The Peabody Library sits in the Mount Vernon Historic District in Downtown Baltimore. It is an awe-inspiring place if you love books and libraries. Before you even enter the library there are some rare books displayed. Who would not be impressed with the likes of Poe and Don Quixote. If you haven't visited, then I suggest you add it to your list.
"Don't blame it on me. Blame it on my wild heart." ~Stevie Nicks

“Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.” —David Bowie
