen times.

When you went to Baltimore, did you visit the First Unitarian Church where William Channing gave his 1819 sermon on “Unitarian Christianity”?

DJ and I took a day trip to Philadelphia last week. Huzzah for underappreciated cities!

I love Baltimore. Growing up in DC as a pre-Nationals O’s fan, we mostly just went to Camden Yards and the nice renovated waterfront part of the city, but the rest of it is great, too, in a less contrived and wholesome sort of way.

One quibble: Poe died and is buried in Baltimore, but he was born in Boston. He came South when his parents died and were taken in by some folks (relatives, I believe) in Richmond, VA.

Funny, we liked Baltimore better than Philadelphia, though we didn’t expect that.

When I think of underappreciated American cities, I have to nominate Chicago first and then Philadelphia. Baltimore doesn’t really rate for me, but I’m glad you had fun. Moo…xxx
