Planes, trains and automobiles it sounds like. I lived near Baltimore... 15 miles north. I was 9-17 then. The Inner Harbor was in its renaissance then. I found this interesting https://ghostsofbaltimore.org/topic/1980s/

Alaska Air I loved since 2000 when I moved to Seattle. The best for flying coach of any if theyr'e going where you're going.

Lugnut - Yeah, all Alaska flights come out of the Seattle hub, so we're back and forth from there. You can come in direct from Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, SLC, Dallas, Phoenix, etc.

Matt - Wow, those Baltimore pics and maps are really fun! You can wander through that site for a long time. Camden Yards were the Camden RAILROAD yards, ah HA! Fells and Fells Point weren't even places back then, just docks and wharves and boxcars. Now it's full of people and restaurants.

Hopkins is just a dot on the map, "Hospital." Funny. Now it's 4 blocks by 8 blocks.

This is exactly the great look steelies give a car. This particular sample is just incredible to me. I'm dizzy.
