JOHN MASCARO ’ S PHOTO QUIZ
ANSWER
From page 17
I happened upon this tiki bar located outside of Baltimore in my quest to visit every tiki bar on earth . While doing a Google Map search , I was amazed to see photos of coconut palm trees in Maryland and fi gured it was worth investigating . When I arrived , I was horrifi ed to fi nd someone had stolen all the tops to the trees . Vandalism , I thought , perhaps ? As it turns out , this bar ’ s owner has close to 40 assorted palm trees trucked in from Florida each year . The coconut and Alexander palms are planted in the sand “ beach ,” behind the restaurant , where patrons can enjoy them until winter arrives . The fi rst year , they kept them alive as long as they could , but the trees started to look very sad and unhealthy . Now , they simply dead head the palms for the winter and replant them all in the spring . A sad ending for the trees , but they did have great crab cakes .
