Poe mystery revealed? Pity.

Like several of my fellow Baltimoreans, I’m a bit sad that the enduring mystery of the person who leaves roses and cognac on Edgar Allen Poe’s grave every year has apparently been partially solved. It was one of those random cool things about my home town, like the Bromo-Seltzer Tower and Homicide: Life on the Street. I always hoped nobody would discover the mystery toaster’s identity.

Ah well. It could always turn out not to be true after all. At any rate, I hope new mystery toasters carry on the tradition.
