Have a safe New Year’s Eve. Remember that December 31st is not a city holiday so meter maids will be ticketing the uninformed. I hope this coming decade is one of true change and rebirth for Baltimore.

A few Sundays ago I traveled to the Harlem Park neighborhood of Baltimore with Park Advocate Chris Delaporte and Bmoresmart member Robert Wray. Chris and Robert loved my other Baltimore videos and they wanted to be a part of my next video series. Robert did the filming with his incredible camera. I hope you like the difference in video quality.
This series is all about the neighborhood of Harlem Park in West Baltimore. Harlem Park is filled with empty lots and empty houses. There is an odd sense of emptiness on many of its streets. The neighborhood has a lot of green space. Glorious Lafayette Square park is located in the Northeast part the neighborhood. The neighborhood is filled with empty HABC houses and I talk about this issue in many of the segments. The “Highway to Nowhere” is the southern boundary of Harlem Park and I share my thoughts about it in a few of the videos.
Not many people get to visit Harlem Park and even fewer are brave enough to travel through some of the alleys that we walked through. I hope you learn something about this potential-filled neighborhood from these videos. Here are two of them, keep checking back for more:
