Poe at 200

Today marks the 200th birthday of Edgar Allan Poe, the first great writer America produced. This date and this writer are special to me because Alyse and I went to Poe's grave in Baltimore on our very first date. We returned on Poe's 179th birthday seven weeks later. The Poe 'toaster' was several hours ahead of us.

There are 2-3 cities who claim Poe to be theirs. I think they don't care about E.A. Poe as much as they do the tourism money.
