Last weekend before the flu attacked like whoa, we spent an awesome afternoon in Hampden, the “hipster hood” of Baltimore. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a winter-friendly stroll about a small town.

I love acclimating myself to a new city. And our “new” city is Baltimore. I’ve always loved Baltimore but have not taken the time to really get to know it until recently.

Things to love about the Baltimore Farmer’s Market: 1. There is easy parking available at the corner of E. Saratoga and Guilford Streets. (also many other spots around the block [...]
I love the work of the muralists of the Baltimore Love Project. Street art is something that I find so cool; it can bring alive a city that needs a little love while also reflecting the vibe and flavor of that individual neighborhood. Here are 2 of the murals in downtown Baltimore: I was recently [...]
