Thanks. You have inspired me to take a new look at the paint on my 1850 home...

What was the name of the restaurant on Charles Street near Saratoga (I think), the name being something like Manero's or Mancuso's? They had lamb dishes & a style a bit similar to the Prime Rib, but not as fancy. I went there around 1976.

Boo ravens

I was born there on Demarcy Way in the 1970's but that part no longer exists and I can't find any history of it besides my birth record 😢

Delaware was in fact one of the 15 slave state. While slaves made up a small percentage of the black population, it never abolished slavery. The change came about not through abolition, but through changing agricultural usage of the land reducing the economical advantages of slavery.

My grandmother’s childhood home was part of the Underground Railroad. It was in Buckeystown, MD. There was a ‘hidden room’ below the front yard that people would hide in. The house I still there to this day and I try to spot where it would be.

Western Marylander here! EMMANUEL Episcopal Church in Cumberland, Maryland was part of the Underground Railroad! Cumberland is very close to the Pennsylvania and WV state lines. The church has Underground tunnels ,used by soldiers during the French & Indian War. Ft. Cumberland was located on the grounds of the present day EMMANUEL Episcopal church! A young Col. George Washington and British General Edward Braddock left Ft. Cumberland heading for Ft. Duesquene, later called Ft. Pitt, present city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania! Escaped slaves were hidden in these tunnels on their way North to freedom!

Was horrible . Im from canton . 50 years old at posting . Cheap garbage

Delaware, like Maryland, was a slave state.

Don't forget Intercourse and Blue Ball in Lancaster.

No snark intended here. This is a legitimate question. When did run away slaves become "freedom seekers"? I would think a slave who had the courage and wherewithal to run away being termed a "freedom seeker" is not nearly as impactful and could be misunderstood by younger people who don't know their US history. I Jew escaping Poland seeking freedom in a new land is not equivocal to a run away slave. While they both are seeking freedom, a presocuted refugee and an enslaved person are two very very different things.

Thank you! Thank you! Perfect timing for this piece. It gives me wonderful information to bring to life in my novel. 😊

theres one on my rowhome in Arbutus

Monkeys in the barber shop in Edmondson Village in the 50-60 I think this was unique to Baltimore

The Word Is That This Is A Blended Olive Oil From Different Areas, Beware ⚠️

Shout out to the old blood. Never fear Hadaway is near. ❤

I live right down the street from there, at Liberty & Clay Streets.

I remember Herringrun Park. Explored it as a child and teen.

I think Baltimore Casualty was outgrowing their downtown location and couldn't expand downtown. Or, at least not as cheaply as if the moved to the suburbs where they could acquire more property and pay less all around. The "less distractions" was pure propaganda. And of course, this allowed for investing in other ventures beyond business offices at this location to increase their revenues

One of my most favorite times with my father. The music was amazing.

Baltimore County Historical Society occasionally gives an excellent presentation on the history of town of Warren

Johns: Looking good in that tuxedo! Thanks for another enjoyable & informative video about Baltimore! I'm just sorry that I missed dining at The Prime Rib when my wife & I lived near Baltimore (in Laurel). Happy new year, and I'll be looking forward to another year of your great videos!

Great report Johns! This is a “go to” restaurant for my mother and I for special occasions. Nadia and I wish you and yours a Happy 2025!

At 3:20 there's a photo with a caption that's the owner's name--but the photo is actually actors Van Heflin, Gary Cooper, and James Stewart at a New Year's Eve Party at Romanoff's restaurant in Beverly Hills. Maybe an AI-related error?

I took my wife there when we were dating. She was and is a huge fan of this cut of meat. One bite of Prime Rib's prime rib and she almost cried it was so good. That was 25 yers ago and it's still her favorite place to dine whenever we come up from Atlanta.

4:02 digging out the basement and then adding a few more stories to the top of the house sounds like a hard way to test a theory.

Why do people still put coins on the grave of John Wilkes Booth?

I guess I'll have to go visit this restaurant someday.

Ive never been to the Prime Rib, but my dad took me to lunch twice at the Chart House on Pratt St.

I love the Prime Rib! Great restaurant!!

You look so handsome. Happy New Year🎆🎉

I lived in horizon house for 6 years and loved going to the prime rib when I lived there. I was there Christmas Eve this year, and it's still classy and fabulous as ever !

So romantic. It's where my husband and I celebrate on New Year's Eve. Love their waiters! And the food. Happy New Year, all.

I can't wait to Go to Prime Rib

First. Yay. I’ve been there once during Restaurant Week Baltimore. I enjoyed it. I needed my steak well done and they finally got it right.😂😂😂

Love this video. Gustav is my Great Great Uncle. I am currently in Baltimore celebrating his son's 100th birthday.

This video about Bohemians sparks my curiosity about how National Bohemian beer got it's name

Like others, I so appreciate the Five Minute Histories videos. It's been one of the best ways to learn about our Baltimore history. Thank you!

At the Hemingway House in Key West there are Bricks in the walkway surrounding the house with Baltimore imprinted in them.

How in the world did this topic become Baltimore heritage is beyond me 😂😂😂😂

Enjoyed meeting her. We talked at the club when she interviewed me for a job. The stairs in the club were treacherous with waiters shoes. She is missed

Fantastic

Not Baltimore, but just into Washington County where Catoctin and South Mountain converge at Ft. Ritchie is a big lake built for making ice. The Western Maryland Railway track pass by and ice would be transported by train to Baltimore

Sssssssssssss here are some extra ss for when folks call Johns John

The Carroll County farm museum has a real ice house. Iirc it was filled with harvested ice, basically a big pit in the ground under the ice house.

A very laid-back man and you would not know that he was into the numbers game. 😮 A powerful man in his own rights . 😮

HOW ABOUT THE GREEK COMMUNITY ON EASTERN AVE,EAST SIDE,

Schutzen matches are slow , single shot target shooting. You said they drank beer there too, which is funny because shooting is the only sport where alcohol is a performance enhancing drug😅

I was looking forward to you showcasing the many many corner bars of Baltimore; at least like twenty of them, and I was very disappointed.

Merry Christmas, Johns & Co., and thanks for another year of interesting, informative videos!
