On September 14, 1814 Francis Scott Key asked a question: “O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave?” 210 years later, the answer is still yes.

Baltimorean, American icon, and baseball's greatest star, Babe Ruth, died 76 years ago today. Today (and everyday) we celebrate the his historic legacy. Babe is the blueprint for so many modern athletes, and his contributions to the game and to our cultural identity is undeniable. Here's to you, Babe!

Babe's rosary, which he carried daily and was on his hospital bed post when he passed away, is on display at the museum.

Some excellent news from our friends at Visit Baltimore:

"The momentum continued into June, particularly on Saturday, June 15 when Baltimore celebrated Pride, Fleet Week and an Orioles win over the Phillies. Hotel occupancy soared above 94%, generating nearly $2 million in revenue. The Inner Harbor Promenade also saw an increase in visitors with more than 30,500 estimated guests."

Of course, we know most of the visitors on June 15 were there to see the Mobtown 5 perform!

So many cool lighthouses all over our great state! Thanks to the Washington Post video team and Maryland Department of Commerce for showcasing a few of them in this video. (and at 2:28 you can catch a cameo from yours truly!)

“You really can’t tell Baltimore and Maryland’s story without the water,” says Chris Riehl, owner of Rent-A-Tour. And you can’t really call it a trip to Maryland without experiencing the state’s water.

Today is my favorite day of the year. Our nation’s birthday. A day defined by parades, fireworks, and celebrations. A day that honors the fundamental ideals and founding principles of the United States. But more importantly, today we honor the people who embody those ideals. Because a nation isn’t land, or buildings, or documents, or monuments, or flags. A nation is people.

Our ideals were eloquently articulated in our founding documents and they have been reaffirmed throughout our history with soaring rhetoric, patriotic anthems, and inspirational symbols, but whether they truly live on or not depends on the actions, large and small, of our people.

“All men are created equal”

“Land of the free and the home of the brave”

“Of the people, by the people, for the people”

“Liberty and justice for all”

The words mean nothing without the actions required to back them up.

Sadly, we’ve fallen short on many occasions, and sometimes our actions have been in direct contrast with our ideals, but our story is still being written. What happens next is up to us.

Despite the enormous challenges we’re facing, let’s make today a reminder of those worthy founding principles, a celebration of what we’ve already acheived together, and a clarion call to do our part every single day to push us toward realizing those fundamental ideals and building a better future for all who call the United States of America home.

Happy 248th! 🇺🇸

Just shared a news story about a Fells Point restaurant owner “pausing” operations at his three locations, but I intended to share along with it the response to that story from another Fells Point business owner who had a much more constructive take. Despite breathless reporting from local media, crime is down in Baltimore and there’s so much to love! This past weekend was one of the best I’ve ever had! So don’t buy in to the negativity, visit Baltimore, and while you’re there stop by one of Patrick Russell’s fine establishments! Koopers and Sláinte Irish Pub

Great insight here from a visionary legend!

"This isn’t just about how you drive more people to the ballpark," Janet Marie-Smith said. "It’s how do you take the emotion of the game that has so many stories around it and such legacy..."
