William Van Doren, I WENT DOWN TO TANEYTOWN. Sunset from WMC Drive and Taneytown Pike, Westminster, Carroll County, Md. Oil on watercolor block, 13 x 19.

Well, it was the sun, not me, that went down to Taneytown; this was the view west along Taneytown Pike from Westminster, Maryland. Line taken from a pretty good Steve Earle song in which he decided to mispronounce — I mean, change the pronunciation of — Taneytown to suit himself.
