Aloha to Savage, Maryland



I walked into "town" ... 


 ... to mail last week's prizes.  I introduced myself to the postmaster as the "book lady" who will become a regular fixture at the post office! 


Although the town lies in the shadows of the former mill - turned - boutique shopping, Savage has its own unique charm.


The town park offers a glimpse of a time gone by where folks gathered on the common green.


The Carroll Baldwin Hall once served as a library .... 


... and it is just around the corner from Ma's Kettle.  The postmaster noted its BBQ earned its reputation.


The town boasts numerous historic homes ... 


... with the above home now serving as Solomon's Lodge.


On my way back to my neighborhood, I passed the Weiss supermarket ... I was intrigued by the Jewish Apple Cake.



Berger cookies are a Baltimore favorite that pack on the creme and calories!   Do you like BBQ?  Have you tried Jewish Apple Cake?  Can a cookie have too much chocolate?

Mahalo,


Kim in Baltimore

  2. A cookie can never have too much chocolate! lol

    This looks like a lovely small town! I enjoy looking at historical homes! I wouldn't mind living in one with a few modern improvements.

  3. Lovely tour of your new town, Kim. I've never tried Jewish Apple Cake but it sure looks good and I'm not sure anything can ever have too much chocolate! lol!

    Living in the Carolinas has put BBQ on my radar in a new, and delicious, way. :)

  6. I love Savage, Kim. The mill is so much fun and I haven't been out there in ages. As far as BBQ ...yes!!! There is a little place within walking distance of me. And I haven't had Jewish apple cake since leaving DE. It's so good! But believe it or not, I've never had a Berger cookie. Waving to you from Severna Park!

  8. You really lucked out by living in Savage. It looks really quaint, and a place that would be nice to live in. Mind you, I think that "Savage" is a strange name for a town.
