Star-spangled Banner

The american national anthem celebrates a sea battle in Baltimore harbor during the 1812 war during which the British/Canadians burnt down the White House, but were turned away from Baltimore. This weekend they are celebrating the events at Fort McHenry, and put on a great firework show to mark our first weekend in the apartment. From the garden balcony, you can also see the Domino Sugar sign, which is enormous - about the size of a basketball court.
