Off to Baltimore for the Day

update: it looks like the trip is a go, and will conclude with meeting some of the InsideCatholic folks!

original post: I'm considering a daytrip to Baltimore this week, probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

My priority is to see the Baltimore Basilica {official website} which I've wanted to tour ever since I heard about its extensive renovations. In second place - oddly enough - Edgar Allen Poe's tomb. He needs the prayers.

Now, can you think of any other places I should add to my itinerary? I'm aware of most the "touristy" destinations. I'm looking instead for specifically Catholic tips.

Also, I've had readers complain in the past when I've visited cities without giving them advance warning, hinting at the same time that they would have liked to get some AmP readers together for a pint somewhere. I'm open to that possibility this time around, but someone else would have to organize it. I'd be happy to show up, time permitting.
