Hilarious no?

I have to disagree. Speaking from personal experience and I am 100% positive I’m not the only one.

WOW!!!! I’ve got a framed drawing just like this I Inherited from my Grandfather in the 90s. He was an architect. He wouldn’t have been responsible for the plans above, but he may have been part of it, which would explain why he had a similar drawing. Well, it’s actually more of a sketch.
ANYWAY
You can see his work in multiple various areas of Baltimore, but most notably his contribution to the building of the Towson Library. Which he forced my Mother to promise him, that she would never take us kids into…. because the construction company installed the support beams upside down and by the time anyone noticed, it was too late to start over again.
He was convinced it would eventually collapse, yet there it still stands. Decades and decades later.
This is super cool thanks so much for sharing and triggering some old memories for me!!

Reply to comment by gothaggis in What the hell happened to BOP in Fells Point? by TylerFL
It used to be amazing. Back in the late 90s/early 2000s I lived on Bond street 4 doors down from what used to be Fletchers, right down from HS bakery with BOP just around the corner and the smells…..
My god it’s a miracle I didn’t gorge myself to death on baked dough products during that time. 24 hours a day.
Anyway i basically lived on BOP pizza because it meant I didn’t have to cook after a 14 hour shift at Hard Rock Cafe. It was cheap and it was AMAZEBALLS. Like 5 bucks a cheese pie cheap.
Maybe that price was because I lived in Fells and bought from them like every other day? The fancier pizza offerings were considerably more expensive at 10-12 bucks a pop. Whatever the case when I finally moved out of the city I didn’t hit up BOP for a few years. Last time I went? I wanna say it was around 2013-2014? I think?
SUPREMELY disappointed. The prices hadn’t changed too much a bit higher obviously, but the pizza? Was inedible. Just a basic cheese pie and somehow they managed to mess it up worse than a teenager tripping balls working at a Little Caesers.
The dough was undercooked to the point of being mushy. The sauce was hyper sweet and there was too much of it. The cheese was rank and there was too little of it. I just assumed they got bought out by whomever like every other decent pizza place in Baltimore that now sucks.
So I never went back. You can get an excellent slice right up Thames street (same side of the street as BOP) at this little hole in the wall place. I forget the name of the place atm but it’s that tiny pizza/sub shop right on a Thames above Aliceanna st but before Eastern ave.
Crispy base, fantastic fluffy edge crust, sauce is perfection and the cheese is abundant. And it it’s CHEAP. All that being said?
If you can stomach haggis? BOP pizza should be a breeze for you!

Milady Origins eh? So they’ll all be wearing Fedoras instead of Cavaliers and carrying Samurai Swords from the local mall then?

Reply to are mainstream films worth watching? by Phinlee_Bruv
Movies are meant to be entertainment. If you’re seeing polarized political views in a plot that centers around absolute fantasy? In a world that couldn’t possibly exist?
You’re projecting.
Edit: and for the record? The Lord of The Rings trilogy? Not bad. Not as good as the books, but also not bad. I prefer the directors cut of all three.
I also like all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, but I’m biased in that regard.
