The Broadway Market stands in the middle of the street, a short walk from the Admiral Fell. The market's a comfortable place and a good source of coffee and fresh pastry for breakfast. At Broadway's foot is a huge new pier where you can catch a water taxi over to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The late-winter morning we were there, a tugboat was tied to the pier, its port side sheathed in several inches of ice. It's still a working waterfront.
Tugs get underway and they toot and they whistle.
We get Navy ships and people come and look at them, and we get a lot of the classic vessels. It's the area where those ships pulled up forever. Oh, about the hotel's name. Widman chose to make Fell an admiral because it moved the hotel's name up in the alphabet and associated the hotel with water. Jim's wife and Bob Eney chided him for playing with history.
