Annapolis and other movie settings

We went to Annapolis yesterday. Some interesting facts:
  • The State House (seat of the Maryland state government) was the Capital of the United States for about a year after the Revolutionary War.
  • Annapolis is the home of St. John's College, a school founded in the 17th century that continues to educate utilizing only the Classics.
  • The Naval Academy, founded in 1845, is esteemed for producing great midshipmen as well as lacrosse teams that do not commit sex crimes.
  • Annapolis features old cobblestone roads that have no intensive purpose in our modern day life other than to increase tourist confidence in the authenticity of oldness as well as destabilizing shocks to increase business to mechanics.
  • Annapolis is an anagram for the word "Pansolins," a word once described by Annapolis native Frank Upton Taney as "the sweetest word ever to describe the special trousers worn by horse jockeys the day before a rather heavily wagered race."
  • Surrounded by historic architecture, I take pictures of an alleyway and a bunny.
  • Home of the famous delly (as spelled by the establishment) - Chick & Ruth's Delly.
The following pictures of our visit to Chick & Ruths. We both had corned beef/pastrami sandwiches on rye (fantastic) and matzah ball soup (a bit salty but quite palatable). Over all rating: 94% out of a possible 100 on the standardchuck Deli-rific richter scale.
