Thursday, Dec. 23 at 7:00 pm Documentary & Talk
Imelda and Director Ramona Diaz
Baltimore never ceases to amaze: who could imagine that there would be such a great offering for the price of a movie? See the fascinating documentary Imelda and then meet director Ramona Diaz immediately after the film. She will give a brief talk and answer your questions. Fringe is definitely year-round in Baltimore! Admission $8

Now through the New Year's Holiday Train Gardens
Holiday Train Gardens and Festivals
As a boy, Jimbo loved his Lionel trains. He loves the idea of adult men 'playing' with their trains, building train layouts, expressing their creativity in a masculine way, and showing their love for children by making something kids love. The nurturing makes me teary-eyed. While I don't know what people in other cities do, Baltimore seems to have a special affection for holiday train gardens, perhaps because so many railroad workers live here and because it's the home of the B&O Railroad. The two big train gardens in Baltimore are:
Thru Jan. 5 from 10 am to 9 pm. Firemen & Trains!
Holiday Train Garden
For 48 years, Baltimore City Firemen have been making this train garden bigger and better than ever. Don't miss it; open seven days a week, and it's free! Website below is a year out of date, but the garden is not!

Glen Avenue Fire Station
17 Glenn Avenue
410-396-5616
Thru Jan. 2, various hours Pro/Am Trains
Wednesday Night Train Club
This is part of the B&O Railroad Museum's Festival of Trains. See the Wednesday Night Club's recreation of the 1949 Lionel Showroom Layout, an O-gauge layout by the National Capital Trackers (through Dec. 30) along with the B&O Museum's year-round train layouts. Definitely spectacular, but not as fringe as the Glen Avenue Station experience. And more expensive: $14 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, and $8 for children 2-12. Includes museum visit. Reservations advised.
