Well with the summer Usenix conference coming up the question is... what is there to do and see while at the conference? Might as well post the answers seeing that there may be a number of people with the same questions. -- "Looks like plant food to me" Tony Cratz work phone: (408) 982-3585 UUCP: ames!versatc!icldata!cratz Snail: ICL Datachecker, 800 Central Expressway MS 33-36, Santa Clara, Ca 95052

Downtown Baltimore (where Usenix is being held) is situated on a branch of river which leads to the Chesapeake Bay. Most of the hotels housing Usenix participants are within a few blocks walking distance of the harbor area, and the Hyatt and Sheraton both face the waterfront. Most of the following places are within walking distance (or short trip via public transit) of the harbor area. 1) "Harborplace" is a fun place to visit, even for locals. It is made up of two buildings which face the water, and houses many little shops, clothing stores, walk-away eateries and sit-down restaurants. 2) The Maryland Science Center contains visual and interactive displays of scientific principles and information about our changing environment, etc. The Science Center also has a planetarium, and a 5 story theatre called "IMAX" which I have not been to, but I've heard is impressive. 3) Be sure to go to the "Top of the World". Take the elevator to the top of Baltimore's World Trade Center. You can see all of Baltimore from here (there are maps with pointers to tell you what/where the famous/historic places are). 4) The National Aquarium. 5) Little Italy is a very ethnic Italian community, and the best place in town to get Italian food. Many restaurants there, and everyone has his own opinion of the best. 6) The Brokerage is Baltimore's latest addition to nightlife. Visit The Fishmarket (a mall-like collection of theme bars and all types of music), Baltimore's Original Sports Bar (televises many popular sporting events and has places to shoot pool, baskets, etc. and sometimes even a volleyball court), Ltl Ditty's [pronounced 'little ditties'] (my personal favorite, a sing-along piano bar), Fat Tuesday's (for Cajun style drinks and atmosphere)... just part of a very long list. 7) Fort McHenry, where Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner 8) Good seafood restaurants include The Rusty Scupper, The Charthouse and Phillips Harborplace. Be sure to try Maryland steamed crabs! 9) There are many boat trips of all lenghts and prices that leave hourly/daily from the harbor. Check with the concierge at your hotel or the harbormaster's pavilion for times and prices. If you have a car, you might want to visit the following places: 1) Go uptown and watch the Baltimore Orioles play (if they are in town) 2) Go to Washington D.C., there is plenty of stuff to see there (monuments, Smithsonian, etc) and its only about 45-60 minutes away. 3) The Baltimore Zoo or the Washington National Zoo 4) Annapolis, the capitol of Maryland, relatively small harbor city. These are the main highlights that I can think of quickly. Baltimore is very tourist oriented, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding maps/ directions to any of these places. Enjoy!

Checkout the following: The Fish Market - a mall like structure with entertainment for every taste. Within 6 or 7 blocks of the show. Phillips Res. - the best seafood this side of heaven. The O's - the new Baltimore Orioles may be in town, I don't have a schedule but they are definitely worth catching. You can catch a bus or cab and before you know it be at Memorial Stadium. While there checkout the "Castle on the hill" across the street from the Stadium. It is the campus of the Baltimore City College, one of the oldest and best public liberal arts high schools in the country. The National Aquarium - Just down the street (2 blocks) from the show. The Maryland Science Center - Just a few blocks from the show. Take the harbour tour and stop off at Ft. Mchenry, the birthplace of our National Anthem. The boat takes off from a pier that is 1 block from the show. Tour the city and see what the "Land of Pleasant Living" look like. Take in a Lacrosse game, we have the best in the country. Both John Hopkins and U. of Maryland are close enough for the true Lacrosse fan. Want a steak, try the "Chart House". It is within walking distance of the show. The Inner Harbour is loaded! I could go on and on and on.... Oh yes, it is VERY safe and not like some neighboring large cities. I hosted a National Meeting there just last week and my guest loved it. -- Signed by: Rod Hart (WA3MEZ) Minicomputer Technical Support District Chesapeake & Potomac Tel. Co. - A Bell Atlantic Company

Well, several people have posted most of the good things to do or see, so I'll just throw in a few more eatery suggestions: Connoleys (sp?) - on Pier 4 (5?) a few blocks East of the convention center: very good seafood, crabcakes, steamed crabs, etc. Moderate prices, usually depending on what's fresh that day. Tio Pepe's - downtown baltimore, check the phonebook: good Spanish (maybe Mexican?) food; not tacos & burritos, but "fancy" food & great flan! Expensive. Bertha's - Fells Point, 1-2 miles East of the convention center: home of the legendary Bertha's Mussels, a small (!) bar with a 10 table restaurant in the back. Reasonable prices. Pollack Johnny's - on "The Block", Baltimore Street just North of the convention center (and East by 2 or 3 blocks): great Polish sausages, but guaranteed heartburn. Also, it's in the middle of all the strip joints, so it's not the best of neighborhoods (but not that bad, esp. if in a group of 3 or more). Cheap on the wallet, expensive on the GI tract. :-) Hausner's - East Baltimore somewhere, check the phone book: good food, somewhat German "accent", usually very good seafood. Very crowded, they only take reservations for 5 or more, otherwise you stand in line. It's worth going if only for the experience - you stand in line for a while, then you go inside and it's still crowded. It might not be so bad, but every inch of wall space is covered with paintings. There's a gallery upstairs you can tour while waiting for your food to arrive. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it (or it was the last time I was there about 5 years ago). Sissons - South Baltimore, walking distance from the convention center, check the phone book for address: good "Cajun" food. Moderate to expensive. -- Adam S.

Any game with The Yankees is a big draw so expect the crowds to be good size also with student night expect a lot of wild folk in the upper deck ( John Hopkins is a short walk away ) The A's should be a good draw also. I went to an A's game last year and a lot of the first base side was taken up with A's fans. For seating purposes The home dugout is on Third base side , visitors on first base. The upper deck is entirrely in the open, the worst afternoon sun is on the first base side ( as usual for ball parks) The upper deck extends to just past the foulpoles on each side. And if you don't follow the O's to much remember that in 1992 we will be getting a new stadium ( grr... sore subject). also there is a toll free ticket number: 1-800 950-2473 Bob Smart (bsmart@verdix.com)

the cheap airline fare), and won't have a rental car (to save more
money). Is there a convenient way to get to Washington DC for the day

I think they have stopped having the annual Pollock eating contest :-( also I believe that the Block location ( along with the most of the Block ) is history. I now go to the Lexington Market location, which is itself a unique eatery. Lexington Market is an oldfashioned city market. each stall is independently owned and operated. If it can be eaten you can get it there. When we're in Baltimore My wife & I stop there and wander around trying to decide what to eat. I always end up with 2 ( or 3 if we pass by the stall again) Pollocks while she is more changeable, but usually ends it with cheesecake from one of the bakeries there. Dont forget Phillips at the inner Harbor. Phillips was a tradition when it was only in Ocean City. People used to stand in line for hours to get in for crabs etc. They serve traditional Chesepeake bay fare. Expect a wait a lot of locals will be there to. Bob Smart (bsmart@verdix.com)

There is a transport service called the Washington Flyer (or something like that) that runs shuttles between Washington-National Airport, Dulles Airport, and BWI (Baltimore-Washington Int.) Airport for a fairly low price. So if you take the Flyer from BWI to Washington National, then you can take the subway from Washington-National to all the major attractions in DC (the White House, Smithsonian and other art galleries, Capitol building, Washington monument, Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, etc.). BTW, the Pavillion (the Old Post Office) is a good place to get almost any kind of food you might want for minor $. In addition it is near almost all the attrtactions listed above, and usually has good live music for free in the food courtyard. ------------------ "The only difference between a madman and myself is that I am not mad" S.

According to the current time-table, on Sundays there are trains leaving Baltimore's Penn Station (a short cab ride from where Usenix is being held) at 7:00am, 10:05am and 10:45am (there are more times than this, I just picked a few). Travel time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour. There are trains leaving D.C. for Baltimore at 5:20pm, 6:30pm, 7:20pm and 8:05pm to name only a few. There are two Amtrak stations in D.C., Union Station and New Carrollton. Both stations are also on the D.C. Metro line, so you can get just about anywhere you would like to go. Depending on the time you travel, a round-trip ticket costs between $19 and $25. These times and prices may change between now and Usenix, call Amtrak when you get to Baltimore (539-2112) for specifics.

Amtrak trains to/from Washington, DC run more or less hourly from Baltimore's Penn Station, which is located about 20 blocks from the Convention Center. Once you get to DC, there's a Metro (subway) stop right in Union Station. DC's Union Station is within walking distance of Capitol Hill, but you'll want to use Metro to get elsewhere to the major monuments, etc.--unless you really like walking. -- UUCP: ...!{rutgers|ames|uunet}!mimsy!aplcen!wb3ffv!fallst!tkevans INTERNET: tkevans%fallst@wb3ffv.ampr.org OTHER: ...!attmail!fallst!tkevans Tim Evans 2201 Brookhaven Court, Fallston, MD 21047 (301) 965-3286
