Home and Homicide
Aug. 26th, 2007 09:38 pmI'm home. My train was actually later than I thought. None of Amtrak's computers were working, so I couldn't change it if I wanted to.
As promised, I've uploaded the few good photos from last year's dreadful batch of Baltimore trip photos. I don't know whether the focus was that bad or what, but I've never seen such a bad group of photos before. If you're at familiar with the series "Homicide: Life on the Street", you'll know this building: Recreation Pier at Fell's Point. The Pier served as police headquarters throughout the series. Only thing it isn't actually a police building, even though there is a nice door that reads "Baltimore Police" you can still see to this day. While I took pictures of the entrance, the actual signage is not visible. I tried. Sorry.
As I mentioned in my old entry, I remembered the building when I was casting the Euclid Ballroom in my Nano "Alter Egos". I had gone past it in my original trip to Baltimore. Because I hadn't seen "Homicide" at that point, I didn't take much notice of it, except the useful location by the docks. Lt Giardello (Yaphet Kotto) mentioned offhand that headquarters spent some time as a ballroom in its glory days. And so I created the Euclid mostly out of whole cloth, if a bit fannish and a little faded.
The other Baltimore photos are here. I'm hoping to get the next group processed over lunch, if I can finish off the roll. I'm not even going to bother with the disk. Kodak's software is a pain in the tuchus to work with.
