Theadora | Tales and Travels of the Tinman

You have heard Tin Man speak of his love many times…….

When Tin Man started his blog one of his first followers was Virginia…a friendship blossomed….

In the Spring of 2014 Tin Man rode a train across the entire country of Canada and ended the journey by spending the day with Virginia and the Good Husband…

You can read about that trip HERE

This time The Tin Man was able to spend three delicious days with Virginia and The Good Husband..

Virginia’s home is Paris….

We had a delightful time on the front patio, surrounded by beautiful flowers…….

sipping bubbly, noshing and waving to the neighbors as they drove by…..

Then one day ………off to the beach we went…..

…but first …..the red lipstick from Theadora of Paris: People, Places and Bling…to match the cute red handbag also from Theadora….

Our Theadora, as she has become to known, lives in Paris and is another blogger who has become part of the family…

Off to a friend’s home for an evening party….

Magic and Delight abound when one is in the presence of Virginia….

Of course……..culinary delights abound…..Aromatic, Marvelous Chicken Curry…..Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Sauce…..Cheese Puffs…..oh swoon….

Of course these delights are picked fresh from the garden………

The Back Porch is the perfect place to take an afternoon nap or enjoy a good book….

A pleasant evening of companionship and conversation….

The Good Husband builds model Ships….intricate and amazing work….

Forever the beautiful ambiance and culinary delights….

Three Days of Pure Delight….Tin Man rested in the lap of Buddha receiving blessings for the journey home…

Fell’s Point is a neighborhood in Baltimore, Maryland, and home to a variety of shops, restaurants, coffee bars, music stores, and over 120 pubs. Located on the harbor and famous for its maritime past, it now boasts the greatest concentration of pubs/bars in the city. The pubs and bars in Fell’s Point provide excellent entertainment and nightlife. This waterfront community is a much-visited location in Baltimore. The neighborhood has also been the home of large Polish and Irish populations throughout its history. In recent years a steadily increasing numbers of middle to upper middle-income residents have moved into the area, driving up property values. Fell’s Point is one of several areas in and around Baltimore that are listed on the National Register of Historic Districts, and the first from Maryland.

In 1965, transit planners proposed to link Interstate 83|I-83 and Interstate 95 in Maryland|I-95 by building an elevated highway along the north shore of the Baltimore harbor. This project would have entailed extensive demolition within Fell’s Point, and the highway would have cut off the remainder of the neighborhood from the waterfront. A revolt against the proposals was raised by local residents and derailed the project. Fell’s Point’s addition to the National Register of Historic Places prevented the use of federal funds for the road project, and contributed to the project’s cancellation.

One of the leaders of the revolt was Barbara Mikulski, who would go on to become a U.S. Senator. We had the great pleasure of visiting with her at the Greek Festival in Baltimore recently.

We love Fell’s Point and are so grateful to the marvelous Barbara for saving the place from becoming a highway!

We found Fell’s Point from the Most Incredible Theadora whose blog is called People, Places and Bling!

Now, every visit to Baltimore includes a day in Fell’s Point.
