I barreled over the Chesapeake Bay on up the highway to my hometown city of Baltimore.

On the way to meet up with some old friends and journey up to see another friend now living in Pennsylvania.

I sped through the city. The quickest way through the city to my friend’s house was right through the neighborhood that I grew up in, Waverly.

And I was thrilled to see that there was a new library there. So much beautiful light now. I got tears in my eyes.

Another hour plus driving and we were in New Oxford Pennsylvania visiting our friend Rose and her lovely kitchen shop.

And then feasting on green chile and psole stew at her house and toasting ourselves.

And then all too soon, I made the journey back. Through the city of my youth which doesn’t look itself at all these days. I’m glad.
