BALTIMORE HARBOR SKYLINE

GOODBYE Baltimore. I'm heading back to North Carolina.

The Federal Hill skyline of Baltimore Inner Harbor. Aided in part by the destruction of the fire of 1904, the skyline has been ever changing.

I've learned a lot of history this week. The most prominent is that Baltimore was a working class city full of canning factories and played a heavy role in transportation in the days of sailing ships.
It's place in history will be forever enshrined by "The Star-Spangled Banner" the poem Francis Scott Key wrote about the bombardment of Fort McHenry (War of 1812) that would become the American national anthem more then a century later. A rich variety of local ethnic population still hold influence in the city.

There is a saying in Baltimore that crabs may be prepared in fifty ways and that all of them are good.
