Yesterday I had to make a quick stop to the touristy Inner Harbor, to go to a souvineer shop so I could get somebody a magnet for the TTWT magnet swap. ;-)
I usually take the back way in through South Baltimore/Federal Hill. I love that this old advert is still preserved on the side of this rowhouse. |
They installed this "Walter Sondheim" memorial interactive fountain very recently. It's meant for you to be able to walk through it and play in it, which is great in a hot and humid Bawlamore summer! I had to wait a minute to get this shot with no one in it.

A bunch of these boat tie-off pylons were painted funky colors and designs. That is also new this summer.
|
A pretty flaur (orange hibiscus), next to a Harborplace restaurant.
|
Creepy Mary statue in a window in South Baltimore. It reads "God Bless Our Home" on the bottom.
This was actually more a window in Federal Hill, which is pretty schmancy. One of the things I like about here, is no matter how gentrified a neighborhood gets, there will still be some old skool Bawlamoreans that remain to give it flava. ;-) |

Painting the tie-up stations is a great idea, lovely and bright and summery. Could have done with running through a fountain today myself!

In India they didn't have billboards but building advertising like the one you've got. I like it much better than ugly old billboards. It had not occurred to me that they existed in other places. I wonder how old it would be.
