Anne Thomas: It's a restaurant now; I ate there a few years ago; the food was wonderful.
Richard Palmer: That [Anges] was a bad one. it even uncovered the old roadbed of the first rail of the old mainline. There was a rainstorm thru the Patapsco valley from Frederick down which changed everything in 1868, 21 inches of rain in an hour which did a lot more damage than any hurricane that hit Maryland since the Europeans first came her in mid 1500's, before the English there were spanish explorers and then came French trappers years before the English settled here in a Catholic lrish colony of Lord Baltimore.
