At Baltimore Comic-Con, I passed a woman cosplaying as Squirrel Girl. I said, "Aw yeah, Squirrel Girl!" as we passed each other...and she squeaked out the happiest chitter!

Wish I had a picture of her to share with you all... she was great! #comics #Baltimore

What better way to celebrate being back in #Baltimore than some amazing, local rye?

A Federal Judge has moved trial of disgraced former #Baltimore state's attorney Marilyn Mosby out of that city due to concerns of jury lack of impartiality. The trial will be split into 2, taking place in Greenbelt, and no Baltimore resident will be on the jury. Mosby will be tried on 2 perjury charges November 2, trial on mortgage fraud charges has yet to be scheduled https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-marilyn-mosby-trial-moved-20230908-wc3squ6awrgp5if7sflrftyfuy-story.html

I could have sworn this package got forwarded to #NewMexico, but it was here waiting for me in #Baltimore. 🤷‍♂️

Now I’ll have to open the package that did to go New Mexico, and see what it is!

Back in #Baltimore! 🦀

Our latest feature is out now! In “Becoming ‘The Monumental City’: The Story of #Baltimore’s Washington Monument,” we explore how Baltimoreans led the charge to build the first large-scale monument to President George Washington.

In my latest for @BaltimoreHistories, I explore how: "Enthusiastic Baltimoreans ensured that the first significant architectural monument in the United States would be built in Baltimore. It was also the first-planned monument to America’s first president." #Baltimore #PublicHistory #Memory #Monuments #Maryland

If anyone in the #baltimore area is interested, the #crisispregnancycenter across from Whole Women’s Health on Belair Rd must be doing well since it looks like they’ve recently moved into a larger building next door.
