Merchants set records as Sailabration boosts city business
By Lorraine Mirabella, The Baltimore Sun
Jimmy’s Restaurant in Fells Point ran out of hot dogs, potato salad and macaroni salad and scrambled to replenish all weekend as hordes of hungry Sailabration visitors jammed the popular diner.
Even on Monday, as rain moved in after days of sunshine, the crowds kept coming on the last full day of the Star-Spangled Sailabration, which kicked off the two-year commemoration of the War of 1812.
