WONDERFULLY WEIRD WHACKY HAMDEN

There is a delightfully quirky, blue-collar neighboorhood in Baltimore called Hamden. It is most famous for two events: The hon festival(think John Waters' Hairspray) and our own Miracle on 34th Street. An entire block of row houses lights up the sky. Each house is decorated in it's own unique style. Vendors sell food and hot chocolate. It is definitely on the Baltimore to-do-list each Christmas season.A constant stream of cars moves down the street and the lines of people being welcomed by the neighborhood grows each year.

You have normal Chistmas lights and then you have the lawn ornaments made from recycled tools in the shape of a crab of course. They even included the Old Bay.

And who can forget the LP tree. Hamden is known for its pink flamingos. If you look closely you may find some on this fishnet tree.

There are favorite Christmas characters...

along with old wheel snowmen.

This house is showing it's Raven-mania! The beer angel and crab tree was a big hit.

But my favorite and my contribution to weird object Friday is the hubcap tree.

It is a sight not to be missed, hon!
