Well, I have to start with something. So, I'll start with explaining the name of the Blog.
The dude on the photo, you should know, is Edgar Allan Poe. Part of the title "evermore" is reference to Poe's poem "The Raven" (that, by the way, gives its name to Baltimore's Football team). "Baltimore" and "Evermore" rhyme, as you hopefully noticed yourself. The combination is easy to remember, and colorfully express my love for this city.
Poe is very much associated with the city because he lived, married his 13-old cousin here (Maybe, just to copycat Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Lord Baltimore, who married Baroness Anne Arundel when she was 13.). Poe also died and was buried here in Bawlma (Baltimore in local dialect). Click on the links below and see how fascinating (not to say crazy) this dude was. There is a whole page on Wikipedia exclusively about his death which causes could have been "alcoholism, suicide, murder, cholera, rabies, syphilis and that Poe was a victim of cooping (click the link and will know what cooping is)."
I'll let you go here. Just too much information for a day.
See you eventually.
P.S. As Poe I suffer of ADD (Huge!). Therefore, this blog has a good chance of not being continued, or at least, have many, many, many, many typsso ( I mean, typos ). :P
