A Pikesville Icon...Fields!

A Pikesville Icon...Fields!

At one time most neighborhoods had a pharmacy and a lunch counter. Fields still has the cafe and we  recently enjoyed lunch sitting on a swivel stool at the counter.

The poster on the wall shows the building dating back to 1892.  One hundred twenty years is a long time to be in business. There must be a reason to sustain itself.

Maybe it the milkshakes made from real ice cream in the big stainless steel "glass", maybe it's the consistently good food or maybe it's the friendly service that we have come to expect.

Today Fields is best known for it's extensive makeup counter(the pharmacy is no more) and the homey cafe.

So easy to stop and grab bite, and most times  see someone you know sitting at the counter. If you lived in Colonial  Village at 7014 Deerfield Rd. Pikesville you could walk  to Fields and have an old fashioned cream soda with or without  lunch.

 

                                                        
                                                             


                                                                

My lunch special consisted of a half sandwich, cup of soup and a salad. There was plenty to eat, presented well, delicious and served by friendly wait staff. When I go back, I will probably order the same exact thing.

   

Fields is located at 1401 Reisterstown Rd. in the heart of Pikesville. They are also famous for  snowballs in Baltimore

A Snowball's Chance in... Baltimore

A  Snowball's Chance in... Baltimore

There are different types of  Snowballs ...especially in the Baltimore area. 

There are the winter ones like these that most people would like to forget.

There are the summer ones that are native to Baltimore. In fact many have never seen or heard of them. This is what a Baltimore snowball looks like. You can add marshmallow cream or soft serve ice cream in layers in this cup. I like them plain.

It's Ninety Degrees ...But There Are Snowballs in Baltimore.

It's ninety degrees...but there are snowballs in Baltimore..not this kind of snowball from last winter.

These snowballs grow on trees and bushes and produce some beautiful flowers with  colors ranging from white, to pink, to blue, to purple. I have heard of red but have not seen them. These bluish, purple or pink flowers add a color you don't normally see in the flower garden.

Another name for hydrangeas are snowballs, and we have some beauties in the Baltimore area. I snapped these photos at my Gardenview property   that is now under contract.
