This week we’re going to start off with Cool Hunting’s Baltimore: A Word of Mouth Guide (via Urban Revival), because it makes us happy to live in this city.
But we’re going to have to follow it up with this Christmas song (via the Baltimore Snacker), because it makes us so happy we’re delirious.

You’ve certainly heard them holler, and chances are you got a good deal on that apricot. For the first couple years I lived in Baltimore, I didn’t even know what they were called, and I suspected that the guys hawking fruits and vegetables from elaborate horse-drawn carts were part of an anachronistic MICA thesis project.

The national day-of-gratitude-cum-eating-contest happens only once a year, but the feelings of warmth and nebulous goodwill can last for months, or at least until the Christmas decorations go up.

Thanksgiving, our favorite food holiday, is right around the corner, and if you’re worried about the great pumpkin pie shortage of 2009, you might want to try Bmore Sweet’s Sweet Potato Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting. Yum!
Of course, not everyone feels like cooking on Thanksgiving. Thankfully plenty of local restaurants will be open, including [...]
