Baltimore City’s plastic bag ban goes into effect on October 1st and alternative bags will cost a minimum of 5 cents per bag.

As a project with the Baltimore National Heritage Area we explored several of the historic properties in Fell’s Point and the businesses that occupy them today.

August is National Black Business Month. Few cities in America can match the rich African-American heritage that Baltimore is blessed with. As one of the oldest parts of the city and an important port, Greater Fell’s Point has also endowed this legacy.

Celebrate International Women’s Day all month by supporting the variety of women-owned businesses in Fell’s Point. Starting a business is a Herculean task in the best of circumstances. It’s even more of a challenge when historically women have had to face further challenges solely due to bias against their gender. Their businesses are nothing short of heroic examples of the strength and fortitude in the face of institutional hurdles to their success.
