Film Tourism with Don Dohler

So, I have tried not to become a couch potato during this pandemic, but in the last year or so I became aware of Baltimore film director Don Dohler.  He was also a publisher and many of his magazines and movies are freely available on the Internet Archive.

Over the past couple of days, I watched his horror film called Fiend.

I watched it to see if I recognize any of the locations.  For the most part no, since may scenes were shot at Moray Court.

But I did recognize Popular Grove Church.  I have relatives there.  I also have a photo on Google Earth of the church.

The film was release in 1980 and I was living in the area.

Dark Tourism in Maryland

On a recent trip to Maryland's Eastern Shore to visit family, we stopped by the Mystery Loves Company Bookstore in Oxford.  (funny thing, they had the doors wide open and and a window AC blasting, talk about waste, but that is another story).

We picked up a copy of Burgoynes' Haunted Eastern Shore (MD) and began to read about the local area.

One that intrigued me was The Hanging Tree, Tunis Mills.  Well, we found it and it is not too far from downtown Easton.

I'll let you research the validity of the claim of this Dark Tourism attraction, but to find it, check out my Panoramio (and Google Earth) location.

hmmmm Crabs!

A road trip this week to my old stomping grounds will take me to Blue Crab country....Maryland's Eastern Shore. There I will indulge in sea food and then some more sea food.

I sure do like the crab cakes at this place in Cambridge! Maybe I'll get a dozen steam crabs too!

Water quality in the Chesapeake has improved tremendously since the eighties.
