Baltimore, Maryland - Edgar Allan Poe House and First Grave The house Edgar Allan Poe lived in during his time in Baltimore and his gravesite (both the original and the relocated site) are in Baltimore. There is the infamous "toaster" who comes every year and leaves a half bottle of scotch and three roses on his grave every year on his birthday. No one makes an effort to identify the toaster -- he is left undisturbed, though there is an infrared photo of the toaster on display in the museum. [Kaitlin McCormick, 09/17/2006]
