Owner's Story

My grandfather came to Maryland in 1953 with nothing but a suitcase and a job offer at the steel mill in Baltimore. He worked there for forty-one years and never missed a single day, not once, not even when my grandmother was sick. He used to say America was a country that paid you back for honest work, and he believed it down to his bones. He passed in 2019, at 94. I claim this hex in his name. Pop, we still miss you. Every single day.
