Whether you’re visiting Baltimore or Chesapeake City, escape to a quiet Maryland B&B at the end of the day

The original Washington Monument is dedicated to America’s first president and comes alive when it’s lit up in splendor after dark. Situated at the very center of the National Historic Landmark District, visitors can also climb over 200 steps of the stair tower for dizzying views of the city from the balcony – in summer this is possible on Wednesday evenings. The interior boasts interactive screens detailing the local history and a gallery displaying a huge bust of George Washington himself.

The Metro Gallery

The Metro Gallery in the Arts District of Downtown Baltimore supports the music, art and film scene. Its gallery puts on shows for upcoming local artists, and the main music venue boasts a great sound system for the eclectic mix of musical groups that pass through the city.

Through enthusiastic participation and education the group hope to bring togetherness to the people of Baltimore through comedy – this being very much the spirit of the people of this city made real. Settle back and enjoy a raucous show, or if you’re feeling brave enough, you are welcome to actively join in and take part yourself.
