Baltimore fun has picked up this week! Lots of pre-valentines day events going on. So many unusual options for celebrating this year. I’ll definitely be at Baltimore Brew Night!on Friday and attempting to squeeze in BROS & Arena Players Present: Constellations & Crossroads after.

Still looking for a gift for your sweetie? I went in to Ma Petite for some shoes last night and came out with like 10lbs of chocolate. Their selection is insane right now! Then I wandered in to The Wine Source and lost my mind in their cheese section so I think I’m all set as far as wine, cheese, and chocolate go. The chances of any of these not being entirely consumed before Valentine’s Day are slim though.
