The Return of Blob's Park

Maryland's beloved beer garden and polka hall known as "Blob's Park" went dark in 2008 after more than seventy years in business. But planned development of the site has been delayed because of the economic slowdown, meaning that Blob's Park is back -- at least for now. Join us as we tour a place where beer, bratwurst and polka dancing reign supreme.
