One of my favorite memories of my life happened in Portland Maine. I won’t go into too many details because it’s not relevant, but it involved a concert at the historic State Theater in Portland. I have always had a fondness for Portland. It goes all the way back to my younger years going camping with my Grandfather. We’d swing through Portland from time to time.

It’s been a few episodes since we’ve made our way into New England on this show, so let’s go back. I spent the first 18 years of my life living in New Hampshire, and I go back up there fairly often to visit my family. But do you want to hear a secret? This is kind of a source of shame for me. I’ve never been to Rhode Island. True story. I’ve been all around New England but have never made it down to Rhode Island. So, let’s h...

One of my bosses loves Charleston South Carolina. No joke, the other day she came into my studio and said, “I haven’t been to Charleston in two weeks and I think I’m starting to get hives.” She loves it. And I hear that from a lot of people. In fact, another coworker is going down to Charleston soon to take part in a 10K. South Carolina seems to be one of those places that, at least in my area, people love to visit. But the s...

I’ve mentioned before that I live in Baltimore. I’m not a Baltimore native, but I’ve lived here for about 18 years now. One thing I’ve learned in my nearly two decades in Charm City is that people here have no love for Pittsburgh. Really it all stems from the NFL rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers. But I haven’t quite been able to put my finger on why there seems to be so much tension between the two cities. I’ve visited ...

It feels like we’ve been taking a little trip around New York recently. We’ve discussed a few different areas in the Empire State, and now we’re going back. I’ve said before that it feels like New York is really a few different states all combined into one. Each region seems to have it’s own personality.
This week we are going to Rochester. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Rochester before. My brother went to RIT for school and ...

This was a fun one. I spent about 8 years of my life living just outside Philadelphia. There was a period of time where, on the off chance I’d have some time off on a weekend, my friends and I would take a little drive north into Bucks County. There are some beautiful, and funky, spots that were perfect for a little day away.
My personal favorite spot was New Hope. Now, it’s been about 20 years since the last time I was there,...

Let’s go back up to New York. I feel like the state of New York really is like 6 or 7 states combined. There are so many unique areas throughout the state. In this conversation I’m taking a trip up the Hudson River to beautiful Dutchess County.
You might not be familiar with Dutchess County by name, but you know it’s role in the history of this country. Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Franklin D Roosevelt? Or maybe ...

I’ve had a few different conversations on this podcast with different areas in Maryland. It’s the state where I live and work, so it makes sense. I have my own personal biases about what places are the best to visit in this state, and what locations would make great vacation spots. For me, most of those places are near the beach or somewhere out in the lesser populated areas. Today’s conversation opened my eyes to an area that ...

If you’ve been listening to this show, you probably know that I live in Baltimore. I’ve lived here for the last 17 years. But my first 18 years were spent in Southern New Hampshire, right on the border of Massachusetts. I would always tell people that Boston was my city, and I still might say that when the Red Sox are doing well.
And while I feel like I have a pretty good understanding of Massachusetts and all it has to offer, t...

Let’s kick off the new year with some inspiration to get out of your house and hit the railways. I love taking the train. I live in what’s known as the Northeast Corridor. Essentially it’s the area between Washington DC and Boston. The whole route is connected by rail and people often use them to get around. Prices can be cheaper and I find the train to be so much more convenient than flying. I almost always take an Amtrak or...

When I think of Sarasota Florida, the first thing that comes to mind is baseball. I live in Baltimore and the Orioles have their spring training home right there in Sarasota. I think about the Grapefruit League and all the teams that start preparing for their new season under the sunny skies of Florida.
But Sarasota County has more to offer than baseball stadiums. Sarasota County falls just south of Tampa and just north of Fort My...

I remember when I was first getting ready to move to Maryland. Everyone I knew had some kind of comment about the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Those voices got even louder when I officially moved to Baltimore. I couldn’t believe it. How was an aquarium this huge attraction for everyone? All of my old friends and family who visit Baltimore always want to go to the aquarium. Even my wife has told me that when she was younger...

I think it’s fascinating how many beautiful and exciting places there are right in our own backyards that many of us have never seen. This podcast has opened my eyes up to so many things around where I live in Baltimore Maryland. I’ve lived in Maryland for the last 17 years and I’ve had conversations through this podcast about places in this state that I’ve never even seen. I can’t help but think about all of the wonderful thing...

I’ve lived in Baltimore Maryland for the last nearly 17 years, I spent a year in DC and about 8 in Philadelphia. But I grew up in New England. The first 18 years of my life were spent growing up in southern New Hampshire. Like most people in New England, I was really into winter sports. I started snowboarding and spent most of my winters on the mountains of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Living in that area I’d see the bumpe...

My wife and I became parents back in 2020. It’s our first and only child. Our families would ask us what we wanted or needed for her. Aside from the typical things like diapers, formula and some clothing we really couldn’t think of anything. Then my wife had the idea of a membership to the Maryland zoo in Baltimore. We figured our kiddo would love walking around to look at the animals, even though she was still too young to re...

One thing I’m realizing while I do more of these conversations is that there’s a lot about Maryland I don’t know about. I had always thought that I had a pretty good understanding and knowledge about the state. But then I speak with folks like today’s guest and I know that there’s huge pieces of this state I’m missing out on. And I feel bad about that.

It’s easy when you live somewhere to overlook the beauty that’s right in your backyard. I always think back to when I moved to Philadelphia for a few years. One of the things I wanted to see was the Liberty Bell. I asked a friend who had lived in Philly her entire life to go with me one day. She told me she had never seen the Liberty Bell. I was dumbfounded. If you’re not familiar, the Liberty Bell is literally right in the mi...

Are there places on your travel bucket list? I’m sure you’ve got some spots that you’ve always wanted to visit. One of the places I’ve always wanted to see is Cooperstown New York. I grew up around Boston so baseball runs through my veins. The baseball hall of fame has been on my list for so long. I still have this vivid memory of watching A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN for the first time and thinking to myself how badly I wanted to vi...

Through the first 10 episodes of Delightful Destinations, I’ve been lucky enough to speak with a few representatives of counties on what’s known as the Eastern Shore of Maryland. If you’re listening to this podcast and you’re not super familiar with the geography of Maryland, the state is almost kind of split in two by the Susquehanna and the Chesapeake Bay. Both sides of the state have very different styles. The western shore i...

I don’t know about all of you, but this is my favorite time of year. It’s officially football season. Both the professional and collegiate seasons are underway and I’m addicted. My fantasy team could use some help, otherwise I’m a ver happy football fan. With that season underway, I thought it was a perfect time to talk about Alabama. No, not the school or its football team. The state.
