As you might have noticed, I have stopped posting on Pigtown*Design. After more than 12 years, and 2,156 posts, I felt like I was finished with the blog. When it became more of a chore than a joy, I decided that I would move on.
I am on Instagram, where I post images of all of the things that catch my attention, such as architecture, design, culture, travels and current events... all of the things that this blog was about!
My research is on the firm, Palmer and Lamdin, and the two men as individual architects. Their houses are quirky and unique with a European flair. They are responsible for the look of three inner suburbs of Baltimore, as well as houses in other neighbourhoods. I have set up a website to catalogue as many of their buildings as I can locate.
I want to thank you for all of your support over the years. You will never know how much I appreciated your readership, your comments, and your participation in the blog. It has been such a fun journey and I've gained more than I could ever have imagined when I started the blog after I returned from living in the UK.
Thank you so very much!
As they say, all good things must come to and end. The good news is that we can still follow along on your adventure on Instagram! Good luck with your new ventures. It has been so fun to follow along with you, your pups, your adventures abroad and your finds.
ReplyDeleteHello Meg, This is sad news indeed. I think that your blog was the first that I encountered, and I have enjoyed it all these years. Your activities are so wide-ranging, and always full of interest. If you stop, how will we get dependable news about the goings on in Baltimore?

While I understand that every life, even Pigtown's, has on arc to an ending, I will miss your blog and its sensibility. We never met, but we are friends. MJ Glass
ReplyDeleteThank you, Meg, for many wonderful years of love, laughter and inspiration! I have learned so much about your beautiful city and have enjoyed being an armchair traveler during your many trips. I follow you on Instagram as RabbitHillCottage and am thankful to continue the journey there, with your wicked humor, architectural education and sweet Figue posts. Looking forward to more goodness!
ReplyDeleteTotally understand how life gets in the way of blogging. It's a tough job, but you left your mark on the blogging world, and it was good. So glad we met at Reggie Darling's, and have happily followed you on Pinterest and Instagram. Best of luck in your new projects.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all the great work, and thank you for everything you've given us.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see people's blog posts gradually slowing down, from once-a-day, to once-a-week, to once-a-month, I fear this is what they will ultimately do, stop blogging altogether. But at least you're not quitting your web presence altogether, merely relocating to Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget the time you and Reggie and Boy and Emily met up for dinner at Keen's Chophouse and because I was in town at the time - and exactly what it was that took me out your way was - I can't recall - but I do remember that you had just picked up the cool lithograph of a Chinese pot that you had picked up at the framer's shop that day, and that we all got to see it, before you put it up here on your blog, a few days later.
I'm just sorry that it didn't occur to any of us that night that we should all sign the back of it, so you would have an actual tangible keepsake of the evening, not merely a pleasant memory.

Thank you for all your wonderful posts!
ReplyDeleteHello Meg, Just a reminder that your fans have another ray of hope to experience your unique work and vision--the MedChi Archive blog, which I hope you plan to continue:

Thank you so much for your wonderful blog. I'm already signed up for email updates from your new website. Imagine the smile on my face when I visited it and found your great post on Wawaset Park, right down the street from me and the home to many friends. Sorry we weren't around when you were in town. I'm a huge fan. Karen
ReplyDeleteJust 10 comments, well i suppose some readers thought you wouldn't read them. I for one learned a great deal about your city and I say thank you meg for being a blogger and sharing. I look at blogging and bloggers as an art form it is self expression and a form of service above self. It is as if you held a door open to a complete stranger entering or exiting the local Thrift shop. As An uncommon courtesy, your blog was something I would say many looked forward to, from your friend with the Emu to your auction finds. See you on instagram
ReplyDeletejudging by your photos it is a stunning house!
