Kathedrale Maria Königin (Baltimore)

Die Kathedrale Maria Königin (engl. Mary Our Queen Cathedral) im Norden Baltimores ist seit ihrer Vollendung im Jahr 1959 Bischofskirche für das römisch-katholische Erzbistum Baltimore. Geschichte Durch das Bevölkerungswachstum in Stadt und Region genügte die Kathedrale Mariä Himmelfahrt (erbaut 1806–1821) seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nicht mehr dem Bedarf. Die finanzielle Grundlage für die neue Metropolitankathedrale stiftete der irischstämmige Großhändler Thomas J. O’Neill (1849–1919) als Dank für die Bewahrung seiner Handelsniederlassung beim Stadtbrand von 1904. Im Oktober 1954 wurde der Grundstein für den Bau gelegt. Am 13. Oktober 1959 weihte Bischof Jerome Sebastian den Kirchenbau; die Dedikation erfolgte am 15. November desselben Jahres durch Erzbischof Francis Keough. Seither ist die alte Bischofskirche Konkathedrale. Bau Die Kathedrale wurde aus mehr als drei Millionen Backsteinen und 70.000 Kalksteinen aus Indiana errichtet. Sie ist 114 m lang und 40 m breit, die beiden Türme sind 50 m hoch. Die Kirche bietet 2.200 Menschen Platz, davon 1.900 Sitzplätze. Sie verfügt über zwei Orgeln. Der Baustil modifiziert die englische Neugotik mit Art-déco-Elementen. Das Langhaus ähnelt dem einer dreischiffigen Basilika, die Seitenschiffe sind jedoch durch Zwischenwände in einzelne Kapellen aufgeteilt. Die Ausstattung umfasst allein im Hauptschiff 385 Skulpturen und Reliefs und 398 Bildfenster. In der Krypta werden seit 1960 die Bischöfe von Baltimore bestattet. Die Orgel wurde im Jahre 2007 von der Orgelbaufirma Schantz Organ Company in dem vorhandenen Orgelgehäuse neu erbaut. Das Schleifladen-Instrument bildet mit der Sanctuary Organ zusammen eine Orgelanlage mit 95 klingende Stimmen, zuzüglich 39 transmittierten und exmittierten Registern. Die Spiel- und Registertrakturen sind elektrisch. Einzelnachweise Weblinks Geschichte (Netzpräsenz der Kathedrale, englisch) Virtueller Rundgang mit Informationen (englisch)

Catoctin Mountain Park

Catoctin Mountain Park is a park located in part of the Monocacy Valley and Catoctin Mountain ridge−range that forms the northeastern rampart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the Appalachian Mountains System. The park is approximately 5120 acres or 8 square miles (21 km2) in area. Catoctin Mountain Park is managed by the National Park Service, and lies north of and directly adjacent to the similarly sized Cunningham Falls State Park. History In the 1930s, after years of making charcoal to fuel nearby iron furnaces, mountain farming, and harvesting of trees for timber, land was purchased to be transformed into a productive recreation area, helping to put people back to work during the Great Depression. Beginning in 1935, the Catoctin Recreational Demonstration Area was under construction by both the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps. The northern portion of the park was transferred to the National Park Service on November 14, 1936, and renamed and reorganized on July 12, 1954, with the southern 5,000 acres (20 km2) transferred to Maryland as Cunningham Falls State Park. Bills were introduced in the United States Senate in 2003 and 2005 to re-designate the park as Catoctin Mountain National Recreation Area. The bills passed the Senate, but were not taken up by the House, and therefore did not become law. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. Originally planned to provide recreational camps for federal employees, one of the camps eventually became the home of the Presidential retreat, Camp David. The Presidential retreat is not open or accessible to the public; however, the eastern hardwood forest of Catoctin Mountain Park does have many other attractions for visitors, some of which include camping, picnicking, fishing, 25 miles (40 km) of hiking trails, and scenic mountain vistas.

The Hahn family maintained ownership and gradually enlarged the park. In August 2012, the zoo was fined by the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service $12,000 for numerous violations. In 2013, a giraffe died while on exhibit at the zoo. Worker safety and animal care issues at the zoo have been raised for a number of years.

It offers trails, campsites (family, youth group, and equestrian), a fishing pond, hunting land, and picnic and recreation areas. Trails are available for hikers, bikers and horse riders. The Piscataway Indian Tribe made this section of Southern Maryland its winter camping ground because of the mild climate and abundance of game. The headwaters of the Zekiah Swamp are located in Cedarville. The swamp extends Southward through Charles County for 20 miles, emptying into the Wicomico River. The Swamp is one mile wide and serves as a haven for wildlife. In colonial times and there after efforts were made to drain the swamp for cultivation. Drainage ditches are still evident. To this day, the swamp remains wooded bottom land.

Later 879 more acres were added to bring the total to 3,510 acres. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps, under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, developed roads and trails for fire protection and future access for the development of the area. Plants Cedarville is home to multiple species of carnivorous plants, such as the Drosera rotundifolia (roundleaf sundew) and Sarracenia purpurea (northern pitcher plant). The forest is also home to Sphagnum (sphagnum moss), Rhexia mariana (Maryland meadowbeauty), Polygala (milkwort), and Scutellaria lateriflora (Hyssop skullcap).

Centre at Glen Burnie

The Centre at Glen Burnie is a shopping center in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It is owned by Goodman Properties and managed by 6711 Glen Burnie Retail, LLC a subsidiary of LNR Property Inc. Formerly an enclosed shopping mall, it has the following anchors: Burlington, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, and Target. History The center opened in 1963 as the Glen Burnie Mall, the third shopping mall developed by Edward J. DeBartolo, Sr. At the time of its opening it had Montgomery Ward as an anchor as well as an A&P grocery store, a G.C. Murphy variety store and a single-screen movie theater. The mall's second anchor, a Topps Discount City (a division of Interstate Department Stores), was dedicated in March 1969. This store was shuttered in late 1974. There was also a Dick's Sporting Goods occupying one of the anchor spaces, but it closed in the early 2000s and reopened a few years later across the street. The former sporting goods store was used as a furniture clearance center but closed about a year or two later. Toys "R" Us (another Interstate division) opened a store in the Topps space, as did Baltimore-based Epstein's department store. Toys "R" Us closed its store in 2018 due to Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Half of the Topps space that was occupied by Toys "R" Us became an Ollie's Bargain Outlet in 2018. The half of the former Topps was once occupied by Best Buy, which moved across the street in 2010. The space was then converted into H.H. Gregg in 2011, but it went out of business six years later and closed all locations in 2017. The former H.H. Gregg space was used as a seasonal Spirit Halloween store, but it, along with the former Office Depot next door, has since been turned into a single space for a yet-to-be-named store. Next door was Office Depot, which closed in 2019. A fire damaged the north end of the mall on October 24, 1981. The center, except for Montgomery Ward, was closed while renovations could be completed. The mall re-opened in November 1982. Montgomery Ward went out of business in 2000. In 2002, the mall was sold to Petrie Ventures, which announced plans to tear down the vacant Wards store and built a new Target discount store. The mall also underwent extensive renovations that added outward-facing retail bays. In 2005, the mall was renamed as Centre at Glen Burnie. In 2012, Jones Lang LaSalle was named leasing agent and manager of the center. The property was transferred on March 14, 2016, from the legal entity BACM 2006-5 Ritchie Highway LLC to one known as 6711 Glen Burnie Retail LLC for a book amount of $15M. Both LLC's are, in turn, ultimately owned by Starwood Property Trust LLC in Greenwich, CT. Starwood owns the property through its $1.05 billion acquisition of LNR Property LLC and its subsidiary LNR Partners LLC of Miami, FL in 2013. Shopping center In 2018, renovations were underway to the Centre at Glen Burnie to become an outdoor strip mall. By 2022, the strip mall opened, with the former Dick's Sporting Goods space now demolished. References External links Glen Burnie Glen Burnie Mall Theater DEAD MALL SERIES : Glen Burnie Mall
