Frederick County celebrated Bell & History Day at several museums and parks throughout the county on March 31st and April 1st. At this year's event we had the added bonus of the "Bells of Remembrance", mobile bells that commemorate those who fell in the 9-11 attacks. The bells were located at several places in Frederick County, and I got the opportunity to catch them at the Frederick Information Center before they drove them back to the warehouse in Wilmington DE

The bells are collected and curated by Br. David Schlatter, a Franciscan brother and Fire Station Chaplain. After attending a memorial service in New York one year after 9-11, Brother Schlatter, who prefers David, came up with the idea of mobile bells as a memorial. He has collected 18 bells, which are driven by firefighters who are happy to donate their time and pickup trucks to take the bells to various events throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

The Sock Monkeys are enjoying their snow at Ecclectables in downtown Frederick Md.

I'm not complaining about the 60 degree weather in Frederick today, though, not at all.

Since it has been so cold and rainy and generally gray in Frederick Maryland this January, I thought I'd post some pics of the warm months. Celebrations to look forward to again.

Downtown Frederick is host to many warm weather events, like First Saturday, In the Street, and the Arts Festival. Enjoy the pics:

This is my favorite picture of any...

The old Coca-Cola Bottling Company at 1705 N. Market Street closed in March of 2007, after 60 years at that location. The Coca-Cola Company basically ran out of room. It was used as a warehouse for the next year and then went on the market for sale.

The Old Coca-Cola Bottle was moved from the Frederick Plant to the Hagerstown Plant sometime in 2009.

The building has some historic significance; it is likely one of six facilities built in the late 30's and early 40's by Davis & Platt, Incorporated. Doran S. Platt was likely the actual designer of the building. The Art Deco design was first popular in the 20's.

I think this building would make a fantastic Frederick Condominium Development! With 21,000 square feet, I can imagine 8 to 10 luxury condo's with attached parking garage in the back. I would totally want one!!
