 Art from other worlds |
800 Key Highway Baltimore, MD 21230 United States +1 410 244 1900 http://www.avam.org |
'Visionary' is a term used to describe art that is created by people who use ordinary media to express their own intensely personal ideas about life. This museum has assembled a wonderful collection of this very Visionary art. Since Visionary artists generally lack formal training, and work outside of established art traditions, their works are as bold, innovative and inspirational as the visions that spawned them. Admission: USD11 Adults, USD7 Students and seniors, USD6 per person for groups of ten or more. Children under four years of age and under are free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This small, quiet, waterside park will never rival the Inner Harbor as a tourist attraction, but some consider this a bit of good fortune, especially those tourists (and locals) who discover it for themselves.

Sailboats, freighters, and tugs glide by. People fish, frolic, and picnic. Sit on the dock, enjoy the sea breeze and relax. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Friendly, funky diner |
227 West 29th Street Baltimore, MD 21211 United States +1 410 889 4444 http://www.papermoondiner24.com/ |
This small, somewhat eccentric café is a local favorite. The décor is certainly part of the café's charm- bright primary colors abound, the thrift store furniture is mismatched; mannequins, dolls and other toys decorate the window sills, walls, and even the ceiling. But it's the food that keeps the locals coming back. It's a terrific blend of traditional home cooking and lighter vegetarian fare. The French toast (served all day) is one of the city's treasures.

Study animals and plants |
225 Holliday Street Baltimore, MD 21202-4523 United States +1 410 396 1149 |
Built in 1814 by Charles Wilson Peale, one of the first American painters to achieve a place of distinction in the fine arts, the Peale Museum features a collection of 40 Peale family portraits and houses several natural history displays. Peale's collection of specimens gave scientists and visitors the opportunity to study animals and plants outside their natural environment. This museum was the first to display the complete skeleton of a mastodon. It is still standing today. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Located in the historic Jonestown, the 234 feet tall brick tower was, at one time the tallest structure in the country. The tower was designed by Jacob Wolfe and was functional between 1828 and 1892. It was used to make shot balls of lead, which were required in firearms. In 1972, it was declared as a national historic landmark. Come and have a look at this interesting structure, the walls of which are 4.5 feet thick! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Maryland's goodwill ambassador to the world was modeled after the Baltimore clippers, the topsail schooners that helped America win the War of 1812. Since its launch in 1988, the 173-foot vessel has represented Maryland in 44 countries. The Pride has sailed more than 180,000 miles and played host to some 500,000 visitors. If you're lucky enough to be in Baltimore when the Pride is in port, take a tour of the vessel or stay on board overnight and sail with the crew. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Miles of varied hiking trails |
Falls Road at Lakeside Drive Baltimore, MD 21210 United States +1 410 396 7931 |
This large piece of wilderness (over 450 acres) offers miles of trails for hiking and jogging. One of the main trails circumscribes Lake Roland, which was once one of the city's main reservoirs. Other trails reach back into densely forested areas, some taking you over scenic footbridges and others through small tunnels. The only caveat is that the park is a popular destination for dog walkers, and the less rugged trails are often crowded. Otherwise, it's a great urban escape. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Perpetual Novena Services |
512 West Saratoga Street Baltimore, MD United States +1 410 685 6026 http://www.stjudeshrine.org/ |
Entrusted to the Pallottine Priests and Brothers by the Archbishop of Baltimore in 1917, the St. Jude Shrine is the center of St. Jude Devotions in the United States. St. Jude Thaddeus has been dubbed "The Forgotten Saint" due to the actions of Judas Iscariot, the betrayer of Jesus. Unlike Judas Iscariot, St. Jude Thaddeus died a martyr and his remains are in the great basilica of St. Peter in Rome. He is considered the patron saint for those in dire need. After an increase of St. Jude Devotions following WWII, the Pallottines established regular novena services to honor the saint which take place every Wed. The popularity of the shrine has skyrocketed, attracting both local and nationwide parishioners. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beautiful place of worship |

At the behest of the Ecclesiological Society, St. Lukes Church was established in the year 1857. You'll find the influence of Gothic architecture in the structure, as the society believed that worship was conducive only in such an environment. The first service began in November 1853. Since then this place has continued to be the venue for Episcopal meetings. If not, the service people do come to admire the beautiful features such as the tower, lancet and rose windows, buttresses and quatrefoil tracery. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Good ol' church |

Established in the year 1841, this Georgian-style church attracts the pious as well as the tourists. Its significance lies in the fact that it is the oldest Catholic Church in Baltimore. This neo-classical structure was originally built with red bricks but then was painted white to give that finished effect. The interiors have been through a series of renovations, the exteriors, however, have remained the same since centuries. Don't forget to tour around after mass hours. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This unique museum was established as the U.S. Army's repository for captured and prototype weapons. The main building houses thousands of small arms, but what makes the museum worth the trip to Aberdeen are the more than 200 tanks that cover over 25 acres. The long, long rows of these massive and extremely dangerous machines is truly awe inspiring. Also on display are a variety of missiles, a German railroad cannon from World War II and the U.S. Army's own 'atomic cannon.' Review © 2007, Wcities |

Haunting burial site of Edgar Allen Poe |
519 West Fayette Steet Baltimore, MD 21201 United States +1 410 706 2072 |
This beautiful stone building is unique for its graves, which were filled in the early 1800s, long before the church hall above them was built. Edgar Allen Poe, Baltimore's founding fathers and four mayors are among those buried here. In the mid-1800s, a swelling population prompted construction of Westminster Hall. To avoid disturbing the graves, the building was set on a series of brick piers over the tombs, creating catacombs. Review © 2007, Wcities |
