A friend of mine mentioned on Facebook he was in Portland, I asked him "will a Voodoo Doughnut be consumed?" and he said "what's that?"
I told him I didn't know him anymore.

The Doughnut Vault (401 N. Franklin St. Chicago, IL no phone avail) has big, piping hot, chewy, delicious doughnuts in a few simple old fashioned flavors. They sell out pretty much every day so it pays to get there early. I can only go once in a blue moon because they are too good!

They would certainly be a stop on a trip to Baltimore or a long weekend in the area.
If you do go, turn left as soon as you walk in the market--that is where the donuts are made to perfection. To your right will be a wonderful bakery.

(The link mentions Cockeysville, but the site also talks about Hagerstown. Its Cockeysville/Hunt Valley I am talking about here.)

Carol Lee in Blacksburg, VA
In Blacksburg, VA, there was a doughnut shop outside of the university called Carol Lee. They had to have been the best doughnuts I've ever tasted that was not mass produced (ie Krispy Kreme). I am sad to have learned that they have closed, a casualty of the economic recession.
I've been on the west coast for a couple of months on business, but Carol Lee is the first place I'll stop when I return in a couple of weeks.

Not so! Carol Lee is very much a going concern, though they have moved from downtown to North Main (I'm told -- we moved in since then).
