Western Fries
Western fries appear to be a Baltimore-area thing. I couldn’t find anything about the origins and neither could this blogger who had lived here. They’re basically thick seasoned potato wedges, usually with the skin on.
Here are some examples:

Pizza I have had during the pandemic – Baltimore
I love pizza and have had some great ones here in Baltimore during the pandemic, I support local restaurants and haven’t ordered from the national chains. The best pizza I have had is from Two Boots, a small chain that used to have a location in Baltimore.
Macaroni and cheese pizza from Brick Oven Pizza (BOP):
Detroit style pizza (10″ x 14:) from Underground Pizza. They’re so thick that two or three slices are enough at one time. This one with nacho toppings is my favorite but has only been offered occasionally.

Clifton Mansion – Baltimore
The Clifton Mansion was built in the 1800s. It’s now part of a city park. The four photos are ones I took in the 1970s.

The return of Hammerjacks
The original Hammerjacks was a bar on South Charles St. It looked great – lots of exposed brick. However, it played loud hard rock and heavy metal music which is not my type of music. Then it moved to a huge old industrial building. Again, it looked great. They had concerts but mostly nothing I was interested in. I saw three shows there – Buddy Guy, Los Lobos, and the Kinks. The building was one of the ones demolished to make room for the Ravens stadium that opened in 1998. Attempts to revive it have failed but a new effort is coming.
Sad!
