B. Willow Among Top Ten Plant Shops
October 20, 2021. Our own B. Willow made Baltimore Magazine's Top Ten of the Most Delightful Plant Shops. As we all know, owner Liz Vayda has made an impact on our neighborhood with her amazing ventures, including potting workshops and plants instruction in schools, fundraising efforts for plant conservation, and supporting local vendors with sidewalk pop-ups. There is a variety of tropical, succulents, desert plants, air plants, and cacti. Beware of those cacti! I bought several and they grew bigly! The shop also delivers with one of the cutest vans around and offers virtual plant consultations. 220 W. 27th St., Remington.

Baltimore RunFest
October 9, 2021. Oh, I love the Baltimore Marathon when it is called the Baltimore Marathon and not the Runfest or whatever. I call it the Remington Road Rage Run. Sure I could be standing on the corner of Wyman Park Drive and Remington Avenue cheering on the runners, but I prefer sitting on my porch watching the traffic jam. It's inevitable that I will see some burly truckers in their semis banging their heads on steering wheels and wondering why they chose this route. Or people in their compact cars attempting U-turns while wedged between fellow travelers. Alley traffic suddenly doubles and every year I keep reminding myself to set up a coffee stand in my backyard, but, like the people in the cars, I forget about the event until it's race day.
