For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg

For dinner this evening, Caroline, Grammy and returned to Buttersburg. It was too fun. 

It is great to be alive in the year 2017. Jim Rowe had posted on my Facebook page that he had baked a cherry custard pie. 

I had planned to stay in the office and work through dinner with a sandwich. However, with the information that a cherry custard pie was available, 

Caroline weighed-in, the presses stopped and all plans were changed. 

Jim Rowe greeted us at the door, and seated us in the back. We had a great dinner. 

Caroline ordered salmon cakes, Grammy got the soft shell crab again and I went for the meatloaf. Meatloaf is a specialty dish for both Caroline and me, so we know meatloaf – and it was the best. 

Our server was Tessa Howard – the best. 

For dessert, Caroline and Grammy had the cherry custard pie and I had the carrot cake. It was to die for. 

Frank Tunzi came out from the kitchen to say hi, and to remind us that he made the flowers for our wedding. He even remembered all the details. (I know flowers – it was my business for 25-years.) 

And for a bonus, we got to see Stephen Howard, who was helping-out in the kitchen of whom, I was just reminded, is Larry L Brumfield's son. It is a small world. 

It's great to live in Carroll County. Love, love, love Buttersburg Inn.

Carroll Magazine Union Bridge: The Little Town That Could Apr 1, 2005 Written By Leslie Eckard

Carroll Magazine Union Bridge: The Little Town That Could Apr 1, 2005 Written By Leslie Eckard

Labels: Carroll Co Dist Union Bridge, Journalists, Journalists Eckard Leslie, Media Carroll Magazine

Ms. Leslie Eckard just called to my attention an article she had written on Union Bridge for Carroll Magazine in 2005.

I have just filed a story on Union Bridge and the Western Maryland Railway – and the railway museum in Union Bridge. I had dinner at the “Original Pizza” and posted some pictures on Facebook…

Union Bridge: The Little Town That Could

Posted By CM on Apr 1, 2005

Written By Leslie Eckard

Be sure to read the entire article here: http://carrollmagazine.com/union-bridge-the-little-town-that-could/

Highlights:

Community spirit and innovation run like parallel train tracks in Union Bridge. The area is a study in contrasts: a hard scrabble land of rock and swamp that inspires works of art; a town poised for a growth spurt while holding on fiercely to its heritage.

Located on the Piedmont Plateau in western Carroll County, Union Bridge has retained its population (approximately 1,000) and small-town feel for generations. With its one stoplight and absence of fast-food restaurants, coffee bars, and strip malls–it is a throwback to a simpler time…

[…]

Other improvements included the establishment of Little Pipe Creek Park, a wetlands preserve complete with a bicycle and walking trail…

[…]

Union Bridge has a long-standing tradition of community spirit. In 1820, early descendants of the original settler, William Farquhar, worked together to build a bridge that would span the swamp and join their lands together.

[…]

Between 1855 and 1862, with the coming of the Western Maryland Railroad, the population of the town exploded…

[…]

Another Union Bridge “import” and fan is Angelo Monteleone, whose restaurant, Original Pizza, is a must-see…

We enjoyed our food. The service was great. Our server was very friendly. There are plenty of tables which is good because a steady stream of customers visited while we were there.

“Original Pizza” is bright, clean, and well maintained. It has all manner of great Union Bridge history memorabilia, pictures, artifacts, and mementos. It is like eating at a museum cafeteria.

It sits across the intersection from the sculpture at the corner of North Main Street and East Broadway, which is a reproduction of “Love Reconciled with Death” by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874.)

Stop by and tell them Mayor Perry Jones’ Uncle Kevin sent you.

William Rinehart's artwork can be seen at the Historical Society of Carroll Co.

June 22, 2015

Historical Society of Carroll County recently wrote, “A recent Baltimore Sun article [http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html – “Remembering Carroll's statuesque and statue sculptor,” by Kevin E. Dayhoff – Eagle Archives] notes that ‘the work of Rinehart, meantime, can be seen in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.’

An earlier form of Rinehart's sensitive bust of his mother was the first evidence of the young artist's talent. After his mother's death in 1868, he sent home for the work and for one of her caps. The artist prepared several plaster-casts of the new bust for presentation to his brothers and a marble one for himself. This example was probably given to his older brother Evan Thomas who gave it to his daughter, the donor.

Many would be surprised to learn that Blaze Starr, who passed away on June 15, is not the only creative statuesque figure with a Carroll County connection.

Another famous Carroll County artist, William Henry Rinehart, now has his works of sculpture on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.

Statues and statuesque in Carroll County

By Kevin E. Dayhoff – Eagle Archives, Carroll Eagle – Baltimore Sun. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

Many would be surprised to learn that Blaze Starr, who passed away on June 15, is not the only creative statuesque figure with a Carroll County connection.

Another famous Carroll County artist, William Henry Rinehart, now has his works of sculpture on display at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.

Starr was a famous stripper and burlesque performer, another exhibitor of sorts. According to an article in the Sun, "In her day [she] was perhaps Baltimore's best-known figure." She was "a successful businesswoman as owner of the 2 O'Clock Club on East Baltimore Street, [who] was so nonthreatening to local morals that she appeared in an advertising campaign for Baltimore Gas and Electric Co."

A national celebrity, many locales throughout the country claim her, including New Orleans, where she had a torrid affair with the then-governor of Louisiana, Earl Long.

While she began a lifelong relationship with Baltimore in 1950, many may not be aware that for many years she called Eldersburg, in southern Carroll County, her home.

An artist of many talents, she was a striking redhead who was friendly and talkative. She also owned a store at the then-Carrolltowne Center, where she sold her handmade jewelry. That was where this writer interviewed her on several occasions in the 1980s.

The work of Rinehart, meantime, can be "seen … in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art," according to the Walters Art Museum website.

Rinehart was born into a prosperous farming family in Union Bridge on Sept. 13, 1825 Read more here: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/carroll/westminster/ph-ce-eagle-archives-0621-20150619-story.html

The annual event is a time-honored tradition that goes back to the beginning of the current fire company in Westminster, which was incorporated on Jan. 29, 1879, in the midst of enormous contention after a series of disastrous fires between 1857 and 1879, when there was no fire company in town.

Much of the time, history can be the dry stuff of names and facts or memorized dates found in textbooks. Nothing can bring history alive more than our own memories or growing up listening to the recollections of our parents or grandparents.

While we were in Union Bridge for dinner on July 5, 2007, we had the opportunity to study and admire the sculpture at the corner of North Main Street and East Broadway, which is a reproduction of “Love Reconciled with Death” by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874.)

Reproduction of “Love Reconciled with Death” by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart Corner of North Main Street and East Broadway Kevin Dayhoff July 5, 2007

According to an undated brochure, “Union Bridge Walking Tour,” which I retrieved in June 2009:

“‘Love Reconciled with Death’ was sculpted by Union Bridge native William Henry Rinehart (1825-1874) as a memorial to the wife of Baltimore art connoisseur and philanthropist, William T. Walters.

“The original sculpture is located in Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore. The memorial was selected by the Town of Union Bridge to be reproduced and installed in 2007 as a tribute to the sculptor.

“Rinehart was born into a farming family near Union Bridge and became known as one of America's most-skilled nineteenth-century sculptors. One of his best-known works is the relief known as The History of Justice on the bronze doors of the United States Senate Chamber in Washington.”

Dayhoff – Eagle Archives] notes that ‘the work of Rinehart, meantime, can be seen in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.’

An earlier form of Rinehart's sensitive bust of his mother was the first evidence of the young artist's talent. After his mother's death in 1868, he sent home for the work and for one of her caps. The artist prepared several plaster-casts of the new bust for presentation to his brothers and a marble one for himself. This example was probably given to his older brother Evan Thomas who gave it to his daughter, the donor.
