So we’re wandering around Fort McHenry, checking out all the huge cannons and some of the interior of the fort. The view across the water of the ships was pretty cool, and Tom mentions that he’s got this great place in mind for dinner. It’s about that time so we decide to jump in the car and head toward Tom's recommendation, called Kisling’s Tavern in the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore. We parked up the hill and the big black and white signs on the side of the building and the metal porch tables set up outside with condiments and umbrellas guide us down the hill to the large green front door. We walked right in and sat right down, and baby let our minds roll on. We had a great time talking to Dana our bartender and after ordering our first round and some food Tom and Joey both threw down our business card so that they were facing our friendly bartender. She took the hint and picked it up. I leaned forward and blurted out that this was day three of one hundred - that we were going to every state in the contiguous United States and that Baltimore was stop two on our journey. She got into the idea and asked us a few questions about what we were doing, how old we were, where we were from, that kind of thing.
In the bar there was a fridge with an assortment bumper stickers on it. While we were talking I got to looking around, and thought hey, I know where our bumper stickers are! I’m totally going to go grab one! I asked Dana if she thought it would be ok and she said she’d put it up and see what the managers thought. It may last a day, it may last a month, it may be there the next time we swing through Baltimore a few years down the line, but regardless, it was wicked sweet to see our bumper sticker on the wall while we were there! Thanks Dana!
To wrap it up the boys took a shot with her - I took pictures and drank my coffee - what a fun way to wrap up our day in Baltimore!
Until next time America.
