The minor heat wave of the past few days has broken, as it's a brisk
49 degrees with some pretty impressive winds.
As a matter of fact, I was talking to vendors Donald Brewer and Colin Leech as they manned their food stand on Conway Street when a particularly big gust nearly blew their canopy down the street. The thing was tied down with cables.
As Leech, of Catonsville, described it, "Mother Nature just threw high and inside on us."
Brewer, from Reisterstown, has been selling food outside Camden Yards since 1996, and the Conway Street stand has been open since 1999. He got to the stand at about 7 a.m. His first sale? A Country Time lemonade at 7:30.
