    Baltimore should give you the keys to the city 😍❣ You definitely paint it in a different light,so much history and beautiful buildings decayed and not decayed.Now I know where ouija boards originated from too.Thanks and be safe❣❣

    Love your channel Dan , you guys rock !., another piece of history that's probably not too well known is that the first blood spilled in the American Civil War was at the intersection of Pratt and Light Streets. If you get a chance visit The Baltimore Civil War Museum on South President Street . Keep up the good work and please be safe.

      I love my vinyl, listening to Dark Side of the Moon isn’t the same without the little pops and cracks...I know it’s mental but to me it sounds richer being played on my old Yamaha receiver, made with copper components, no blue tooth, no wireless controls...I have to walk over to turn up the volume, it’s a shame shure stopped making needles, again just me but I love the sound I got with them on my Akai turntable.

    Really cool. I’m from Baltimore, and I didn’t know that piece of history. Many layers to that city. I’ve heard stories of subterranean layers and pockets downtown. Apparently, they needed to widen the roadways in the early 20th century. After they took down structures, they build right on top of the sub levels. I don’t know if it was due to costs, convenience, or land right laws. Broadway north to North Ave was a cemetery or a mass grave. I never found proof there was a cemetery there. It was during the Baltimore influenza when 4,100 people died in one winter. They ran out of people to dig graves. Some say they put poor folks there in mass unmarked graves. The children who died were placed In crypts in the church sub levels. The Church that looks like it shrunk in the group was build around. The mass graves are under broadway. Be cool to check into.

    So it mean's good luck in a bad way, like a warning or be careful. "To take a brief macabre turn here, one of the board’s early “victims” may have been William Fuld, who eventually became owner of the Kennard Novelty Company. Fuld was said to regularly use the Ouija himself, and when it told him to build a new factory, he obliged. It was at that factory, in 1927, that he’d die in an apparent freak accident.
    He fell from the roof while leaning against a support. But the fall didn’t kill him. He died when, by odd chance, one of his fractured ribs burst open his heart."
