    Here's a video of Cal Ripken Jr, (Played for the Orioles for 21 years and had 400+ homeruns and 3000+ hits) talking about my hometown of Baltimore. There are clips of the city in the video. In one of the first few clips, he shows The Senator Theater, which is a very old and original big theater that would show older movies. I never saw them show a Duke film, but in the clip from what looks like the 50's or early 60's, shows Sands Of Iwo Jima on the marque. Man, I was too young then to go see it. ARG! Here's the clip. Enjoy!

    P.S. I guess I still don't know how to insert a clip correctly (despite Sue's ever patient teaching to me) so, you can just click the one you want to see. lol They are the same.

    Great idea you have here, Jim. It will be fun to see where all of you hail from. Only one problem...I know you explained it to me on my last youtube post, but I still can't figure out how bring them here. It never turns out for me. :cry2:

    So, I will post the links and people can look there, or you can feel free to fix this for me also. Sorry to be a bother.

    I live in North East, Maryland.

    Here is a sunrise on the North East river near my house. [youtube]Y_3MFD3ZmGw[/youtube]


    Here is an original (but no longer used) covered bridge about 2 miles from my house. [youtube]Q9E4WHu92Pk[/youtube]


    For you race lovers, here is Cecil County Drag Way near my house. I hear them run all summer. [youtube]ErnaCSQHN3g[/youtube]


    And last but not least, for those ship lovers...the historical U.S.S. Constellation, built in the 1850's and still afloat in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore. You can still tour this ship. I have been on it a few times over the years. [youtube]sBoaFlw2zos[/youtube]
