Maisy’s is what Downtown Baltimore or what a downtown in general feels like. I prefer the latter, because it reminds me of a part of any city, that truly feels like a city. Baltimore has a lot of neighborhoods within it, yet it does have parts that seem like there’s lots of action. This particular […]
I’ll be the first to say it, but I’m really not. I don’t care for winter. I don’t get the excitement that others do, and I don’t think I ever will. I respect everyone’s view and feeling about it, but it’s not for me. Maybe it’s past memories, when I was a kid and maybe […]
I’m writing this as I watch the unofficial first day of coverage of the Winter Olympics, so please bare with me, I’m a bit excited. I wanted on the eve (or day of depending on where you are and when you read this) of National Pizza Day, for this story to be inspiring, remarkable, heartwarming, […]
There’s an infatuation and obsession (wait, isn’t that the same thing), with this need to always achieve five stars, or as close to it as possible. For those in the service industry, it’s five stars or bust. Anything else is viewed as a failure. And even if the folks doing the ratings think a four […]
This one of those stories that reminds us why this life is an amazing ride. It’s a roller coaster alright. There’s lots of twists, turns, and all those other events that remind me us that everything is right with the world, and it can a magical place, if you let it. If you let yourself […]
I’m not sure what to make of this. I took the title off of the window display of this weeks recap, Piazza 27. Until three days ago I hadn’t heard a thing about it. But you know how thing are, you hear about an entity once, you constantly hear about it as it gains momentum […]
You know, the first time I set food into R. House in the up-and-coming (eek!) Remington neighborhood in Baltimore, I thought was wonderful. On the outside looking it, I could see why people could sense stuffy, hipster, unapproachable, and uninviting. Now everyone has an opinion, and I wouldn’t question why folks would think that way. I […]
Sometimes life works out, the planets and stars align, and the universe does look out for you. It looks out for us in more ways than we realize. We might not always see it. I know I don’t always see it. And even with all the good that is about to transpire this weekend, I […]
When I told a dear friend yesterday that I would be writing about Amy’s Kitchen Pizza this week, she was so excited and so happy. She sounded happy for me too. It’s because her and her husband were the ones who introduced me to their pizzas a few years ago. I must thank them so […]
For months I’ve wanted to go to Joe Benny’s. Circumstances have presented themselves that it wasn’t supposed to happen just yet. Either because I came after hours (I find their schedule endearing and down-to-earth), or on days they weren’t open (they’re closed Mondays). It just wasn’t meant to be, for that time. I have so […]
