Thanks, figured it was a local thing but always wondered.

Gotta say, Gorsuch-Gate was a big letdown for all of us.
We were all hoping the word meant something fantastically cool in Hungarian or something...but it's just a street name??? Dang, that sucks.

Darren, I was thinking it might be something like a grotto, boy was I disappointed!🤣. This ole Kansas boy has been racking his brain for a few years trying to figure it out.

First land patent in Baltimore vicinity was granted to Charles Gorsuch. Read the history of the family is very interesting. I’m sure the Gorsuch family is the reason for the street name. The name is of Old English origin.

Day 117 – 27 April 2024
My final Gorsuch House item is a Matchbook. The matchbook says Brooks Robinson on the front cover. On the back it says, “Your host for Maryland’s Finest Foods” with address. On the top it has a phone and the phone number. Inside it describes the restaurant with “Chilled Cocktails…Exquisite Cusine that will delight the plate of the most Exacting Gourmet, and served to you by our well experienced and friendly staff. I trust your appetite will be surfeit.” It then says, “Catering to….Dinner Parties, Cocktail Parties and Wedding Parties…Your Host Brooks Robinson.” The matchbook is in great shape with all the matches.

It appears my Gorsuch House posts are not that interesting given the comments. Ha! I am hoping Scott will find that menu and donate it to me.

Charles I like the items and finding a sign from his restaurant would be awesome. We had a restaurant in Wichita called the big leaguer. It was owned by Daryl Spencer and I found a picture of a menu that had Brooks and Boog on it. It was right after the 66 World Series. Would love to find one of those. Daryl was the one I got my Brooks hat from I told you about.
