Five hours. Assuming you mean Newark, New Jersey.

You'll get about ten answers to this one, one from each woman.

East coast is 5 hours difference. It is now 6:05 pm, and I'm howling

In some places it is a mere 5 hours, in others you have to add (pick a number
of years) for the evolutionary scale. Where it really gets complicated is when
you are looking for the time separation of two places that are as backwards as
each other or a slight variation in backwardness.

I meant we are not all relatives of Jack Dempsey, which brings up
another question of mine. Why no discussions of boxing in SCI?

certainly. The policies instituted by Devalera have had the effect of placing
Dublin at the juncture of the late fifities and early sixties. Newark, on the
other hand, is firmly entrenched in the late seventies. Disco is King in that
town (the leisure suit is the men's chosen garb, which is a pretty ugly thing.
It does have its finer points, though, as a majority of the women are inclined
towards Danskins).

Lots of jokes about New Jersey, The Garden State, but it does have
the ocean, Cape May, Princeton, Rutgers, New York City nearby, direct
flights to Dublin, a great many insurance jobs, etc. Turned down a
relocation there
several years back and I'm still kicking myself. That's the last time I'll
put salary ahead of common sense. Anyway, my problem with New Jersey is
regarding the auto insurance industry. They have legislated themselves into
a self-destructive position by placing limitations on insurance company,
removing their ability to underwrite for a profit, and leaving no recourse
but withdrawal.
Consumer advocacy groups are much more active their and sometimes
don't know what the hell they are doing. What appears to be discrimination
is more a matter of statistical justification. But, the insurance industry
is
lobbying for a change, and I've bored ya enough with insurance talk. :)

On occasion, we all have this tendency to complain about things where we
live taking for granted what we have. Many years ago, my mother-in-law at
the time, hailing from Georgia and the father-in-law hailing from Long
Island pointed out that Maryland has everything-mountains, marshes, rivers,
the ocean,
sandy white beaches (well, sort of beige), the Chesapeake Bay (2000 miles of
shoreline), farms, the sandy eastern shore best for some produce and rich
soil in other places for the orchards. We even have our monster in the bay,
Chessie. Maryland always seems to have a little umbrella over it and misses
the really
bad weather as well. And, Baltimore City (like any big city) has it's
problems, but has come along way in the last 40 years. The Inner Harbor with
pubs, water taxis and paddle boats are quite nice. Sitting outside at
Phillips overlooking the harbor with a strawberry daiquiri or downing some
seafood and beer at Bertha's Mussels............ *sigh* I miss
civilization.

Other things in Baltimore that I love:

- The farmers markets. Lexington Market is still my favorite, even if
you have to run the bean pie gauntlet on the way in. You always hear
about Pike's Place Market in Seattle, but for variety of food and
prices it can't compare to Lexington Market. I thought Pike's Place
was a big old tourist trap. Of course, I've been going to Lexington
Market all my life, so I may be biased. Do you remember the big fish
market in the corner (Faidley's)? Pick out a fresh fish and have it
fried up into a spectacular sandwich as you watch? That wonderful raw
bar right in the middle? I'm salivating. How about Rheb's chocolates?
Do I ever love those! When I was a kid, we'd go up to Baltimore to go
shopping and if my sister and I behaved well, we'd get a nice
kielbasa/klobassy sandwich from Polock Johnny's. Put freshly ground
horseradish on it and you have a piece of greasy heaven right there.
The fruit and veg vendor's who's stacks seem to defy gravity. The
butchers who lay out their wares in the cases and make it actually look
pretty. Don't get me started about the delis. Hmmmmmm. Wonderful
place.

- Fells Point. The bars and pubs. The wonderful old houses. Bertha's
Mussels, as you point out, is heaven. There used to be a Thrasher's
French Fries there, too, but it closed. (nice little farmer's market
there, btw) The old Polish(-American) Catholic Church there is worth a
stop.

- Corned Beef Row. Jack's Corned Beef. Wonderful stacked high
sandwiches. Real pickles, the way God intended them, that you had to
fish out of a barrel with tongs.

- Little Italy. Sabatino's. Della Notte. Exceptional restaurants
almost everywhere you look. I remember during the riots in the 60's
when the head of the Baltimore Mafia guaranteed that women and children
would be safe walking on the street's of Little Italy.

- The Bromo Seltzer Tower. A quirky landmark for a city that embraces
eccentricity.

- The Aquarium. You didn't think I'd leave that out, did you?

- Edgar Alan Poe's grave with it's yearly cloaked visitor.

I could go on, but it may end up with me hopping in the car and driving
up the road.

IIRC, that's in the Inner Harbor area. I haven't been there, but it's
been getting very good reviews. Baltimore magazine gave it their "best
upscale restaurant" award a couple of times now.

Tell me how it is! Or better, invite me when you go.

Pike's Place is fun.....I can still see the look of sheer wonder on my kids
faces as these guys tossed a huge salmon to each other, practically over the

Yep. Smelly nasty place. I loved it. Maybe I'll get some oysters this
weekend
and fry them up. Hmmmmmmmm.....wait a minute. It's May. My favorite is
lobster stuffed with crab meat, but I won't attempt it out here. Pasteurized
crab meat in a can just doesn't cut it.

How about Rheb's chocolates?
> Do I ever love those!

Germans making chocolate in Baltimore is quite common. They are the
best. Lived next door to the Wockenfuss family back a few years ago. Didn't
help my waistline any. My favorite are the "Turtles"-dark chocolate and
pecans. :)

One of my favorite places. Don't forget BOP (Brick Oven Pizza) across the
street and the 7 cheese pizza.

I'm trying to remember the name of a place there. "Dimimo's"?
Small family place.

They still are (I imagine), safe that is.

Very nice place to visit. Right on the Inner Harbor.

And the flowers left on his grave on his birthday.

It appears the new mayor (as of 1999) has done a good
job of cleaning up the crime problem in Baltimore. Kurt Smoke was
a bum. Wasn't he found stealing housing money?

05/01

"Last year, the homicide rate fell under 300 for the first time in over a
decade and Baltimore led the nation in reducing murders during the last half
of 2000. Since last year, overall violent crime has been slashed by 19% and
murders are down by 24%. In East Baltimore, the community hardest hit by
crime, murders are down 41%, shootings are down 44% and violent crime is
down 24%. Today citizens and neighbors can walk through their communities
without fear from drug violence for the first time in years. And the
momentum continues."

"Mayor O'Malley, a graduate of Catholic University and the University of
Maryland School of Law, is a member of the Maryland Bar Association.

Mayor Martin O'Malley and his wife Katie Curran O'Malley live in Baltimore's
Beverly Hills community with their two daughters, Grace and Tara, and son
William. They are members of St. Francis of Assisi Church."

Those darn Irish-Americans. :)

Nice to know. I believe it is an aggy college somewhere in Ohio.
