You liked the Orioles smiling cartoon bird face better than the ornithologically-correct Oriole on today's ball cap.

More Parks sausages Mom, Please!

You remember the rotating restaurant on top of the Holiday Inn on Light Street. That's gone????

You've had the monster "Powerhouse" burger at one of four Ameche's
 drive-ins, and (long before there was a McDonald's in sight), you could "Meetcha at Ameche's!" at Loch Raven & Taylor, 5800 Reisterstown Rd, 7700 Wise Ave, or Ritchie Highway & 5th in Glen Burnie.  All gone!

A few years later you could also have a 15-cent burger at Gino Marchetti's, or drive through the Circle for a Cheesy-Q.  They're gone too!

You get a kick out of hearing Johns Hopkins or Pimlico named in movies or TV.

You know B&O is not body odor.

You remember when the Baltimore Civic Center was home to The Baltimore Bullets, The Baltimore Blast, The Baltimore Clippers, rock concerts, car shows, horse shows, civil-service exams, circuses, ice shows, and graduations.

You remember the wonderful spicy cinnamon smell of McCormick's on Light Street, and all the big festivals at Rash Field.

You've marveled as the three-wheeled motor cops shifted both sides of
33rd Street to the "one-way" pattern to get all the  traffic in and out of Orioles and Colts games in record time, every time. Try that one on Pratt Street.

Every kitchen had a can of Old Bay and every Frigidaire a case of Natty Boh.  Ain't the beer cold!

You remember when Baltimore rated a Playboy Club, and no, it wasn't on The Block.

 You understand the difference between Hampden and Remington.
