Stay-cation in Baltimore...Is It Right For You?

Stay-cation...Is It Right For You?

My recent post Jump in..the Water's Fine! Vacationing in Baltimore, received this comment from a wonderful member Christine O'Shea, a Broker in Naples, Florida:
                                               
''Ahhh, nothing like a "stay-cation" Baltimore style...''  You don't have to forgo a vacation this year. Just rename it..a ''stay-cation".

Think of the economy if we all encouraged Stay-cations. We could help our local business community while saving on gas, reduce the stress of traveling, no lines at the airport, no lodging costs and NO PACKING !!  With no travel time...you have more time for vacation and fun.

This might not be right for everyone...but it just might be right for you!
There is so much to do in our own Baltimore and surrounding areas... and there is no need for all those maps and directions.

One part of your stay-cation, could be a tour of Baltimore. And I have the perfect person for you to contact.

Named by City Paper as "The most entertaining senior citizen on the planet" my friend Zippy Larson,  gives tours  in Baltimore and loves to share her wealth of knowledge. Zippy give talks about historic Fell's Point, Little Italy & Locust Point.. These talks are part of her tour and here are few tidbits Zippy shared about her sample tours.

''-Folks in Locust Point walked to work at the sugar and soap factories. If they could not pay the mortgage, the savings and loan carried them without penalty until they got on their feet.    

-The Spaghetti Bowl  - In Little Italy, east of the inner harbor, see sallyports, coal holes, formstone and painted screens

 -Wallis Warfield Simpson grew up in Mt. Vernon, played in the parks, went to school and grew up to dance on the world stage, then returned as a Duchess with her Prince.

 -Fell's Point's Greek belly dancers charmed merchant seamen on shore leave and student nurses from Johns Hopkins with their dates.''

I promise you will  enjoy and learn more about Baltimore.
At the same time you will continue to enjoy your Stay-cation!
