The restaurant, bar, slash music venue offers a new setting in which to enjoy the classic meal. The eccentric pizzeria hosts artists for acoustic dinners from 7-9p.m almost every night.

Wacky Wednesday: Edgar Allan Poe Gravesite
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010 by Allison Ebner
Author Edgar Allan Poe is highly revered in literature, the nation, and particularly his 
hometown of Baltimore. In fact, so revered that his gravesite attracts many on a typical drive through the city.
Poe was originally buried in 1849 in an unmarked grave. Today, that is far from the case. The marble monument is both unmistakable and unavoidable. The granite base itself measures 6 feet on each side. A bust of Poe sits atop the base, inscribed with the dates 1809 and 1849 and Poe’s name along the bottom.
