Feb 26th, 2010 at 4:20PM: Deciding on a top ten list of anything is usually pretty difficult. Unless you're talking about, say, the top ten numbers one through ten... narrowing down and choosing only ten of whatever often takes a great deal of effort.

The 24 greatest cities in the world for drinking beer

When it comes to the world of beer, ...At Fells Point, Maryland ghosts reside year-round
Dec 21st, 2009 at 3:30PM: Even though it's almost Christmas, and Halloween is long gone, it's not the end of haunted travel. Fells Point, Maryland is one of those towns where ghosts and their stories don't go on vacation until the next season of fright delight. In Fells Point, the ghosts are woven into the town's lore all year long.
Located on the waterfront as a section of Baltimore, Fells Point, founded in 1763, is one ...Hole breaks in fuselage, Southwest plane lands safely
Jul 14th, 2009 at 12:30PM: A Southwest Airlines 737 landed safely in West Virginia last night after a 1 foot by 1 foot hole opened in the fuselage. Passengers could actually see the sky through the gape. Cabin pressure dropped, and passengers put on their masks quickly. Nobody was injured.
The plane was flying from Nashville to Baltimore but diverted as a result of the hole. The pilot landed the plane, to the thanks, ...Ken Jennings spotted at BWI
Jun 1st, 2009 at 6:00PM: Every time I fly through BWI I seem to run into someone interesting. Last time it was Michael Phelps, and last week, well, it was another record breaking athlete. Trivia athlete, that is. Ken Jennings spent over six months on the TV quiz show Jeopardy in 2004, racking up over two million dollars in prizes, antagonizing competitors and making a general beating out of 74 episodes. Today, Ken was ...Chattanooga, Portsmouth among top art destinations in the U.S.
Apr 18th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Who thought that Tennessee and New Hampshire would be some of the top towns in the country for art lovers. AmericanStyle magazine just issued the results of its twelfth annual arts destinations poll. Some spots are predictable. Others, like Chattanooga, will just blow your mind. This is the first year Chattanooga made the list, shooting all the way up to second in the mid-sized city category. If ...AirTran cuts flights to VT, nobody cares
Mar 18th, 2009 at 2:00PM: When AirTran's first flight touched down in Burlington almost a year ago, the airline's director for strategic planning and scheduling, John Kirby, said, "This is going to be a home run." I guess that didn't work out. It didn't even last a year. AirTran's nonstop service between Burlington, VT and the Washington, D.C. area is now but a memory "seasonal." The route will now be serviced for around ...Baltimore tourism on the upswing
Jan 13th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Fellow Gadlinger Grant Martin was right. Or, at least, he's found a lot of people who agree with him. Baltimore's tourism business is on the rise. The city's tourism bureau reported that it's already passed the halfway point to its hotel booking goals for the next fiscal year. The city has a goal of 475,000 future room nights, and the bureau's sales team has already taken care of 301,800 of them. ...Budget Travel: Baltimore
Jan 5th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Summary: When most people think of the city of Baltimore, tourism is the last thing that comes to their mind. The Maryland city known for high crime, seedy neighborhoods and social stratification often falls by the wayside when travelers consider the hipper east coast cities -- Boston, New York, Philadelphia or Washington DC. But nestled deep in the grit of Baltimore lies a dark warm culture, a ...Aiports landscape with artificial turf
Apr 2nd, 2008 at 8:00AM: No, it's not an attempt to make airports seem more like sport stadiums; artificial turf is being used on tarmacs at airports around the country because it is easier and less expensive to maintain that the real green stuff. Baltimore/Washington is the latest airport to green its tarmac, joining other major hubs like New York's John F. Kennedy, Atlanta, Detroit, Boston, Toronto, Chicago Midway and ...Columbus snow storm from an art car perspective
Mar 9th, 2008 at 10:15PM: Yowza! It really did snow! When the flurries first started to fly, then thicken, I wrote about the leming-like trail to grocery stores. Yesterday, as one thing after another canceled, Greg Phelps, an art car celebrity of Columbus, took some photos from his car and kindly sent a link to one of them.
Every so often, I see Greg driving down the street. Seeing his car is similar to a movie star ...One for the Road: Charm City - A Walk Through Baltimore
Dec 20th, 2007 at 1:00PM: I'm super excited about today's book suggestion. The latest title in Crown's Journey Series is Charm City: A Walk Through Baltimore by Madison Smartt Bell. The cover itself, decorated with Hon hair and a photo of the famous Painted Ladies, is enough for me to know -- I want to read this book! When I first started writing for Gadling back in 2005, I was still a Baltimore resident, and I've ...Pilots fall asleep during red-eye flight
Nov 2nd, 2007 at 1:40PM: Here's another spooky story from the skies -- and this one isn't just an urban legend. Two pilots fell asleep during an all-night flight between Baltimore and Denver. One pilot woke up to "frantic" calls from air traffic control advising that they were approaching the airport at twice the allowed speed. The pilot was able to safely land the plane with no further problems. The incident was ...Nachos and Natty Boh on The Square in Baltimore's Canton
Oct 17th, 2007 at 10:00AM: I lived in Baltimore for many years, so while reading this New York Times piece about Canton, I thought of some additional insider info I could share. First of all, no one calls the heart of the neighborhood by its real name, O'Donnell Square. But it was nice of Mr. Villano to fill us in on who Captain O'Donnell was. Locals just call it "the Square". Secondly, (and I'm sure some native ...Haunted Tours for Halloween Fun: East Coast Edition
Oct 13th, 2007 at 10:15AM: Want to get spooked this Halloween? If your travels find you in any of these ten East Coast cities, be sure to check out the haunted tours happening on and around Halloween. Alexandria, VA: This Colonial Tour Group runs their original Ghost and Graveyard Tour, as well as a special enhanced Halloween version, several times throughout the autumn months. Atlanta, GA: How about a haunted tour on two ...Art Car Show: From the Funky to the Fabulous
Jul 19th, 2007 at 2:18PM: Willy wrote a post about a art car parade in California this past April. I mentioned art cars in my ComFest post in June. Here's another art car opportunity. Marilyn Terrell, a faithful Gadling reader and a person who knows quality events when she sees them, sent this our way. The 14th Annual Car Art Show and Other Wheeled is happening in Baltimore, Maryland this weekend, July 20- 22. It's part of ...2007 Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
Apr 6th, 2007 at 6:23AM: I was starting to wonder if only San Fransisco stages all those fun but crazy events. However, Baltimore does it, too. In fact, the deadline is fast approaching for you to enter the 2007 Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race. Kinetic Sculptures are amphibious, human powered works of art -- steered by Kinetinauts -- custom built for the race. Each May, the 8-hour race covers 15 miles -- mostly on ...
