All of the suburbs of Baltimore, both blue and white-collar neighborhoods, have many homes heavily decorated during Christmas and Easter. But only a tiny fraction of homes here ever come close to being covered with the mind boggling, color crazed, amount of gaudiness you describe. And Dundalk is not home to the old Bethlehem Steel Mill; Sparrows Point is a separate section of Baltimore county altogether. If you or anyone wishes to see what Dundalk is truly like then go to my blog www.davidrcrews2 (dot) blogspot (dot) com . And there are some Sparrows Point photos on my blog David R Crews’ Ramblings and Photos that is linked to the Dundalk blog. A link to them should show up on my comment, as I am a google blogger. <BR/><BR/>Your silly description of Dundalk during the holidays is very unrealistically overblown (pun intended).ursusdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958025230159971359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-65388755719284422362007-03-07T22:12:00.000-05:002007-03-07T22:12:00.000-05:00Oh, so I'm the BIRD POLICE now?: )Oh, so I'm the BIRD POLICE now?<BR/><BR/>: )Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-73300825525743368322007-03-07T14:49:00.000-05:002007-03-07T14:49:00.000-05:00Cuppa, I'm glad you enjoyed the pansies.

I'll remember that.<BR/><BR/>Cathy, what really makes me smile is to see the same shack you drive past every day and see no life, occupants for a year. Then one day around Christmas there are candles lit in the windows and a manger scene outside. <BR/><BR/>Susan, you are my reliable bird policewoman.<BR/><BR/>Vicki, no pansies in Chicago?

Jackhammers and saws scared the birds away.<BR/><BR/>Donna, I think that's what's happening! This morning I drove out of the neighborhood and saw those same flamingos on a yard around across the street from the house you saw in the photo. I've never heard of that!

Some folks have a flock of flamingos (plastic ones, of course) that they take joy in planting in some unsuspecting person's yard.
