I’m going to stop posting on here for a long while. Possibly forever.

When I first started this site, my employer was the Annapolis Capital, a wonderful paper that (at the time) had no running or transportation blogs. Now, however, I work for the Baltimore Sun, which within the last year has launched both a wonderful transportation blog and, more recently, a very nice running section. Since these vastly outdo my blog in terms of quality and quantity, I’m happy to say that it’s now quite redundant.

That said, I’d still love to see you at a Friday meetup, as those will continue.

The team, led by TND Planning Group, will release its plan for area around the proposed red line stop on Monday at the Southeast Anchor Library, according to the Baltimore Sun. The Highlandtown area is located between Patterson Park and  Greektown. The most popular red line proposal involves light rail running from Woodlawn to the Johns Hopkins Bayview campus.

Polka and beer might seem like an odd backdrop for legions of health-conscious runners, but the worlds appeared to get along just fine when I jogged around Patterson Park this morning.

Granted, Baltimore’s 35th annual Polish Festival is more of a night affair. Even so, the closed-off street that resulted from the party suited a lot of pedestrians just fine. I counted 22 runners, hikers and dog walkers during my very brief time on the edges of the park. There were also bikers on the streets around the park, but they looked like they were actually going somewhere, so I didn’t count them in my leisure audit, so to speak.

Here’s my route map.
