Baltimore Restaurant Week
August 2 – 11
Participating Baltimore Restaurants
Baltimore is a delicious city – seriously, it’s the local mecca of food. Just last year, Thrillist named Baltimore one of “The Best Food City in Every State”. If you aren’t dining here, you are missing out. Which is why Baltimore Restaurant Week is such a treat. Two-course brunch and lunch menus range from $12-20, and three-course dinner menus range from $20-$35. The price points allows you to try somewhere new, go out to lunch, have a date night (or two). Restaurants are still signing on, but they’ll be close to a hundred of Baltimore’s best participating. Save the dates!

A tender, harmony-laden river runs through the band’s core, but the rocky outcroppings change with every album outing. Appalachia melds with modern alt-country, hints of folk-rock are leavened with a sly and subversive sense of humor, and underneath it all is a genuine and moving passion for the ever- evolving traditions of Americana. With the recent release of their fifth album, Edges Run, Mipso continues the complex dance of looking back and moving forward with grace and beauty.

Love Letters – a Fund Raiser for Spotlighters!
Aug 2 – 18, Fri & Sat 8PM, Sun 2PM
Spotlighters Theatre
817 Saint Paul St, Baltimore
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank-you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years—where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools”. While Andy is off at war Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and, eventually, is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should, and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is really too late for both of them. However Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant, and gave to, each other over the years—physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.

Crusade – a world premiere play by Bruce Bonafede
Aug 9 – 18, Thurs – Sat 8PM, Sun 3PM
Baltimore Theatre Project
45 W Preston St, Baltimore
The third show of Rapid Lemon Productions’ 2019 “Season of Belief” is a collaboration with the Baltimore Playwrights Festival: CRUSADE, a world premiere by local playwright Bruce Bonafede. It is the future. The takeover of the federal government by Christian fundamentalists, and their assault on the Constitution, has led to civil war between opposing elements of the U.S. military. On reconnaissance patrol in the Rocky Mountains, an Army squad is forced to take cover in an isolated cabin owned by a former professor who now wants only to be left alone. The four members of the squad each have their own reason for being part of the anti-Christian resistance, including the squad’s female member, an expert sniper on a personal mission of vengeance. The situation is complicated when the squad captures a Christian deserter, and further complicated when their initial intention to take him back for interrogation is upended by their discovery that enemy troops are moving into the valley in overwhelming force, clearly in preparation for an attack on their base. This chain of events tests their character and is resolved in a moment of violence that seals their fate.

Get there early and have dinner at the LB Tavern before the tour begins. The Burying Grounds are only a 10 minute walk away. Each tour will start with ghost stories and history of the Lord Baltimore Hotel and the we will begin our trek to the Burying Grounds. Along the way we will learn the Haunted History of Baltimore. Some tours may be hosted by a special guest host! We will always have an experienced ghost tour guide for hosting duties.
