TIPS FOR TRAVELERS
You may find driving around Baltimore to be a bit of a challenge
since most of its main streets are one way. If you'd rather explore
downtown using the service provided by Baltimore Trolley Tours,
call 410-653-2998 for information. You can also explore Baltimore
from the water by hitching a ride on the Water Taxi, summer hours
11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. weekdays or 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m.
on weekends, 800-658-8947. They sell a reasonable all day pass
and stop at 15 landings in the Inner Harbor.
Since Baltimore is a big city, you'll need to have your personal
safety radar on high at all times. Before heading out, make sure
you study a map and know where you are going. Always lock your
car and keep your windows up when driving. You'll need to take
extra precautions with your purses and wallet too. Only carry
a pocket book that has a secure closure. Keep your hands on this
closure and the purse close to your body at all times. Men, keep
your wallets in an inside coat or trouser pocket. NEVER put it
in your rear pocket. In crowds be alert for pickpockets. The
Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association folks also
advise you to never use a large bill for a small purchase. It
is much safer to use credit cards or travelers checks for any
major expenses.
Now on a lighter note--if you're one of those square-dancing
couples, you'll be glad to know that the Baltimore
Folk Music Society holds a square dance with live music and
caller most weeks. So if you want to swing your partner round
and round, give their hot line a call at 410-366-0808.
Traveling with fur babies? Well just in case they should need
medical care, you'll be relived to know that you'll find help
just a call away at the Emergency Falls Road Animal Hospital,
6314 Falls Rd, 410-825-9100.
