It's funky and fun, particularly if you are in the area. Probably easier to experience then the Zero Gravity Flight plane! While you are in Baltimore, be sure to go to the Visionary Art Museum. It's amazing. You could try the Great Blacks in Wax museum or the Dime Store Museum for the more offbeat. neal np: coasting to the end of my world music show on KUNM with a 30 minute Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan song :) kerry white said: > Hi, I am visiting Baltimore MD and guess now is as good a time to > mention that this weekend I will be in Florida and taking the "Zero > Gravity Flight plane".
