Reptile House in Druid Hill Park

On August 5, 1948, Mayor Thomas D’Alessandro and other Baltimore City dignitaries came by motorcade to Druid Hill Park for the official opening of the Baltimore Zoo’s new Reptile House. They entered an oval room with a shallow, tile-lined pool at its center where small alligators and turtles swam. Set into the walls of the room were brightly lit tanks containing an eye-popping array of local and exotic snakes, lizards, and amphibians. Artists employed by the City’s Bureau of Parks had painted woodland, desert, or swamp scenes inside each tank to mimic the natural habitats of the occupants.

Locals Swear The Crab Cakes At This Unassuming Maryland Spot Have Been The Best In The State For Decades

One seafood counter claims to serve more than one million oysters and clams every single year. Somehow, the crab cakes there still steal most of the attention. The jumbo lump version is packed with big, sweet pieces of blue crab and very little filler. It’s the kind of crab cake that has travelers rearranging entire road trips around one lunch stop.

Marker dedication to honor onetime fixture in Glen Rock community

Every year, Jon Nicklow pages back through Glen Rock’s long story to find an anniversary to celebrate. And every year, that anniversary is remembered in bronze. A memorial to the borough’s Community Recreation Building rose to the top of the Glen Rock Historic Preservation Society’s list this year. The Baltimore Street building opened in 1926, though it did not live to celebrate its century birthday. The building, bad roof and all, was demolished in 2010. But memories remain — a host of them. It served as the Glen Rock High School gym, Borough Hall, police headquarters, the Glen Rock Carolers hall, site of countless community dinners and much more. “If you grew up in town,” Nicklow of the Historic Preservation Society said, “you definitely knew where it was.” At one point, the building was expanded to cover the family home of prominent residents Jim and Mark Kroh. Part of the Kroh residence later served as a kitchen for the community building. “Jim would say,” Nicklow recalled, “that he was born under the kitchen sink.” A Glen Rock building does not have to stand to gain a plaque. So the old building will receive its marker — a $3,000 investment in
