Baltimore, MD

One of many purveyors of fried chicken at Lexington Market. Wes-sa-yeed (west side)!

These were apparently really tasty; I can't speak from experience, though. Note the Utz potato chips in background.

The USS Constellation is permanently docked at the Inner Harbor.

Art Car, AVAM (American Visionary Art Museum) style

These are just a few of many, many "vacants."

Baltimore's famous form stone is easy to maintain if a wee bit tacky. Here it is painted Ravens purple.

The burgeoning Latino population as shown by a strip of storefronts north of Fells Point.

Park Heights and Glen Ave, right in the middle of "La Rue de Shul": 20 synagogues in just a two mile radius in Northwest Baltimore/Baltimore County

This is where you get your kosher meats and groceries.

This is a unique throwback: gift shop, stationery/ school supply stockist, 60's era pharmacy and lunch counter all combine at Field's. I still go primarily for the delicious black and white milk shake, made from vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup.

Still can't believe you opted for fried chicken rather than Polock Johnny's.

Eastern Ave. on the Latino pop. shot?

Yeah, I know, I know. But the lure of fried chicken is always at least as strong as that of a sausage, for me anyway.

Oh, very good guess on the photo, but it was actually Broadway, a bit north of Eastern, I think.

These are all the very famous and popular restaurants in Baltimore, which are all very great in food specialties and quality as well as taste for sure.
