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.

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

How I Celebrated My 40th Birthday by Shooting My $40K Movie ‘Spirit Tasting' in Four Days

Chris LaMartina is the writer-director of Spirit Tasting , which premieres Thursday at the historic Senator Theatre in his native Baltimore, and then embarks on a nationwide roadshow. In the piece below, the director of WNUF Halloween Special and more details how he made his latest feature under strict, self-imposed limitations. Can you shoot a good feature film in just four days? I think we did with my new movie, Spirit Tasting . In 2025, I celebrated my 40th birthday by making a feature film in just four days — because I'm a masochist. It's called Spirit Tasting , and it's a modern riff on the classic horror story “The Monkey's Paw,” set in a distillery on New Year's Eve. Now, four days isn't a long time to turn an 86-page script into a movie. So here’s how we did it. Number one : Make it a bottle movie. Company moves slow down production. We knew if we kept the action to one location, we could cut production hours. A “bottle movie” centers on one location, and we knew from the start that this project needed to be one. And since I love a pun, a bottle movie meant a

Artists & Makers Studios | Woodturning Demo with Montgomery County Woodturners

In this exhibit these two separate, traditional forms of artwork complement one another in their depictions of woodland meadows. After all, a meadow shows the hidden diversity within a forest when a tree has fallen, bringing forth a burst of flowers and smaller plants – providing quilters an opportunity to explore subject matter beyond trees. At the same time, the tree fall that creates such a meadow provides the wood that the wood-turning artists use to create their beautiful expressions of wonder.
