World War Memorial & Kirmo Laundry ...
World War Memorial & Kirmo Laundry
Walked by
these everyday on the way to elementary school. This pic was taken in the 1940s
or earlier. Back then there were victory gardens across from our houses and
frequent ceremonies at flags and memorials and monuments in the nearby Gwynns
Falls Park & elsewhere celebrating and remembering those who served our
country. Wonder if this is still there at Frederick Avenue and Brunswick St in
Baltimore Maryland. Love the flags!
How
sad that we take for granted and go on with our lives without enough thoughts
for those who have served in these past ten years. Thank you all and
Blessings!
Baltimore in the 40's at Holiday Time ....
Now see ...this is what I mean...very few know these cool relatives from the past. Bert in the middle loved to pull a joke with the family "picking eggs" at Easter. Now if you are from Baltimore you probably have "picked eggs" at Easter! Check out the outfits. Rob far back was a wonderful uncle who went in swimming with the kids on the rivers in the summer near Baltimore like Kurtz's...Cottie on the right stayed that pretty her whole life even in her later years. Bertha, Burt's wife was having fun in this pic:check out her gloves!
When Sledding Was Good in Baltimore
When Sleddin Was Good In Baltimore!
Yep! In
Baltimore in 1945...when you could start at the top of this hill...veer to the
left and on good hard icy packed snow go all the way down the hills to the river
at the bottom of the Gwynns Falls Park. Now you can't ...houses and police
stations and tons of people are there now. "Georgie", Sylvia and I can go back
and enjoy the memories though... thanks to Georgi's family giving me this LABLED
pic!
