Our first WNST Ravens reporter Tim Watts joins Nestor at Greenmount Station on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for memories of turn of the century Baltimore sports glory and tales of tailgates, football players, charity events and pictures that capture the evidence – for better or worse.
We did our best and this remains the pride of all of the work of Nestor Aparicio: exposing the truth about the awfulness of the Orioles ownership stewardship of the Baltimore Orioles over three decades. The “FREE THE BIRDS” rally was held on September 21, 2006. It was 18 years ago and the team has posted just four winning seasons since then. Peter Angelos heard the voices of the Baltimore baseball fans that day. So did most of America…
If you were in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, you were probably down at the river meeting us the for greatest purple march in the history of the Baltimore Ravens fan base. Thousands of you met us at the Natchez down at the Mississippi River to march 17 blocks at 2:52 to watch Joe Flacco throw and the lights go out at the Superdome. Where were you in the parade of purple on Poydras? Got any pictures? Send them our way and help us share the memories of the greatest event in the history of WNST and Baltimore Positive.
Sure, David Richardson runs the Greenmount Bowl in Hampstead where duckpins are readily available but whenever Nestor returns to Carroll County he summons the Executive Director of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen Association to educate all of us on the changing state of Pimlico, Preakness and horse racing in Maryland.
The numbers don’t lie. There is real progress on crime in Baltimore City and City Council President Zeke Cohen shares his thoughts on progress and the hope for a brighter future in the Charm City with Nestor at MACo in Ocean City on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.
Longtime civic leader Barry Williams returns for “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” to educate Nestor about the future of the Pikesville Armory Project, designed to serve the community for generations to come after being an historic piece of the area recently abandoned and unused. Always looking to the future…
It’s an election season and we’re welcoming plenty of political candidates and sitting elected officials onto the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Councilman Mark Conway has told us about his challenges and triumphs in the 4th District of Baltimore City and now is focused on running for the current seat of Congressman Kweisi Mfume in the 7th U.S. Congressional District, encompassing large parts of the city and edges of the county.
As our friend Dan Rodricks opens his latest sold-out Baltimore-themed theatre project, we welcomed Vanessa Eskridge and Chris Riehl from the cast of “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966” for a Maryland Crab Cake Tour stop to discuss the theme and background of the project at Gertrude’s at The Baltimore Museum of Art where the show plays this week.
The return of 2nd District Councilman Izzy Patoka to the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Honey’s in Halethorpe provided Nestor a clear view of his key campaign issues and goals in a spring run as a Democratic candidate to be the next Baltimore County Executive.

The Maryland Crab Cake Tour took on a new twist once Nestor finally made it to Gertrude’s Chesapeake Kitchen at The Baltimore Museum of Art. Chef and proprietor John Shields and Mercedes Lopez of the BMA discuss how family, art, culture and crab cakes all come together in one awesome – and free – museum in the heart of Baltimore.
This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you’re an invite and a taste away because he’s en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey’s in Halethorpe invited us over and must’ve known that offering “Crabby Toast” would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
This #TastyNes place is not a secret to the savvy eaters of delicious Mexican fare on the east side of town. Nestor goes to Rosedale for another sweet indulgence right at the front counter at Fiesta Mexicana just south of what used to be Golden Ring Mall. One, two, three milks…
If you don’t know about the invasive catfish population eating all of the baby crabs and fish (and anything else) in the Chesapeake Bay, we’re here to educate you on why you’re seeing more of it in the market and on the table at local restaurants. Let Damye and Alicia at Faidley’s Seafood at Lexington Market tell you how we can eat our way to a better bay!
The sign on the door says: ONLY NICE PEOPLE ALLOWED! And somehow Marcella Knight and the awesome folks at Koco’s Pub were still nice enough to allow us to celebrate their 40th Anniversary that required some #TastyNes Koconut Shrimp along on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour from the heart of Lauraville with tales of our favorite things to eat in Baltimore along with our favorite Ko-Host, sports cartoonist Ricig.

It’s been quite a week for the fashion-forward sports fans of Baltimore. Our pal and sports brand artist Todd Radom joins Nestor to discuss the Ravens Next Flight uniforms and helmet variations and the City Connect” concept for Orioles fans. Let’s peek inside how the mind of an artist, the heart of a billionaire, the wants and needs of Nike, “properties” and how the churn of reality and sales shifts the times, shadows and “laundry” of your favorite team and league.
Republican candidate for Baltimore County Executive Patrick Dyer tells Nestor why he’s running for Baltimore County Executive at Costas Inn at Timonium Racetrack on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour as we prepare for state wide primary elections on June 23rd here in Maryland.
When the Preakness isn’t in Baltimore, only has 4,800 attendees and might not have the Kentucky Derby winner (again), it’s incumbent that we find the brightest and most veteran minds and industry observers to examine every aspect of what the hell is going on with the middle leg of the Triple Crown, which was once the annual Charm City Super Bowl and has lost its luster beyond recognition. Lifer horse racing insider and Baltimorean via Philly, Dick Jerardi returns for the 35th consecutive spring to give Nestor a full perspective on future of Preakness and Triple Crown and what’s at stake in the largest Stakes race in our state.
You don’t have to be a fan of Cheech and Chong or have an old movie where the clocks are set to 4:20 to know that April 20th and the 4/20 date have always been associated with a green plant with leaves. Grace Hyde of District Cannabis discusses a 420 petition to make April 20th a national holiday in America that’s no joke – but we all do find it humorous!
Sports fashion is always subjective and Luke Jones and Nestor usually have strong opinions on weak ownership and league cash grabs whenever teams role out a “new look” with alternate jerseys, helmets and colors. This time, however, both agreed they were mostly pleasantly underwhelmed about the over-hyped “Next Flight” branding of the new Baltimore Ravens’ markings. Subtle, and fine…
We still love the OG Dundalk location of Costas Inn but coming up on the first anniversary of the “new” Timonium location we sidled up to the bar inside the racetrack grandstand and adjacent to the OTB to discuss the upcoming horse racing Triple Crown season and all of the things that Pete Triantafilos has learned in expanding his father and family’s vision for the hospitality that has made the name “Costas” legendary in Baltimore seafood circles.
It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Bodeans founder Kurt Neumann, who brings the 40th Anniversary of “Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams” magic to Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on May 8th. Plenty of good things and good work of the music, touring with U2 and recording with T Bone Burnett with one of Nestor’s all-time favorite bands and singer/songwriters, whose first love was beating on the drums.
As the Orioles continue to play .500 ball through the first month of the season, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the slugging woes, lack of offensive productivity and a near no-hitter to begin a road trip through Cleveland and Kansas City.
It was Nestor who took to Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Wednesday afternoon with some observations about the new “look” of the ballpark and a day when all of the 42s of Jackie Robinson needed a scorecard to see who was making the errors that cost them the game. Luke Jones discusses the outfield defense and injury problems as Cleveland is next up for the Birds as .500 feels about right.
Our Luke Jones attended the annual Pre-Draft Luncheon and Presser in Owings Mills and Nestor had some questions and observations for the event he dubbed “The Liars Luncheon” 25 years ago as an homage to the Alibi Breakfast of Preakness week. Plenty of needs, wants and picks to discuss as the NFL Draft looms large next weekend in Pittsburgh.
In the first of what Orioles fans hope will be many-more grand slam home runs this season, it was Jeremiah Jackson’s blast on Monday night that set off the $5,000 salami for a lucky Home Run Riches contestant. Seth Elkin of The Maryland Lottery gives Nestor the big fly realities of Home Run Riches and why we all dig the long ball.
“Every night there’s a different star, that’s the magic of Orioles baseball…” It’s not every night that the Baltimore Orioles will battle back from a 7-1 deficit to win but when they do, it makes baseball fun again at Camden Yards. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the old-school Orioles Magic of Monday night’s comeback win over Diamondbacks and the star power of Jeremiah Jackson and Pete Alonso to make an early-season memory for Birds fans.
It’s been too long since we shared a crab cake chat with Baltimore lawyer Steve Miles, whose television advertising and advocacy for regular humans four decades ago is well remembered around town. Here at Faidley’s, Nestor and the former assistant state’s attorney “talk about it” in discussing the state of the world and issues, solutions and the law in America amidst Trump’s obvious criminality and protection by Congress.
With the NFL Draft approaching next week and a bunch of players on the Baltimore Ravens roster already in the building and working in Owings Mills, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the changing times with Jesse Minter establishing whatever the “new” rules will be in the purple castle. We wonder what those might be in the aftermath of two decades of Camp Hardball.
Given the weekend’s injuries to Adley Rutschman, Ryan Mountcastle and Tyler O”Neill to add to Zach Eflin’s Tommy John surgery last week, not much is ideal for rookie manager Craig Albernaz and the Baltimore Orioles just three weeks into a chaotic season of attrition. But, after taking two of three from the San Francisco Giants at Camden Yards, Luke Jones and Nestor are more than satisfied with the over .500 run in a mediocre-so-far division.
With us watching the “new” Lexington Market come to life in recent years and always centered up at Faidley’s Seafood for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, we loved our visit with Shaina Hernandez, who gives Nestor a primer and overview on all of the Baltimore Markets and their tasty offerings for locals to patronize and enjoy. Mark it down and get to one of the city’s fabulous markets!
While we’re wearing the throwbacks – and often throw up when we see the newer designs – Luke Jones and Nestor get off the lawn and do a proper Fashion Week show from Faidley’s as the Orioles’ City Connect green and orange drop and the Ravens drop their mysterious new rebrand and threads coming later this week. High fashion and delicious crab cakes from Lexington Market.
I met Priscilla but when do I get to meet you? I want to give my Truist trust to the next real owner of the Baltimore Orioles but when an out-of-towner starts buying “free” beer to fund a cheap social media stunt, we should all be leery in the Charm City. And I’ve met ’em all…
Attorney Steve Miles tells Nestor why he’s still in Baltimore as he celebrates his 83rd birthday with us at Faidley’s Seafood on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Nothing better than spending time with the wisdom of old friends who never seem to age at all.
Two months ago, you shook my hand all doe-eyed, took my Baltimore Positive business card at a local networking function that I actively participate in with a great group of community folks monthly, somehow believably feigned that “we’d be in touch” – I took you at your word – and then your bush league team sent along ridiculously insincere replies (or none at all) and your mostly unprofessional Lieutenants have all lined up to pretend that I don’t exist or that my questions on behalf of your fans are somehow irrelevant. I’m here holding a mirror up for you. That’s my role. You hold the power; I hold it accountable. Always…
I would’ve fired you last May when you fired your manager and then hid for three days. Your “leadership” stinks but I do believe your baseball team can be a playoff contender this summer. But on the heels of last place, at some point the record belongs to you…
Our longtime friend and television executive Jim Williams returns to examine the evolving and quickly changing MLB media model as MASN disintegrates and 10 teams were searching for local ways to distribute 162 baseball games in each market. Here, Nestor gets a professional MLB primer on money, networks and our future of watching the games from outside the stadium.
The loss of Zach Eflin will be a big blow to the entire Orioles pitching operation and plans. But the sweep of the White Sox and some home weather and the Giants and Diamondbacks coming to Camden Yards makes the season feel alive again after the disaster in Pittsburgh.
What classic rock rocker hasn’t played air guitar to “Just Between You And Me”? So when Nestor got a chance to chat about the Montreal side of April Wine as they hit the road with the triumphant return of Triumph this spring, he had plenty of questions for Brian Greenway, who joined the band in 1977 and continues to bring the music to the masses.
After a sloppy weekend sweep in Pittsburgh, the Orioles took advantage of decent pitching and cold bats in Chicago, closing out a trio of wins that buoys the upcoming home stand against San Francisco and Arizona with some renewed optimism. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all elements of a Birds team that is navigating a choppy start to the season with more injuries and help needed on the mound.
In the heat of the night, Canadian musician Luke Doucet got a heavenly call from legendary Bryan Adams to join his band – but he had to learn 26 songs in three days and meet them to play in Puerto Rico in 72 hours. Nestor saw three of those magical South American shows in Montevideo, Santiago and Bogota and tracked down Sarah McLachlan’s regular guitar player in Toronto to have him tell one of the greatest rock and roll stories ever told. It was more than a one night love affair for the reckless kid who wanted to rock from Winnipeg…
As part of our fun chatting with Canadian musicians and legends this spring, we welcomed Derry Grehan of Honeymoon Suite for a visit to discuss the old MTV and Much Music days and a new album, “Wake Me Up When The Sun Goes Down.” Who didn’t love the song and video “New Girl Now”? Time to feel it again…
