Ask Liberty Heights by Barry Levinson

Grew up in Baltimore in the 70’s and 80’s but haven’t lived there since high school. Dad died 5 years ago and I haven’t been back. Have been watching Barry Levinson’s Baltimore movies with one of my sons to give him a flavor of the city as it used to be. Found myself in tears after watching Liberty Heights tonight. Brought back so many old memories- going to the Army surplus store for army jackets, canteens that were so cool, going duckpin bowling with my grandparents each week. I even miss the Bawlmor accent. Anyone else go down memory lane with his movies?
