Generically known as “formstone” a sort of “stamped stucco” remains on the street-facing exterior of many (row)homes in Baltimore, Maryland. It was applied widely from the 1930s to the 1960s. But as many of Baltimore’s urban areas experienced renewal in the late ’90s-early ’00s it became the norm to remove the now/then archaic finish. I have heard it said that formstone spread as wildly as a band-aid fix for the “cheap brick” used in the construction of many rowhomes. Rumor has it that some of these homes, built in the early part of the 20th century, employed brick salvaged from Baltimore’s Fire of 1904. [ . . . ]
Science being quick to offer speculative theories has had no success explaining the relationship, if any, between The Plumbers Crack and the Mariana Trench. Both sizable fissures that have denied explorers for the last century. The Mariana Trench has recently been photographed and been found to contain undiscovered species of deep water fish; the Plumbers Crack however has not been proven to support life and further study is hampered by a lack of volunteers. Studies of the Plumbers Crack will continue when technology catches up to the demands of science and an unmanned vehicle can be employed for these explorations. [ . . . ]
