I love Baltimore, and I really like Pimlico. This was my second visit, and the other time, the place was deserted. But there’s an amazing little museum of the place in the clubhouse, it’s clean, with great places to watch races. I don’t get why people hate the place so much.

Your fresh perspective is so welcome! I get tired of hearing the ol’ chant, “Pimlico’s a dump”, or “The Preakness Infield is rife with drunken buffoons, ” and so on. It appears so wholesome and wonderful [at least here, on your blog]!

BTW, here’s an interesting tidbit … when the NBC Talking Heads were on the TV, the set was decorated with bunches of sunflowers, not Black-eyed Susans! Admittedly, maybe it’s a little early for the the dainty yellow flower, but couldn’t they have at least done a better job faking it??

I spent a good many hours in the Cat’s Eye when I lived in Baltimore. No time on this trip, unfortunately, to make it to Fells Point.

I didn’t see anyone going to the Fast Money Center…but I might give it a shot next time!

We should have called you. Kathy and I (me?) had a blast at the races on Saturday, and spent most of Sunday at the Cat’s Eye Pub and Shucker’s in Fells Point. Met a lot of nice people (as we always do). 14 straight Preakness weekends. I told anyone that would listen to bet Lucky over all the bombs. I hope they did; I didn’t. Oh well. Par for the course!

Fast Money Center

What’s that all about?

You mean people down in Ball’more actually have the nerve
go up to human beings and confess that they’ve “tapped out” after the 4th race ?
