Another Rt. 40 site of architectural interest that fell victim to my curse. Shortly after the Bata shoe factory was demolished (see entry for Belcamp, MD), I developed a crush on the West End Gardens Motel west of Elkton. Immediately thereafter, the building was resurfaced and re-painted a rather drab tan color. Ugh.

There’s a building I like now in Aberdeen, but if I admit my crush publicly, it, too, may fall victim to my curse.

Belcamp is the former site of a Bauhaus-inspired Bata shoe factory that stood along Rt. 40. The factory, long since closed, was demolished in 2004 to make way for office buildings and condominiums.

Belcamp is not worth visiting anymore.

Did anyone else think Edinburgh smelled like tomato soup? I thought it did. I craved tomato soup for a week after visiting Edinburgh.

It’s a good thing for Edinburgh that I like tomato soup.
