Yesterday, DH & I went to the Baltimore Museum of Industry. It was a lot of fun and we both would recommend it to anyone sightseeing in Baltimore. With your AAA card, you can get a buy-one-get-one-free deal on admission tickets. The BMI has great exhibits showing the numerous and varied products and services that were being produced in Baltimore in the 1800's and early 1900's. I particularly liked the period grocery store (you can walk through!) complete with an antique swinging screen door! Other exhibits you can enter include an early bakery, a printer's shop, a clothing factory, a machine shop, a canning factory, a pharmacy, a bank, an appliance repair shop, and a garage filled with an interesting variety of vehicles. There are many neon signs on display. There is even a small but fancy theater with movies about The Wire TV show. There are also several displays with props from the show.
Additionally, there are a few free outdoor exhibits including a crane from Bethlehem Steel with a impressively huge American flag hanging from it.
Later, we walked to Catonsville Gourmet for a delicious early dinner. Then we stopped at the new ice cream place and ate our cones while we walked home.
Later, the dog & I had a pleasant summer evening walk.
Photos will be posted shortly on my personal Flickr site.
sounds like this was a perfect day! How was the food at Catonsville Gourmet? I drove past it a few weeks ago but haven't called to see if they offer any g-f dishes. Was it good?
ReplyDeleteWe like the CG, but don't make it a regular thing due to the prices. We enjoy walking up to the local restaurants; there are so many to choose from nowadays. Catonsville is a great place to live.
