Thanks all for your comments. Lived in Balto til I was 20, then the military came calling and I then lived around the world (Japan, UK, Middle East). I went to school in the inner city, roamed around "The Block" in my youth, my dad was a fireman on a fireboat in the harbor. Of course, I have watched the Wire many times, I can probably tell you some back stories. I'll have to post some images from Fell's Point. Dan, if you go there, get a drink at Eat Bertha's Mussels, an Irish pub there, near Lil Italy. Me, I go for the crabs.
I now live in Colorado but every few years we make what we call "the Loop", usually dipping down into the south heading east, always up the Chesapeake Peninsula (family history) and around to Baltimore, then home. Covid has kinda screwed that up but we are planning the next loop.
Yeah I went to Towson St(drafted right out in 1966),seems the Uncle Sam got many of us that year despite exemptions.... Dwight Schultz and John Glover were my dorm-mates,,,, and taught at Dunbar HS for 1 year!! That was enough brother!!!!! Know "the Block" VERY well and Blaze Starr was known to me.
Lived in Gardenville many years and ate at Berthas's many times!
Used to eat on the Harbor at Connolly's!!
