Grand Opening of the new Daily Grind in the old firehouse on O'Donnell Square!

Nicknamed the Firehouse Grind, this funky new coffee shop is quite the unusual watering hole....featuring the famed "Blues Brothers" outside sipping coffee, and the soon-to-be-named fireman sliding down the original firepole.

It's a great place to meet friends, business associates, or your workout partner for a 0-calorie, sugar free Latte (plus skim milk or soy), or a yummy piece of Junior's New York Cheesecake, Dangerously Delicious Pie, or Moxley's Super Premium Ice Cream. Lots of great salads and sandwiches too. The Grind offers "free wireless internet" and they're even open late for dessert, ice cream, or a cup of Joe. Check out website www.firehousegrind.com

Me and my friend (we're both pilots) flew around the Chesapeake Bay yesterday and took some great video. Click to check it out...

Chesapeake Bay Facts & Figures

Ever wondered how big the Chesapeake Bay is? Or how many states are in the Bay watershed? Learn all about the Bay by reading these interesting facts and figures.

The Chesapeak Bay

• The Chesapeake Bay is an estuary, a body of water where fresh and salt water mix. It is the largest of 130 estuaries in the United States.

• The Bay is about 200 miles long, stretching from Havre de Grace, Maryland, to Virginia Beach, Virginia.

• The Bay's width ranges from 3.4 miles near Aberdeen, Maryland, to 35 miles near the mouth of the Potomac River.

• The Bay holds more than 15 trillion gallons of water.

• The Bay is surprisingly shallow. Its average depth, including all tidal tributaries, is about 21 feet. A person who is 6 feet tall could wade through over 700,000 acres of the Bay and never get his or her hat wet.

• A few deep troughs running along much of the Bay's length reach up to 174 feet in depth. These troughs are believed to be remnants of the ancient Susquehanna River.

• Two of the five major North Atlantic ports in the United States—Baltimore and Hampton Roads—are on the Bay.

• The Bay and its tidal tributaries have around 11,684 miles of shoreline—more than the entire U.S. West Coast.

• The surface area of the Bay and its tidal tributaries is 125 billion square feet, or around 4,480 square miles.

• The Bay supports more than 3,600 species of plants, fish and animals, including 348 species of finfish, 173 species of shellfish and over 2,700 plant species.

• The Chesapeake is home to 29 species of waterfowl and is a major resting ground along the Atlantic Flyway. Every year, one million waterfowl winter in the Bay region.

• The Chesapeake is a commercial and recreational resource for the more than 16 million people who live in its watershed.

• The Bay produces about 500 million pounds of seafood per year.

Locals will shudder in fear as they shut their windows, lock their doors, and hide from the piratical antics of the evening's festivities, but there is nowhere left to hide... the raid has been extended to be an all-day pyrate extravaganza! 

There will be merchants, street performers, children's activities, living history exhibits, and swordplay within the heart of Fells Point located in Broadway Square (next to the water, easily accessible via Baltimore's Water Taxi service).
