2014 ACC Baltimore Memories - The Crab House

Another fond memory from the Baltimore show during the early 80's.  One evening, after a busy day of selling, about a dozen craftspeoples crowded into a van and were driven to a crab house deep in the Baltimore neighborhoods.  It was supposed to be the best one in town.  Imagine all of us sitting on the crowded steel floor of a cargo van not being able to see the dark world whiz by outside.  Arrival came after a bumpy ride and we were greeted by the colorful lights of the resturant.  Once inside I noticed that the tables were covered with butchers paper, that brown stuff also used to wrap USPS packages.  

I don't remember what my bride and I ordered but I know she had a great time.  I wasn't much interested in seafood in those days.  It wasn't until a Conneticut potter named Robert Parrot took us to a real seafood place in his home town that I became more interested in crab and lobster and even fried clams.  It was all so yummy and so different than that available back in Wisconsin.
