I grew up in Baltimore and I know that brewery… Though it’s no longer Carling… Love that card!
Gad, was today Flag Day?
Sheesh!

Very cool card! Love that picture.
One of these days I’ll come up for that coffee. Maybe I will bring GD with me!

You know that I was in Billings today. Didn’t see much that would indicate that it was flag day but some of the little towns along the way were surely decked out. bonnie

I spent almost 7 years in Balto. Which brewery is it now? It’s a great pic!
