Did you know that in 1951, Ellicott City served as the background for a movie loosely based on the life of Marilyn Monroe? Big hat tip to my friend Josh Tzuker who brought this to my attention. It is always fun to see places you recognize on the big screen, but even more fun to get in a time machine back to when the place you know looked a lot differently.
You can see a lot of Ellicott City in "part 1", but feel free to watch parts 2 through 9 on YouTube.
