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.

Cracking the shell of OysterFest

ST. MICHAELS — The sun was shining and the oysters were freshly shucked Saturday at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum for the annual OysterFest. Near the end of the day, local water and oystermen sold out of oysters, which Vice President of Engagement at Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum Shannon Mitchell said is the “ideal outcome.” Roughly 3,500 attendees came out for the event. “It was a fantastic day. Well, for one, we couldn’t have asked for better weather,” Mitchell said. “Attendance was wonderful.” The festival aims to support watermen, educational programs and the organization’s exhibits, including its historic floating fleet. It also raises funds for the Talbot Watermen Association and its initiatives through a partnership in which the association serves as the festival’s primary oyster provider. “This event in particular is one that is very mission-driven for the organization,” Mitchell said. “It truly supports what we’re all about. If we wanted to sum it up of our entire mission of the organization, this is that mission kind of in action.” Beyond oysters, the event featured educational programming, Chesapeake Retrievers and rides aboard historic vessels, including the “Rosie Parks”. These activities let visitors experience the festival on land and from the

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

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.
