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.

Baltimore’s weirdest clock tower spells out a headache cure in giant letters

You can spot the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower from blocks away in downtown Baltimore, and the first thing you notice is that the clock faces don’t have numbers. They spell out B-R-O-M-O S-E-L-T-Z-E-R in big white letters, one for each hour. The 289-foot tower has 15 floors of working...

After Leaving an Abusive Relationship, a Dundalk Author Turns Her Experience Into a Book

A protective order can provide legal recourse, but it cannot guarantee that abuse or stalking will stop. That distinction is part of Tameka Brown’s story: the Dundalk resident says she had an order after leaving an abusive relationship, yet her former partner continued to stalk her. Brown has written I’m Not Your Punching Bag about what she and her children experienced, hoping the book will encourage other survivors to seek help, according to the Dundalk Eagle.

Dundalk resident writes story about escaping domestic violence

Dundalk resident Tameka Brown experienced a marriage shaped by verbal abuse and fear. While she escaped domestic violence, she feels her experience can help others. That is why Brown has turned her story into a book. “Sharing my story can give another man or woman the encouragement to leave and to give them the courage to talk about it,” Brown said. “Turning it into a book, and a self-help book at that, just to let people know that they’re not alone.” Brown’s book, “I’m Not Your Punching Bag,” talks about the things both she and her children went through in a relationship defined by domestic violence, and the retaliation that ensued. When Brown left her relationship, the abuse did not stop. She was stalked. Her child was kidnapped from daycare. She was taken on a high-speed chase through Dundalk. “Me putting a plan together to leave my abuser was everything. But me leaving did not end the abuse; it still continued in many different ways,” Brown said. Brown got a protective order, but that did not stop the stalking and high-speed chase. After that, her abuser tried to manipulate the judge, Brown said. Once Brown explained how she already had
