With all of the fry talk on the insta story yesterday, I decided to stop by @clark_burger this afternoon. Several people mentioned this as their fry go-to in the northeast,so I met some neighbors for a Sunday taste test. Thumbs up and full bellies. A great break from the Sunday chores!

ALERT! Cats from Govans in Baltimore City being taken to County animal control

In the last two weeks, we've seen four cats from the Govans area show up at Baltimore County Animal Services, via their "stray cat list." We have no additional information on these cats, but if you live in this area, please help spread the word. It might be someone with good intentions, who just doesn't know how bad the Baltimore County shelter is, or doesn't know about the city shelters. Or it could be someone who is trying to "get rid" of outdoor cats by taking them to a shelter where they're less likely to be found by their owner or caretaker. The first cat came into the shelter on 3/12: calico DSH, impound #00701. Three more were brought in on 3/27:

The man behind the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad’s Belt Line

Lawrence McCabe (Baltimore Sun file photo)

William John Wilgus, who designed and supervised construction of New York City’s Grand Central Terminal which opened in 1913, studied the B & O’s Belt Line electrification, a three-mile stretch of track that passed under Howard Street and through the new Mount Royal Station.

The challenge faced by McCabe and Wilgus was the same: how to free tunnels of accumulated smoke and gases from steam engines. The answer was having trains pulled by electric engines or motors, as they are called, thus freeing tunnels from deadly gases and smoke.

The Belt Line project marked the first mainline electrification of a steam railroad in the world.

McCabe’s firm, L. B. McCabe & Bro., constructed Manhattan’s Interborough Rapid Transit System which began carrying passengers in 1904.

Locally, he also constructed the water tunnel connecting Loch Raven to Montebello and the North Avenue and St. Paul Street bridges.

The colonel’s white-columned mansion, “Linden,” still stands on York Road in Govans, and McCabe Avenue honors his memory.

His last project, the Holland Tunnel, which connected New Jersey and New York City, reunited McCabe and Wilgus, who was the consulting engineer for the vehicular tunnel which opened in 1927.

McCabe died in 1921 and is buried in St. Mary’s Cemetery on Homeland Avenue.
