About Baltimore
Maryland, MD
Baltimore is the largest city in the U.S. state of Maryland, and the 30th-most
populous city in the United States. Baltimore is the largest independent city in
the United States. As of 2016, the population of the Baltimore metropolitan area
was estimated to be just under 2.8 million, making it the 21st largest
metropolitan area in the country. Baltimore has more public statues and
monuments per capita than any other city in the country, and is home to some of
the earliest National Register Historic Districts in the nation, including
Fell's Point, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon, which were added to the National
Register between 1969–1971. Close to a third of the city's buildings over 65,000
are designated as historic in the National Register, which is more than any
other U.S. city. The Baltimore riot of 1968, coinciding with riots in other
cities, followed the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4, 1968.
Public order was not restored until April 12, 1968. The Baltimore riot cost the
city an estimated $10 million US$ 70 million in 2023. A total of 11,000 Maryland
National Guard and federal troops were ordered into the city. Lasting effects of
the riot can be seen on the streets of North Avenue, Howard Street, Gay Street,
and Pennsylvania Avenue, where long stretches of the streets remain barren. The
city experienced challenges again in 1974 when teachers, municipal workers, and
police officers conducted strikes. Baltimore is in north-central Maryland on the
Patapsco River close to where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay. The city is
also located on the fall line between the Piedmont Plateau and the Atlantic
Coastal Plain, which divides Baltimore into "lower city" and "upper city". Once
a predominantly industrial town, with an economic base focused on steel
processing, shipping, auto manufacturing General Motors Baltimore Assembly, and
transportation, the city experienced deindustrialization which cost residents
tens of thousands of low-skill, high-wage jobs. The city now relies on a
low-wage service economy, which accounts for 31% of jobs in the city. Around the
turn of the century, Baltimore was the leading US manufacturer of rye whiskey
and straw hats. It also led in refining of crude oil, brought to the city by
pipeline from Pennsylvania.
If you are sending a gift basket to a teacher or student keep in mind that the

Interesting Birthday Facts
The idea of celebrating the date of your birth is a pagan
tradition. In fact, many Christians didn't celebrate
birthdays historically, because of that link to paganism.
Pagans thought that evil spirits lurked on days of major
changes, like the day you turn a year older.
On the
contrary, a birthday signifies your beginning and the joy of
life. Every human on earth has been given a chance to
fulfill their own unique mission. A birthday is an important
and momentous occasion not be be understated. It is a time
to celebrate, reflect and give thanks.
Why do we celebrate birthdays with cake?
The Greeks would make round cakes to honor Artemis, the
goddess of the moon. The lit candles on the cake represented
the glow of the moon, and the smoke from the candles carried
their prayers and wishes to the Gods who lived in the skies.
Who was the first person to celebrate a birthday?
The Greeks most likely took the idea of birthday celebration
from the Egyptians, since just like the celebration of the
pharaohs as “gods,” the Greeks were celebrating their gods
and goddesses. 3. Ancient Romans were the first to celebrate
birthdays for the common man (but just the men).
Which birthdays are milestones?
Here are some answers to planning the perfect milestone
birthday party. A: Milestone birthdays that are most
commonly celebrated are Sweet 16, 21, 30, 40, 50 and 60. For
some reason, after 60, it starts going in 5's...like 65, 70,
75 so on and so forth.
When did they
start putting candles on birthday cakes?
The round cakes represented the moon, with candles adding
light. Cakes specifically for birthdays (rather than
weddings) originated in 15th century Germa
layer cakes were especially popular for first birthdays. In
the 18th century children's birthday parties called
Kinderfesten became popular.
Do your
birthday wishes come true?
Their belief that smoke from the candles carried prayers to
the gods may have been the origin of making wishes when we
blow out the candles on our birthday cakes. ... However,
whether a wish comes true or not doesn't have anything to do
with birthday candles, shooting stars, or eyelashes.
Sometimes it's just chance.
What religion
do you not celebrate your birthday?
While almost all Christians accept the practice today,
Jehovah's Witnesses and some Sacred Name groups refrain from
celebrating birthdays due to the custom's pagan origins, its
connections to magic and superstitions.
What is the birthday bumps?
"The bumps", or "the dumps" in Scotland, a birthday torment
common in countries such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, and
India, involves the friends and family of the person whose
birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and
"bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.
