I have not heard the name Ellicott City for a good thirty years or so . I was visiting my Uncle who lived on what I believe was called Fox Den Drive not far from or possibly part of Ellicot City back in the seventies , too long ago to remember for sure . [/align] I never saw a town built on such a steep hillside like that city was built , or it was more a deep valley if remember right . I bought a newspaper in one of the shops there showing pictures of the flood that struck there I believe sometime in the seventies ?? I would have to find the newspaper again to be sure . Anyway , there was actually a picture of a flood victim on the front page , all you could see was his feet , the rest of him was buried under the mud . I still can not believe someone had the gull to do such a thing as show someone's loved like that in a newspaper . I still have that newspaper someplace around here .[/align] Also while we were there , I took my two children to a park called the Enchanted Forest . Can anyone tell me if that place still exists ? One of the neatest parks I had ever seen for children . Its theme was nursery rhymes characters and setups depicting them among other things . I have pictures of it from when we were there so many years ago . And if you think I butted into your conversation , pardon me in advance !! It was not my plan to do so .

hi kevin and LC, thanks for looking, i can say i got the violin bottle for $5.00. i took a chane that it would tumble even tho it was an odd shape. came out pretty good. LC, don't mind talking about ellicott city, super cool old place. your right about the steep hills. try climeing up one with a load of bottles in your back pack[8D]. that was haurricane agnes that went thru in the 70's. they still have part of the enchanted forrest there. take care, rhona

Best thing about ellicot city is that native stone they used for the buildings. A very unique look. Whenever i'm there I always think , this would be a bad place to be in a flash flood[;)]

LC,

The Enchanted Forest is an interesting story. My parents took me there when I was younger back in the 70's. The front entrance and some of the park are still there. Some of the park was sold off and made into a shopping center. The woods and the neat houses and characters sat and rotted for 20 years or so. A petting farm off of Rt 108 ( Elioaks Farm) gathered volunteers and removed most of the remaining structures and moved them to their petting farm. All of the structures, etc were restored and painted by corporate sponsers and volunteers. I take may kids there now and it is nice to see the old houses and figurines redone. This farm saved part of the Enchanted Forest memories. During the summer you should see how crowded the place is. Thought you would enjoy this. Here is a link to there web site.
