Fort Armistead, Baltimore, Maryland

Old military defenses make for good exploration–the cumbersome, concrete, utilitarian. When they are decorated elaborately by taggers, it creates an interesting visual. The ruins are easily accessible, adjacent to the parking lot.

But please take note, it is a gay cruising spot. As I drove down to access the isolated space, many onlookers parked in the area took notice of me. An older man approached me right away to provide an explanation of the place so I wouldn’t be surprised I suppose. While I was there briefly, I saw several lone men walk through the ruins. I left relatively quickly to not intrude/witness anything I wouldn’t want to witness.
