January 17th- pictures in and around Fells Point
2009.01.17
I took the day off work yesterday to get a few things done, one of them being, get a haircut. I didn't go to this olde timey barbershop, though.
I did go to a place on the same street as this barbershop and passed it going from my car to tenpachi http://www.tenpachisalons.com/ for a trim. |
Here's East Baltimore meets Mexican. A tortilleria in a formstone covered rowhouse ;-).
|
Met my friend Liz and her daughter at the Broadway Market for lunch. Sadly, many of the vendors inside have closed up shop, but Theresa's lunch counter keeps on plugging. Nothin' fancy there, but soups and salads are home made.
|
Liz's daughter Marin loved this singing deer head "Buck". It sang Elvis tunes and "Sweet Home Alabama" all through our lunch.
|
Marin giving "Buck" a little peck.
|
Mmmmm, home made Maryland crab soup.
(Liz and I both had colds, so no pictures of us with our red noses, sorry ;-) ) |
Liz and I split one of their famous home made shrimp salad sanwiches.
|
"Coddies" are a Bawlamore thing. They used to sell them in neighborhood bars and such. It's basically a little fried fish patty/cake type thing you eat between 2 saltines with a little yellow mustard.
(It's considered a snack.) |
I've always loved the name of this little bar. It's just called "Bar".

Thames Street looking west.

This is the old Rec Pier. You may know it as the police precinct building in the TV series "Homicide, Life on the Street", OR as the Performing Arts High School building in the movie "Step Up"

Hey MizB, thanks for a tour of a lovely part of your town. What are ''coddies''?

Hey soul- I think you posted while I was writing in my captions. A coddie is a Baltimore thing- a bar snack that basically a little fried fish cake (see caption above).

That singing deer is wonderfully tacky!

Crab soup--you'd think with all of the King and Dungeness crab we have near Seattle that you'd see it around here but I've never heard of it.

Crab soup and coddies both sound great.
