  3. Fort McHenry and the banner that still waves

    After reading this week's criticism of how the National Park Service and the Fort McHenry administration have been dealing with the constraints of sequestration, I would remind critics that despite the site's obvious attraction to runners, walkers and others, Fort McHenry is not primarily a recreational site ("Fort McHenry bungles the sequester," June 5).

  4. Don't blame Fort McHenry for the sequester

    Fort McHenry National Monument commemorates the Battle of Baltimore and Francis Scott Key's creation of The Star-Spangled Banner. There were more than 640,000 visitors to the fort in 2011, and they spent $44 million in the Baltimore area. Fort McHenry, like our other national parks, generates critical tourism dollars.

  9. A better way for Ft. McHenry to handle the sequester

    Fort McHenry has a two-fold function. One, it's an historical landmark that is preserved by the National Park Service. Two, its a public park that offers open space with a great waterfront location. Those of us in the downtown, Federal Hill and Locust Point areas frequent the park, many on a daily basis, for walking, running, bicycling, picnics and respite from the concrete, paved world that we live in. Use of the park as a place for exercise without the danger of being run over by a bus is essential to the health of many city dwellers, many of whom work and can't get to the park before 6 p.m. most days.

  10. No excuse for reduced Fort McHenry hours

    It's summer again and the new hours for Fort McHenry were posted on the fort's gate, and guess what? The hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Does that surprise anyone? It does me. Last year's hours were from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I inquired why the significant change, and I got the infamous word, "sequestration." That answer is nonsense.

  11. Keep Baltimore promenade dream alive

    In the summer of 1989, the Baltimore Harbor Promenade opened officially. It began with a 3-mile walk from the Canton Waterfront Park and concluded at Rash Field in the Inner Harbor. "The Promenade was designed as a permanent public pedestrian walkway with accompanying landscaping along the harbor's edge. When completed, it was to be 7.5 miles long and reach the Baltimore Museum of Industry." That quote came from Mayor Kurt Schmoke's administration.
