a piece of home

Having grown up in Baltimore, these pieces offer a flavor of the city and a reminder of what makes Baltimore special and ... well, unusual. Here we find Gertrude Stein, Al Capone, Dorothy Parker, ice cream and candy makers, cemetary tour guides, and a host of other residents and passers-through, all unique, and some a bit off-the-beam. We visit some great Baltimore places--including my favorite site in Charm City--the Great Blacks in Wax Museum. And we get it all through the eyes of a trio of fine writers, Baltimore characters themselves, bringing to life not just the history, the people, places, and things of Baltimore, but the very voice of the city. It surely is The Land of Pleasant Living. Thanks, hun.

Engrossing!

Even if you're not from Baltimore, you'll be fascinated by these short anecdotes. The authors bring to life a variety of odd characters, old structures, and out-of-the-way places. The stories are by turns funny, tragic, and nostalgic... and always interesting.
