A very famous tradition associated with this location came to an end this year . What ?
Quoting Manu Sathian ,
“Every year since 1949, a stranger – known locally as the Poe Toaster – has left three roses and a half-bottle of cognac on Edgar Allan Poe’s grave in Baltimore on his birthday. The roses are believed to represent the three bodies buried beneath the monument – Poe, his mother-in-law and his wife Virginia; the significance of the cognac is not known.
This year he failed to show up this tradition as 2009 marked the bicentennial of Poe’s birth”
