Edward Gunts: Drawing: not a lost art for architects

Even in an age when most architectural design work is carried out on computers, many architects still draw by hand at least part of the time. As a precursor to the city's annual Artscape festival later this month, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation is presenting four exhibits on Sunday to display the range of work architects produce when they aren't sitting in front of a computer terminal. All four exhibits will be open that day within one block from each other in midtown.

Sascha Wolhandler

Sascha Wolhandler describes herself as "an aging prom queen." However, most of Baltimore knows her as the dynamic caterer/restaurateur behind the 25-year-old Sascha's Catering and 8-year old Sascha's 527 Cafe, both of which she runs with her husband, Steve Suser. Wolhandler also works as a food stylist on movies filmed around Baltimore. Currently, she is doing just that for the Renee Zellweger/Chris Noth film, My One And Only, now in production here. Wolhandler and Suser live in Fells Point.

They came. They bobbed - some awkwardly. They sang. "Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you."

The smoker's retreat

While the last cigarette won't go out in a Baltimore bar for two more months, some city bar owners have been hard at work, looking for ways to follow the statewide ban without forcing smokers - some of their most loyal customers - out onto the street.
