Attention Baltimore and Maryland Peeps!

[alivemagdolene]

... and/or people that like Baltimore. I'm aiming to make a color bar for Baltimore as I've yet to see one. I'm stuck since we have such an embarrassment of riches (so to speak) when it comes to landmarks/stuff to put on the bar.

I'm going to have to put a pink flamingo on the side since our native son, the divine John Waters, has donated so much to the hip, exotic quality of our fair city.

Some examples of color bars done for places include these that I'm using for inspiration (that I ripped off from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s profile, where these ideas spawned in the first place):

And of course there is my Glen Burnie color bar (which is, of course, 80% in irony) that I made since frankly it was simpler than making a Baltimore color bar.

Any ideas are appreciated. ♥

You gotta have Camden Yards in your Baltimore color bar. The baseball fan in me says so. =P

GOIN' TO SEE DEM Os, HON! And I've actually been there and stuff, nosebleed seats and all! *checks that off*

I love those colorbars soooo much. I can't help but love California (there's no use resisting), and New York is totally where I dream of being.

All I know about Baltimore is Charm City Cakes. :P

I cannot love California since my estranged brother lives there (I'm aware it's a large state), but oddly enough, I do like it after making that Hanford Lemoore banner. ^_^

Charm City Cakes is enough. ;^) Other than John Waters, of course!

Awww... I think you'd find Hanford/Lemoore charming on your first visit (just based on the novelty of it) and then boring.

I love Ace of Cakes. And I love John Waters, but I always forget that he came from there. Also, I was thinking about it... Tori grew up there. That's a point for Baltimore.

I think you'd find Glen Burnie godawful, then godawfuller.

John Waters, The Wire, Barry Levinson, Homicide, Michael Phelps, several horrible movies (including She's Just Not That Into You which I won't see even if it IS filmed and set in Baltimore) and of course La Tori, who sang "I'm Proud to Be a Baltimorean" as a teenager (too cute).

E.A. Poe's Grave--ideally with the roses and booze .

i like your glen burnie color bar much more than these big-city ones.

baltimore, to me, is little italy and fell's point. i haven't been to vaccaro's in years, come to think of it. what i'd give for some gelato!

[alivemagdolene.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you. ^^

Oh, Fell's Point! *dreamy sigh* I've loved that place since I was a kid! And oddly enough, despite being half-Italian-American, I've never been to Little Italy. GELATO!
