- Michael AWinnabow, NC133 contributionsOn 09/13/2024 Birdland rocked to the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. 42,000 fans ascended into Rock and Roll infamy to watch the greatest band ever to perform a concert. 29 songs and a three hour plus show certainly kept the energy going for the fans. The only negative was the sixty dollar price tag on the souvenir t-shirts. The show was well worth the money.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Bill BBel Air, MD19,184 contributionsWe were lucky to find a parking spot on the square of Fells Point at the end of Broadway. The area was lively with people enjoying the shops, graduates of a local university taking photos, and several groups in Wizard of Oz costumes. Even the dogs that were being walked seemed to sense that this is a special place. The bright sun on the water accentuated sailboats and the surrounding historical buildings.Written May 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kendall K1,159 contributionsTook a walk to The Walter’s and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of this art museum. Right around the corner from Baltimore’s Washington Monument this museum has a modest collection of art from all over the world. It’s free to enter and donations are appreciated. Great place to go for the art lovers and those just exploring the area.Written July 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael AWinnabow, NC133 contributionsWifey and I spent a few hours at the Horseshoe this past Friday morning. The slots were not very loose but we had a good time and felt safe in this location. As out of towners, locals had advised us to catch an Uber or Taxi due to the high crime level near the stadium. Thus, we took an Uber and were dropped off just outside of the entrance. There was a Dunkin’ Donuts located in the casino and the coffee and snacks were reasonably priced. Sadly, there were no waiters or waitresses providing refreshments in the casino and we probably would not return due to the fact it wasn’t very welcoming.Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NetlavaBel Air, MD88 contributionsFour beautiful falls to see along with other scenic views. Trail was rough at parts. Fine for kids but older people may have some issues. We went toward Tolliver Falls to start, but if you are doing the full loop with older people, heading toward Muddy Creek Falls first may put some of the rougher parts either downhill or close enough to an exit path that you can change your mind.Written August 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
