I was near Baltimore on a business trip so went up to see "The Harbor" and the Poe house. It is, unfortunately, in an absolutely crappy neighborhood, so drove by, glanced, and kept on going. Wanted to at least take a couple of pictures, but figured I'd get knocked in the head if I stopped.

No, actually a bright sunny spring afternoon. I enjoyed the hell out of the WWII sub that was in the harbor.

Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum, holds the three roses and cognac bottle left at Edgar Allan Poe's headstone and grave at Westminster Church, Baltimore, Maryland. Jan. 19, 2005.
Poe Toaster again eludes those who want discover his identity
Dan Viens
For the 57th year in a row, a mystery man has paid tribute to Edgar Allan Poe by placing roses and a bottle of cognac on the writer's grave to mark his birthday.
But this year, the curator of Baltimore's Poe House and Museum was saddened by disrespectful spectators. Jeff Jerome says some of the 25 observers at the tiny graveyard early this morning climbed over the walls and were "running all over the place."
The visitor managed to come and go without anyone stopping him. But because of the disruption, Jerome isn't giving details of what the mystery man was wearing, what he did at Poe's grave, and whether he left anything besides the roses and cognac, such as a note.
Jerome has seen the so-called Poe Toaster every January 19th since 1976.

For the heck of it?!

Seriously though, I've always been a fan of Poe.
Although my favorite short story writer is still Nathaniel Hawthorne.
If I lived in Baltimore I would definitely consider this.

Ironically, it turns out that the "Poe toaster" thought he was visiting the grave of
David Allan Coe, who (it turns out) is still alive. ;')
