So a road trip the fourth week of September? I'll be in school but would love a visit! To bolster your big metal man-made object list, Baltimore has the B&O Railroad Museum, "birthplace of American railroading" and home to most powerful steam engine ever built. I hear it's train nerd paradise.

If you don't have a day to do that, we could get some oysters and crabs. _refugee_ any thoughts?

I love oysters and crabs and am down

It occurs to me I was too enthused writing this comment initially and actually I really don't like raw oysters, but hey.

We could probably go anywhere tasty. I'm sure kb has no strong need for oh-you're-in-town-you-HAVE-to-try-this kitsch. Unless I'm wrong. kleinbl00?

Been there before. As far as I'm concerned, Yuengling and Old Bay are pretty much what you got.

Oysters are better cooked. They're still not good. Besides which, I live on Puget Sound which means I automatically think my seafood is better than yours.

When is softshell season, anyway?

I don't really eat crabs so I'd be googling it anyway. I'm working on my hosting skillz -- I'll noodle on it.

I grew up in the Southwest. Santa Fe Railroad was everywhere. I care not a lot about trains; thanks though.

NAS Patuxent River might make an appearance. I stayed with the base vice-commander for a week several years back and he never mentioned they had a museum. It was dumb.
