Five facts about a few neighborhoods
1. "Squeakness". Pigtown honors its porcine past with the Running of the Pigs at its annual neighborhood festival.
2. Legacy. Jazz greats Billie Holiday and Cab Calloway played clubs along Pennsylvania Avenue, the historic heart of the city's African American community.
3. Joyous. Hampden's "Miracle on 34th Street" refers to a holiday lighting tradition, and not to the popular Christmas movie of the same name.
4. Historic. Streets in older neighborhoods like Federal Hill and Fell's Point are paved with granite Belgian block, often confused with cobblestone.
5. Creative. Baltimore had three designated Arts & Entertainment districts: Highlandtown, Bromo Seltzer, and a Station North. |
