Memorial Day ’08

May 26, 2008

We’re going to try out the Baltimore Light Rail system today. We’re also going to our first (if we can get tickets) Orioles game at Camden Yards. Should be a nice Memorial Day activity—and it seems that the ballpark is infant friendly. Sorry, Lachie, it looks like Javi’s first baseball experience will be w/ the Orioles, not the Cubs.

I’m also starting to think that I can make my commute to Mount Saint Mary’s a non-driving one. The Light Rail goes as far north as Frederick, and there’s a commuter bus line that runs from Frederick to Emmitsburg. Even if it’s a longer commute (time-wise), it’ll be worth it if it means the two hours (per day on campus) of driving can become instead two hours of reading, grading, or relaxing.

Also, Saloumeh posted some pictures of Javi’s christening.

I think you're confusing Baltimore's light rail system (Hunt Valley to BWI/Glen Burnie) with the MARC commuter rail system. To get to Frederick from Baltimore, you would have to go down to Washington and transfer. The MARC system generally runs only during rush hours.

    Thanks, Frank. I couldn't find accurate information online (the MTA website is frequently down). But it looks like you're right. Too bad.

      If that's a disappointment, an even bigger disappointment is seeing the rail system that Baltimore could have had.
