In August, I floated the idea of a Tour de Baltimore and many of my favourite places here. Because of logistical concerns, mainly the Baltimore Marathon, I will be hosting the tour on Saturday, October 17, 2009.
We will meet at Housewerks at 10:00 a.m. for coffee and a tour. From there, it’s a short 20-minute drive up-town to Deborah Dean’s fabulous shop, Gore-Dean. Deborah is such fun and has really fantastic things at the shop, which is located in an old mill building.
We will head back down the Falls Road to the village of Hampden, a kitschy funky neighbourhood filled with small shops. We will have lunch at Cafe Hon, where you can get a taste of the “real” Baltimore. We can spend some time checking out the shops, especially Red Tree, a terrific place to find one-of-a-kind furnishings for your home and garden.
Please either send me an e-mail or make a comment below if you’re interested in joining the group. Once I get a number, further logistics will follow.
Anyone in?
I am interested. Looks like I might not be able to attend a particular work convention thing after all. Will know more as the month unfolds. Think it is a great idea Meg!
ReplyDeleteI would love to come but I am going to be in Baltimore the week before!
ReplyDeleteA... are you coming to run the Marathon??? Seriously, let me know if you've got time and we'll do a little tour.
ReplyDeleteWe'll probably be up in the mountains mid-October, but it sounds like lots of fun. I'll make note of the places you go and check them out another time.
ReplyDeleteA great idea. I cannot make this trip, but hopefully I can hop on board for v. 2.0 or later.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it will be quite an excursion. Wish I lived closer. Let us know how it goes so we can join in virtually.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteLet me do a little thinking and
checking kids, hubbie's and my calendar and maybe I am in for this treat!
I'll let you know asap.
Coming from up here I have to make sure I'll make it back and forth in one day!

Dear Divine M: Ah, the places you haven't taken me to in Baltimore. (As usual, you're holding out....) This is the time to take advantage of the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteSign me up as a "tentative," giving me time to figure out what to do with G.
Sounds like a great trip.
