OK, so the big news in Downtown Frederick, is the keys, for the love of god, the keys. It isn't just one key or even a set of keys for that matter, but rather several massive single keys painted by different artists and placed periodically around the downtown area. They are artistically painted and interesting to look at, if they were in gallery, not a street where they look as if a small child could kick them over at any moment. You may think the "Keys to Frederick" have added a "hometown feel" to the area. Well your wrong, they have added not only a hideous sidewalk obstruction but also a "something fun to do" on Friday nights for punk kids. Recently the keys were vandalized. And, while I seriously detest the hideousness of them, I would not have recommended vandalizing them either.

Unfortunately, the keys to Frederick will not be going anywhere anytime soon. They will live in the paths of Frederickians and tourists for years to come. So, when you find yourself wandering around the downtown area, please be sure to watch out for the god forsaken keys because they will get you in your way, and when they do and you get done cursing out the mammoth keys, take a look at them, because while they may be over-sized and poorly designed they do possess some creative art.
