For the restaurants of Fells Point, the recent opening of the $100-million Thames Street Wharf Building on Harbor Point was effectively overnight delivery for 600 new Morgan Stanley mouths to feed lunch. Positioned strategically between the pubs and taverns of lower Fells Point and the more upscale offerings of Harbor East, this new building has no in-house eating facility of its own. There are dozens of easy walks from the building's front door, and one of the closest is RA Sushi Bar Restaurant (1390 Lancaster St., 410-522-3200)

Over lunch at the Capital Grille on Thursday, the two old friends enjoyed an upbeat, forward-looking conversation. Kurt L. Schmoke had the tuna steak salad, Sheila Dixon the salmon with vegetables. Schmoke, a former mayor, imparted an encouraging message to Dixon, the soon-to-be former mayor who announced Wednesday that she will resign as part of a plea with prosecutors to end her corruption case. "I just wanted to remind her there will be better days down the road," said Schmoke, who served as mayor from 1988 to 1999 and is now dean of the Howard University Law School.

There were more servers than customers at Werner's just before noon, and it was very quiet. But it wasn't for long. A half hour later, the luncheonette was almost full of downtown workers. When it closed in April 2011, after 61 years, it looked like the Werner's story had come to a close, and it left downtown Baltimore without a single eatery dating from before the 1960s. The luncheonette, which was opened by Werner Kloetzli Sr. in 1950, was loved for its chrome and maple Art Deco interior.

O'Malley is out to lunch! ("O'Malley: Taxes on the table in 2012," Aug. 21.) When will he ever take any responsibility for anything? It is always the Republicans' fault. Thank goodness he will be gone in three years. In your article, House Speaker Michael E. Busch says that the state has a backlog of $6 billion to $8 billion in school maintenance. OK, I do not deny that estimate, but he goes on to say that if the state were to fund these projects, it would create 25,000 jobs. That comes to $240,000 to $320,000 a job. Great work if you can find it. Only if we had moved forward with slots in 2003!
